Louis-Patrick Bergot, Apocalypse et littérature au Moyen Âge. Réception de l’imaginaire apocalyptique dans la littérature française des xiie et xiiie siècles by Louis-Patrick Bergot

“…Several parts of medieval literature resort to this imaginary, whether it be visionary literature (with The Vision of Tondale and The Purgatory of Saint Patrick), allegorical literature (in The Tournament of the Antichrist and The Romance of the Rose) or didactic and religious literature (in La Somme le roi, the sermons or the stuffed epistles). The apocalyptic imaginary thus impregnates a considerable part of the literature of this time, so that one can consider it as an autonomous mental universe, rich of motives, places, creatures, and sometimes of anxieties. …”

Letters to Swift — Foreword by Ruth MENZIES, Jean VIVIÈS

“…Ces lettres lui sont adressées par l’un de ses contemporains (« Stella », Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, et Gabriel de Foigny, l’une de ses sources françaises) ou bien par des écrivains ultérieurs comme Jane Austen, Ian Sansom, ou encore par des personnages imaginaires (une physicienne, une membre de l’Académie française qui s’intéresse à ses idées linguistiques, un commentateur des Sermons ou une chercheuse en traductologie).

Ils sont les témoignages de certaines tensions qui affectèrent la société espagnole du XVIIe siècle.…”
