- Title
Les OEuvres choisies de Théophile de Viau par Jean-Pierre Chauveau ou le parti pris de l'actualisation.
- Authors
Rosellini, Michèle
- Abstract
When editing Théophile de Viau's OEuvres diverses, Jean-Pierre Chauveau chose a style of presentation that broke away from that of his predecessors. Rejecting generic classification and the reprise of fugitive works intended to retrace the poet's courtesan career, he organized the work's chronological trajectory based on the stages of Viau's "dramatic destiny" (success, disgrace, prison, death) while selecting those poems most immediately and emotionally accessible to readers taken aback by the mournful title of the final verses of the poet, dead at 36: Après m'avoir tant fait mourir. Thanks to these different updating modes, the anthology finds a legitimate place in the "Poésie/Gallimard" collection, devoted for the most part to the distribution of contemporary French and foreign poetry. As well, it resonates, in the early twenty-first century, with the history of the preceding century marked by the persecution of artists and intellectuals.
