Jouer aux troubadours à l’aube des Lumières (Sévigné, L’Héritier)

In their galant performances of troubadour lyric, Mlle L’Héritier and Mme de Sévigné inscribe themselves in a medieval tradition of textual mouvance. They thus participate in a subjectivisation of the past that sets itself against more scholarly approaches, yet also has its own truth value.
