- Abstract
- (en) Although little explored by critics, the relationship that polemical and pamphleteering discourse has with time is nevertheless of crucial importance from the French Revolution to the early 19th century. Offering snapshots of the political and social climate, pamphlets combine the immediacy of a content in tune with the times with that of a brief, quickly readable form. However, those who write pamphlets do not give up the idea of a posterity for their writings, and thus the ambition to create a lasting literary work. Two temporalities therefore coexist in the polemical gesture. Thus, the examination of pamphlets published from 1789 to 1848 allows us to think afresh about the way in which the literature of the revolutionary era envisages and represents time through its relationship to contemporary events, to the recent past and to the more distant past. This article is therefore devoted to this relationship to time that permeates polemical writings, from Olympe de Gouges to Claude Tillier.
