Ferveur stendhalienne à l’ouverture du XXIe siècle

 

Abstract

Malgré le recul général de la lecture à notre époque, Stendhal se porte bien. La diversité des formes de l’intérêt qu’il suscite, aussi bien dans les universités que dans le grand public, en est la preuve. Grenoble — Paris — l’Italie, trois lieux stendhaliens demeurent fort actifs, mais le rayonnement de Stendhal s’étend à toute l’Europe, et bien au-delà: ainsi au Japon. Le point de ralliement de toutes ces ferveurs stendhaliennes pourrait bien être la fascination qu’exerce encore à notre époque un ‘maître de l’art de vivre, un modèle d’homme libre’.

Abstract

Despite the ongoing general decline in reading, Stendhal continues to thrive, as demonstrated by the various forms of interest he manages to generate amongst both academics and the general public. Three major Stendhalian centres — Grenoble, Paris, and Italy — remain hives of activity, but the author’s reach extends right across Europe, and well beyond, for example as far away as Japan. The focal point of all this Stendhalian fervour could well be the fascination that he still exerts in the twenty-first century as a ‘master of the art of living and model of what it is to be a free man’.
