Si Alexis Piron fut longtemps connu uniquement comme l’auteur de la grande comédie La Métromanie, plus récemment la découverte de quelques-unes de ses pièces foraines, surtout le monologue délirant qu’est Arlequin-Deucalion, révéla un autre aspect de son talent comique. Mais il fut aussi l’auteur de trois tragédies, dont la deuxième, Gustave-Wasa (1733), devint l’une des mieux connues de l’époque. Ce volume présente cette tragédie avec les paratextes préparés par Piron pour sa réédition dans les Œuvres de 1758.

Les incidents foisonnent dans cette aventure de cape et d’épée, qui se déroule sur le fond historique de la fin de l’Union de Kalmar, quand Gustav Vasa chassa de Stockholm Christian II, détenteur de la triple couronne du Danemark, de la Suède et de la Norvège, pour prendre sa place comme roi suédois.

Derek Connon est Professeur de français à l’Université de Swansea.

Reviews:

‘Connon’s rich critical edition boasts extensive contextualization and intriguing paratexts. His wide-ranging Introduction analyses the tragedic elements of pity, terror, and character self-revelation, alongside Piron’s spirited self-defence against Prévost’s accusations of plagiarism.’ — Síofra Pierse, Modern Language Review 113.1, January 2018, 244-45 (full text online)
