Abstract(s)
Connu à son époque comme « physicien de l’amour » ou « philosophe de la femme », Claude
Crébillon (1707-1777) est un auteur livré au plaisir de l’écriture et maître d’un style incomparable
qui séduit d’emblée son lecteur et l’invite à des jeux complexes d’interprétation. Dans cette
étude, nous aborderons L’Écumoire, un récit galant d’inspiration prétendument orientale, dans
lequel le jeune auteur s’adonne à la problématisation du genre merveilleux et du libertinage
galant, notamment en profitant du contexte de la séduisante Île Jonquille.
Known in his time as « physicist of love » or « philosopher of women », Claude Crébillon (1707-1777) is an author surrendered to the pleasure of writing and master of an incomparable style that seduced his reader and invites him to complex interpretation games. In this study, we will approach L’Écumoire, a gallant tale of supposedly oriental inspiration, in which the young author devotes himself to the problematization of the marvellous genre and gallant libertinism, namely in making the most of the context of the seductive Île Jonquille.
