In June 2006 delegates from eight countries representing six French, US, and British-based learned societies met at St Catherine’s College, Oxford, for a conference on the French long seventeenth century entitled ‘Modernites/Modernities’. Nineteen of the best papers on theatre, fiction and poetry were selected for this volume, and they present new perspectives on novels as different as L'Astree and Le Roman bourgeois, comedy and tragedy, actors’ practices, the ballet de cour and the burgeoning genre of opera, and a time span from Du Bellay to Mme de Gomez. The cardinal feature of this wide range of topics lies in the unifying factor of vibrant modernity.
En juin 2006 un colloque sur le theme de la modernite pendant l'age classique a reuni a St Catherine’s College, Oxford, des specialistes venus de huit pays pour representer six societes savantes dont quatre francaises, une americaine, et une britannique. Dix-neuf communications sur le theatre, le roman et la poesie choisies parmi les meilleures sont recueillies dans le present volume, qui fournit de nouvelles perspectives sur des romans aussi divers que L'Astree et Le Roman bourgeois, la comedie et la tragedie, le jeu des comediens, le ballet de cour et le genre naissant de l'opera, sur une periode qui va de Du Bellay a Mme de Gomez. L'aspect capital de cette envergure reside dans la vitalite cohesive de la modernite.
