In his historical novel Le Chevalier des Touches (1864), Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly paints a sombre picture of the former counterrevolutionary Chouan heroes of Normandy : over the first decades following the French Revolution, the aristocrats lose their ancestral castle and end up living in an anachronistic salon while slowly falling into collective oblivion. Therefore, this article argues that Barbey d’Aurevilly’s novel is concerned with a pressing memory crisis (in the sense of the term coined by Richard Terdiman) which manifests itself in the material sphere. For this purpose, the gradual decay of the nobles’ abodes will be analyzed, from the transformation of their castle to the asylum where the protagonist spends his last days. The examination of these intérieurs allows us to gain extensive insight into Barbey d’Aurevilly’s attachment to the Ancien Régime and his fundamental repudiation of the social changes occasioned by the political developments in 19th-century France.

History is very important in Barbey d’Aurevilly’s literary work. One can feel enormous nostalgia for the past in his novels, even those which are not typically historical. The French Revolution of 1789, the Chouan movement and the nobility are recurring themes which fascinate and inspire the novelist. Barbey willingly draws on history, but he chooses historical facts with the aim of modifying them according to his wishes. His novels are not a faithful transcription of the past: they rewrite history, which eventually becomes a myth and is placed in a world where symbolic and supernatural dimension is by far more important than reality. Expressing the novelist’s philosophy of history, his novels become a sort of poems woven on the canvas of history.

Transforming reality into traces of what once was, Barbey d’Aurevilly’s novels create a world of vestiges which entice the reader to pursue what always escapes his grasp. This article distinguishes, among these vestiges, the lost feeling of love in individuals’ lives, the loss of tradition through the turmoil of the French Revolution, and the neglected effects of sin according to the Christian narrative. It then attempts to show how these representations of the past, successively psychological, political and theological, are summoned by a layering of uncertain recollections. These take the form of bodily experience, as characters are faced with their own physical decay over time; of territorial symbols, as loss is woven into the landscape in which those characters evolve; and of mysterious utterances, as custodians of memory both suggest and veil by their words the meaning of events.

Métamorphosant le réel en un ensemble de traces, Barbey d’Aurevilly opère dans ses romans un devenir-vestige du monde, qui suscite dans l’imagination de son lecteur une quête de ce qui toujours se dérobe à lui. On distinguera, parmi ces vestiges, ceux du sentiment perdu sur le plan individuel, ceux de la tradition perdue sur le plan de l’histoire, et ceux de la faute sur le plan du récit chrétien. On s’efforcera surtout de montrer que ces représentations du révolu, tour à tour psychologique, politique et métaphysique, sont sous-tendues par un univers sensible qui se manifeste par un feuilletage de vestiges. Corporels, par la ruine physique des personnages, ils sont aussi paysagers, en inscrivant la perte dans les territoires où ces personnages se meuvent, et ils appellent enfin des paroles médiatrices de la part de gardiens de la mémoire qui en suggèrent une interprétation voilée ou en font deviner le sens.

As a substitute father figure, a mentor, a tutor and a writer to be admired and imitated, Barbey d’Aurevilly acted as a master for Bloy from the moment they first met. Indeed, among all the other self-proclaimed heirs of Barbey’s legacy, Bloy seems to be the most ardent disciple of the Connétable des Lettres. As we concentrate on the way Bloy constructs multiple authority figures who all somehow relate to Barbey, we propose to study the way these two writers, who both lean exclusively towards the figurative, give a particular depth to their relationship by elaborating their imagery, which plays an essential role in the way they construct the bond between master and disciple. This investigation will, in addition, lead us to consider how such a relationship cannot come about without any occasional differences of opinion or mutual irritation. Far from shying away from the master, Bloy clearly constructs his own authorial persona in the light of the brilliant master, rather than in his shadow.

Père de substitution, mentor, tuteur, objet d’admiration et d’imitation, Barbey d’Aurevilly remplit pour Bloy, depuis leur rencontre, les fonctions d’un maître. Parmi tous ceux qui se revendiqueront d’un héritage de Barbey, Bloy semble en effet avoir été le disciple le plus fervent du Connétable des Lettres. Tout en nous concentrant en particulier sur la manière dont les figures d’autorité qui renvoient à Barbey se construisent chez Bloy, nous nous proposons de voir comment ces deux écrivains, qui sont entièrement du côté du figuratif, donnent une densité particulière à leur rapport à travers le travail de l’image qui prend une place centrale et essentielle dans la construction du lien entre un maître et un disciple. Cette enquête nous amènera en outre à considérer qu’une telle relation de va ni sans prise de distance ponctuelle ni sans agacement réciproque. Loin de s’effacer devant le maître, Bloy se construit clairement moins dans l’ombre que dans la lumière d’un maître qui l’éclaire.
