Jean Bonamour, Eugène-Melchior de Vogüé and the reception of Gor'kii in France. 1900-1905.
Gor'kii was but little known in France when E.M. de Vogüé published about him an article (Revue des Deux Mondes, August 1, 1901). Success came quickly mixed with various discussions : Nietzscheism, "decadence", social background in Russia. It is within this context that E.M. de Vogiié suggests an outline of a literary analysis - or auto-analysis of his own appreciation as a reader - which inserts Gor'kii within the series of great classics sketched in The Russian novel. Faithful to the ideas of Joseph de Maistre, he sees in Gor'kii's "revolt" a phase of the eternal European romanticism but also a harbinger of the coming social upheavals. When including the future first Soviet writer into a "Slavophile", and already nostalgic vision of the nineteenth-century Russia, Vogüé becomes one of the promoters of the "secularization" of the "Russian myth." This secular version, very remote from the message that The Russian novel purported to present, will enjoy great success after the war and the revolution. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
