Synopsis

L'Art d'aimer, ce chef d'oeuvre d'Ovide, a eu une influence capitale sur les ecrivains du siecle des Lumieres mais ce n'est que maintenant que cet ouvrage fait l'objet de l'attention des dix-huitiemistes. En elaborant un `art' d'aimer, Ovide comblait ce profond desir de theoriser le monde si difficilement saisissable des sentiments humains, desir qui a egalement ete l'une des grandes obsessions du siecle des Lumieres. Dans L'`Art d'aimer' au siecle des Lumieres Stephanie Loubere retrace et decrit l'impact et la reception de l'ouvrage d'Ovide, depuis les fideles traductions en vers du debut du 18eme siecle jusqu'aux autres imitations poetiques, reecritures, et modernisations qu'il a inspirees cinquante ans plus tard. L'Art d'aimer de Gentil-Bernard, salue par Freron comme etant `un des ouvrages les plus celebres de ce siecle' fait l'objet d'une attention particuliere. Gentil-Bernard, ne cherchant plus a adapter ou a imiter l'original, exprimait une conception sensualiste de l'amour qui etait neuve par le lien qui lui faisait reunir plaisir et savoir. L'auteur documente le declin du modele ovidien a mesure que les oeuvres de fiction libertines augmentent en popularite, et retrace sa transformation en d'autres parodies d'ecriture didactique qui vont du traite juridique au catechisme. Stephanie Loubere aborde son etude du libertinage du 18eme siecle a partir de la nouvelle perspective de la reception de l'oeuvre d'Ovide. Elle apporte une contribution d'une valeur inestimable a la comprehension de la tradition classique pendant le siecle des Lumieres, a la fois pour les classicistes et pour les specialistes de la litterature du 18eme siecle.

Review

'There are excellent pages on forgotten imitators of Ovid such as d'Alegre, Voisenon, and Gouge de Cessieres, and three remarkable chapters on Gentil-Bernard, the most talented neo-Ovidian of his time. When dealing with him as well as less well-known contemporaries, Loubere quotes widely, allowing the reader to gain insights into the poems.' Modern Language Review
