Rostand de guerre
Résumé
This study looks at the conditions under which Rostand wrote and published the poems that were collected in Le Vol de la Marseillaise soon after his death. Starting with an analysis of the discursive situation that was furnished for him during the world war and based on readings of several plays, it shows how Rostand was able to appropriate war discourse and how he found the means to bring it before the public in such a way that he came to be seen as a real national poet.
Cette étude s’intéresse aux conditions dans lesquelles Rostand a rédigé et publié les poèmes qui ont été réunis dans Le Vol de la Marseillaise au lendemain de sa disparition. Partant d’une analyse de la situation discursive qui lui a été faite durant le conflit mondial et s’appuyant sur la lecture de plusieurs pièces, l’on montre comment Rostand est parvenu à s’approprier un discours de guerre et s’est donné le moyen de le porter devant le public au point de faire figure de véritable poète national.
