Fiction and history: conflicts over an invisible border in early modern period
Franc¸oise Lavocat - Personal Name
The role and the legitimacy of fiction during the sixteenth and seventeenth
century sparked an intense debate. Numerous indications suggest that
indifference about the mixing of exact history and imaginary facts becomes a more
and more dated attitude at the end of sixteenth century. I will examine three different
cases: an epic by Luis de Zapata, Carlo famoso (1566) The Agatonphile by
Jean-Pierre Camus (1620) and Gilles Me´nage’s annotations of Tasso’s Aminta. The
question of distinguishing fact from fiction in these works appears as particularly
urgent and interacts with interpretation on several levels The question is if one
identifies, in more or less explicit ways the criteria of the fictitious in the texts;
furthermore, all three authors would like to impose on their readers a proper
interpretation of their work or the work of Tasso in the case of Me´nage What are
the motivations the conceptual means and the results of these three authors’
attempts to highlight the status of their work and consequently the very nature of
fiction?
