Lafayette’s experience of having a prestigious younger friend, Princess Henriette, commission a memoir of her life, only to drop the project partway through, pushed Lafayette to recognize how much she had already discerned about the princess even without the latter’s insider information. Drawing on trenchant observations culled from the sidelines of the court, Lafayette developed narrative techniques that valorized what she had observed from afar and from below. Importantly, Lafayette expanded these techniques in La Princesse de Clèves, creating a memorialist narrator and perspicacious characters whose powers of observation and whose ideas about manners resemble her own in the memoir. Though the novel’s narrator has often been described as omniscient, the earlier memoir reveals that Lafayette understands such discernment as deeply rooted in the social. Though painfully aware that she was not the kind of flashy, younger friend Henriette truly favored, Lafayette highlights the value of her years and the solidity of her manners, rooted as they are in ‘la civilité des conditions ordinaires’. In both texts, Lafayette shows readers that at the crossroads of the court, every observer and point of view deserves notice. This reading helps us understand La Princesse de Clèves as less elitist than many previous readers have claimed. It also highlights the larger role of unequal friendship in prompting early modern conversations about manners and bringing prescriptions about them into writing.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"38 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/0265106812Z.0000000004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65823023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Lettres provinciales are predicated on a correspondence, first between friends, and then between enemies. In the first phase of the campaign, Montalte’s exchanges with the ami provincial and dialogues with the ami Janséniste initiate a fictive device which was to become a landmark in polemical writing, even if friends in the remaining letters are both more restricted and more consistent in their functions. Turning to the Pensées, we find that, although the term ‘ami’ occurs relatively rarely, this infrequency is countered by the fact that it is found in three of the most centrally important fragments: S 39, an organizational fragment, devoted to an epistolary friend; S 681, which invites the reader’s evaluation of a putative non-friend, who serves as one of Pascal’s most striking counter-examples; and the second exemplary friend, who appears in the wager argument (S 680), showing how certain of the less irretrievable values of the unbeliever are espoused in an active campaign of persuasion. In these ways the strategic efficacy of friendship remains indispensable as one of the most convincing of Pascal’s arts de persuader.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"77 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/0265106812Z.0000000007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65823306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Une telle analogie est, semble-t-il, consubstantielle à la poétique, puisqu'on la trouve déjà chez Aristote, et plus tard chez Horace, qui bannit du champ artistique toute forme de monstruosité. Mais elle prend à l'âge dit 'classique' — âge des classifications selon Michel Foucault — une résonance particulière, puisque deux modèles entrent alors en concurrence. Si le bestiaire que propose par exemple Boileau dans son Art poétique relève manifestement de la conception renaissante des genres, qui prend modèle sur la pratique de la collection (ou de l'herbier) et rejette, avec Horace, les espèces monstrueuses, un autre type de catégorisation plus moderne se fait jour qui, de Guarini à Perrault en passant par Chapelain, obéit à une logique de l'arborescence inspirée d'Aristote et visant à «naturaliser» les nouveaux genres. Cette méthode fondée sur le principe de la combinatoire et de l'hybridation ne va pas cependant jusqu'à légitimer la catégorie du monstrueux comme tel, un pas qui ne sera franchi — timidement — qu'à la toute fin du XVIIe siècle.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"12 1","pages":"80 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/175226911X13166031973835","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65678244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
