Abstract:
Abstract Since its publication in 1884, Angéline de Montbrun has given rise to numerous interpretations of various types : moralizing, psychoanalytic, formalist, and feminist. One aspect of this novel which has thus far received scant critical attention is its literariness. Nevertheless, this text is based as much, if not more, on literary intertextuality than on an extratextual reality. Indeed, Angéline de Montbrun contains numerous citations, some of which are identified, but most of which remain implicit. Above all, the novel displays a privileged and constant relationship with its genotext, Eugénie de Guérin's Journal. In this article, I propose a reading of Angéline de Montbrun that highlights its nature as a palimpsest and that clarifies Laure Conan's intertextual practice, both in terms of the novel's relations with a number of different texts, and especially with the Journal of Conan's illustrious precursor.
