La Bataille de Kirholm d’Henri Krasiński et le roman historique transnational polono-français à l’époque romantique

Abstract

Bataille de Kirholm by Henri Krasiński and the transnational Polish-French historical novel in the Romantic era The author of the article proposes an interpretation of the novel Bataille de Kirholm by Henri Krasiński through the notions of francophony, migration and transnationalism. He analyzes the authorial posture adopted by the writer, based on his migrant status, but also the poetics of his text, based on the transposition into French of Polish historical, cultural and linguistic elements. He thus intends to underline the interest of a little-known literary phenomenon, that of historical novels with Polish subject, published in the Romantic era by French-speaking Polish authors.
