| Résumé : |
The Return of Martin Guerre (1983) by the pioneering American historian Natalie Zemon
Davis, has been widely considered as one of the most controversial novels not only because it
presents a fictional account of an actual event, but also because it is a novel that is composed
by a historian. The latter claims that she invents a new approach to history writing, an
approach that blends a historical event with subjective invention. This fact raises the question
of how successfully the female author verbalises a possible way of addressing the interplay of
the discourses of historicity and fictionality, especially that her being a historian compels her
to establish veracity through avoiding any suggestion of subjective intervention. The current
dissertation then, seeks to investigate the extent to which Davis, the historian and the
novelist, manages to make such interplay possible. In order to achieve this aim, a critio
analytical approach is adopted so as to assess whether Davis succeeds at reconciling the
supposedly historicity of her book with its constitutive literariness; or, fictionality. This
dissertation ultimately concludes that The Return of Martin Guerre does neither embrace the
objectivity underlying historical books nor does it meet the appealing quality of fictional
narratives |
