About the Book

Quelle est la fille qui (...) etant servante refuse de devenir maOEtresse, et d'avoir les domestiques ... ses ordres? Au lieu de la simplicite des vetements qui convient ... son etat, on lui en promet de magnifiques. On va au-devant de tous ses desirs, on lui prodigue les presents; on lui promet que tout lui sera fourni en abondance; l'indigence o- elle a vecu jusqu'alors, lui fait trouver encore plus de charmes dans un changement qui doit la mettre si fort ... son aise. Ajoutez ... cela quelque vieille femme, qui sous pretexte de l'aider de ses conseils, contribue ... la faire donner dans le piege qu'on lui tend... le moyen qu'elle se tire d'un pas si glissant? Vous m'avouerez qu'il faut une vertu peu commune pour resister ... tant de sujets de tentation...Les quatre recits, quoique rediges apres 1720, depeignent la vie quotidienne de jeunes gens dans le Paris de la fin du XVIIe siecle. Leurs intrigues traitent des passions amoureuses et des obstacles que rencontrent de jeunes amants. On peut lire ces histoires en ignorant qu'elles ont paru ... la suite du chef-d'oeuvre de Robert Challe dans les differentes editions qui se sont succede au cours du XVIIIe siecle; mais ces pages ne prennent leur pleine dimension que si l'on a dej... lu Les Illustres Francaises. Certains des problemes abordes par Robert Challe sont repris par des ecrivains anonymes soucieux de faire passer leurs recits pour des productions authentiques de Robert Challe. Ils s'inspirent directement de son ton et de sa maniere. Ce sont des pastiches. Paradoxalement, ces nouvelles confirment les topoi que Challe s'ingeniait ... subvertir. On y touve en effet de nombreux stereotypes que la narration de Challe reussit ordinairement ... eviter ou ... renouveler. Entre autres, alors que Challe organise son recueil pour qu'on y enregistre une montee croissante du tragique, les continuateurs de ces nouvelles, inscrites dans la ligne des Illustres Francaises, choisissent de privilegier les happy ends. Comme le disait Michele Weil, on ne reecrit pas Challe, mais ... leur facon, ces recits revelent ce que les contemporains de Challe ont percu de son art. S'ils n'atteignent jamais son intensite, leurs auteurs s'inspirent directement de sa maniere, lui empruntent ses themes, voire son style.De tous les petits maOEtres qui suivent Breugel, aucun ne se confond avec Breugel lui-meme, et pourtant, leurs peintures ne manquent pas d'interet des qu'elles ne se reduisent pas ... de simple reproductions et qu'on arrive ... les considerer pour elles-memes. C'est un peu ce qui se produit pour les histoires reunies dans ce recueil. On leur touve du charme des qu'on arrive ... oublier qu'elles voulaient rivaliser avec Les Illustres Francaises de Robert Challe.
