Crises et renouveaux du geste hagiographiqueLes Vies de Jeanne de Chantal (xviie et xxe siècles)
Publication type: Book
Author:Lencquesaing (Marion de)
Abstract: The Lives of Jeanne de Chantal give us the opportunity to interpret the new saints of the seventeenth century. The condemnation in the Index of Henri Bremond’s Sainte Chantal (1912) is the jumping off point for this study. This return to the seventeenth century is a controversial gesture: to write a Life is to pose new questions about sanctity.
