La dissidence de Castellion: Raison, vérité et conscience
L’analyse de la rhétorique délibérative du Conseil à la France désolée et des principes énoncés dans son De arte dubitandi permet de distinguer dissidence, parrhēsia, et discours religieux hétérodoxe. Par leur insistance sur la raison et l’évidence des sens, et par leur visée délibérative et universelle, ses écrits constituent un corpus dissident, en contraste avec le discours particulier du dire-vrai au pouvoir du parrhēsiaste et le témoignage d…

Pleasure as Unconstrained Movement in Renaissance Literary Aesthetics
In this essay I show that the pleasure provided by the poem as an imaginary landscape, as evidenced in rhetorical theory (Quintilian's analysis of varietas in Virgil's Georgics ), and in exemplary poems by Du Bellay ('Romae descriptio') and Ronsard ('Elegie à Louis Des Masures'), can be identified as that of unconstrained movement. Aristotle's definition of pleasure as unimpeded activity of our natural faculties in the Nicomachean Ethics captures…
La Parole incertaine: Montaigne en dialogue
Dans cet essai Philip Knee se propose de voir chez Montaigne le début d'un engagement avec ce qu'exige la démocratie: une parole « incertaine » et toujours personnelle, une ouverture à autrui, l'acceptation de l'inachèvement et de la contingence comme éléments du jugement.Au lieu d'étudier systématiquement la « pensée » de Montaigne qui se démarquerait des philosophes politiques de son siècle, ou de la tradition politique classique, l'auteur se l…

L’Éloge du Prince: De l’Antiquité au temps des Lumières
S’interrogeant sur une pratique à la fois littéraire et politique, les auteurs de cet ouvrage ont envisagé les différentes facettes de l’éloge adressé à un Prince, qu’il s’agisse d’un empereur romain ou d’un roi de France. Sont ainsi proposées, pour une période qui va de l’Antiquité au temps des Lumières, des réflexions sur les aspects théoriques du genre épidictique et ses textes fondateurs, ainsi que des synthèses sur le fonctionnement de l’élo…
French Sixteenth-Century Literary Studies in the United States Today
Until recently American graduate programs in French divided the literary tradition into manageable morsels: Middle Ages, Sixteenth Century, Seventeenth Century, Eighteenth Century, Nineteenth Century, Twentieth Century, and Francophone Literature. The introduction of a Literary Theory component and of Cultural Studies changed that picture only to the extent that, since French Studies are not an expanding, but a contracting or at best stable area …
The Renaissance Novella as Justice
This essay examines short narrative (the Decameron, the Heptameion, the histoire tragique, and Till Eulenspiegel) as reflections of different models of justice within the Aristotelian-Ciceronian tradition. The exchanges among characters, and the conclusion of these exchanges, are patterned in ways that provide justice without requiring the virtuousness of any one character. The link between short narrative and justice illuminates the more general…

Exemplum: The Rhetoric of Example in Early Modern France and Italy
Examples, crucial links between discourse and society's view of reality, have until now been largely neglected in literary criticism. In the first book-length study of the rhetoric of example, John Lyons situates this figure by comparing it with more frequently studied tropes such as metaphor and synecdoche, discusses meanings of the terms example and exemplum, and proposes a set of descriptive concepts for the study of example in early modern li…

Hypothetical Necessity and Fiction in the Early Renaissance
The figure of the poet and the role of the reader in Renaissance fiction have been the focus of much critical attention: Robert Durling's classic analysis of the poet in epic, and Terence Cave's recent studies of the reader and reading are two emblematic cases.1 The poet and the reader are roughly the two poles of the communicative situation, and the emergence of strong poet and reader figures are signs of the increased insistence on the process …
