Le Page disgracié de Tristan L’Hermite et l’écriture de soi – problématique d’une œuvre ambiguë
The disgraced page of Tristan L'Hermite and the writing of oneself - problematic of an ambiguous work

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyze autobiographical components in the novel Le Page disgracié by Tristan L’Hermite, basing on the main criteria defined by Philippe Lejeune, Philippe Gasparini and René Demoris. It shows how the concept of ‘autobiographical pact’ and other cognate theories may only help to notice the complexity and variety of relations between literary fiction and biographical elements in Tristan L’Hermite’s work. In fact, by combining different esthetics and literary conventions, the uniqueness of this eclectic text seems make impossible to define its precise literary genre.
