Document Details : Title: Un 'centonet' de Lucain, éloge de l'opportunisme ou de la vertu? Subtitle: Agrippa d'Aubigné, Confession catholicque du sieur de Sancy II, IX Author(s): CHARLET, Jean-Louis Journal: Humanistica Lovaniensia Volume: 72 Date: 2023 Pages: 237-243 DOI: 10.2143/HLO.72.0.3292720 Abstract : Breaking the rules of the antique cento, Agrippa d’Aubigné has written two Latin centones from Lucan’s verses to express an actual political and religious message. We propose a literary and political study of the first, a little cento (24 verses) presented as extemporaneous and inserted in the fictitious confession of Nicolas de Harlay, gentleman converted to Catholicism in 1597: a paradoxical praise of unscrupulous political opportunism (of the roman Catholics!). |
