Overview
Résumé To the Hermitage (2000) est sans doute la réalisation la plus complexe et la plus élaborée de Malcolm Bradbury. Le présent article tente d’éclairer une argumentation subtile et une approche esthétique qui analyse la tradition humaniste du Siècle des lumières en Occident avec en vis-à-vis les forces de déconstruction du postmodernisme. La structure binaire du roman est cependant menacée dans la mesure où elle se décompose au fur et à mesure que l’histoire évolue. Bradbury tente finalement de réaffirmer les valeurs de l’humanisme et celles du Siècle des Lumières par delà les incertitudes postmodernes en mettant en relief la genèse de l’œuvre ainsi que le rôle de l’écrivain. De plus le processus de réflexivité montre que la narration peut être une force tout à la fois fondamentale et contingente. Abstract To the Hermitage (2000) is arguably the most complex and finished achievement of Malcolm Bradbury. The present article is an attempt to illuminate its sophisticated argument and aesthetic approach which could be summed up as a stock-taking of the humanist tradition of Western Enlightenment vis-à-vis the de(con)structive forces of postmodernism. The neat, binary ordering of the novel’s structure is, however, itself under threat, being deconstructed as the story evolves. In the end, Bradbury strives to re-establish humanist and enlightenment values beyond postmodern uncertainties by emphasizing the material aspects of authorship and writing; moreover, the reflexiveness in his fiction suggests that narration itself can become a foundational, albeit contingent force.
