Book Description
I. Gw na lle Boucher, La Po sie philosophique de Voltaire La po sie de Voltaire, d sormais aussi d cri e que sa philosophie, constitue un r el enjeu philosophique: le vers poss de des vertus heuristiques relayant la raison lorsque celle-ci achoppe sur une difficult et la pens e se nourrit de la forme m me du po me. Certes, Voltaire fait ses premi res armes po tiques dans la pol mique, propageant en vers sa philosophie portative fond e sur l'all gorie militante ou le vers gnomique, au risque de voir ses vers-maximes inlassablement ressass s devenir clich s rh toriques et lieux communs de la pens e. Mais avant d' tre actif, le vers philosophique voltairien est d'abord r actif, empreint des motions du po te devant les astres ou les d sastres terrestres. Ainsi, si la philosophie est la condition de la 'vraie' po sie, ce sont peut- tre surtout les impuissances et les d missions philosophiques qui permettent l'expression po tique. Acc dant la po sie lorsque ses id es chouent trouver des certitudes devant les incoh rences du monde, Voltaire serait-il un po te de l'irrationnel? II. Jennifer Tsien, Voltaire and the Temple of bad taste: a study of La Pucelle d'Orl ans Voltaire's mock-epic poem La Pucelle d'Orl ans has delighted, offended, and baffled readers throughout the centuries. In addition to its calculated chaos of genre and style, the poem also contains an improbable number of episodic characters and subplots whose fantastic nature is worthy of Orlando furioso. This study makes sense of La Pucelle d'Orl ans by demonstrating the way in which it represents Voltaire's definition of bad writing, in view of his criticism and the literary debates of the period. In contrast to the classical ideal that Voltaire championed, his mock epic is filled with precisely those elements that he condemned in the works of other writers, including mixed genres, pr ciosit , vulgar language, magic, and grotesque metamorphoses. La Pucelle d'Orl ans shows us the underside of Voltaire's professed neoclassical aesthetics while allowing his readers to indulge in the pleasures of bad taste.
