Epistolary exchange occupies a very important place in the social, political and cultural practices of the pre-modern era, asserting itself as a literary genre in the Renaissance. Throughout the sixteenth century, the Italian printing press specializes in the publication of books of letters, and the publication in 1564, in Venice, of Francesco Sansovino's treatise Del Secretario inaugurates a rich tradition of handwriting epistolary for feather professionals. These editorial trends highlight humanist knowledge rooted in the Quattrocento school and university education on a European scale, whose rhetorical base is based on Cicero's correspondence.--Librairie Droz.

In a century marked by innumerable armed conflicts and incessant theological quarrels, including tensions between the Church, the State and the Philosophes, literary correspondence provides a privileged site via which to examine the mechanisms of surveillance. Epistolary communication was at the heart of daily life among the eighteenth-century literati. Familiar with methods of surveillance, the Enlightenment elite often amused themselves by sending unsealed missives, or else directly mocked those with prying eyes, even urging them to continue reading. Both public and private documents, located at the crossroads of all forms of activity, these letters have at times been destroyed, lost or forgotten. While some remain forever sealed or silenced, others form part of Europe's literary heritage. Whether in letters between friends, diplomatic correspondence or police reports, one conceals and surveils oneself. The eight articles that constitute this volume offer an epistolary journey through eighteenth-century Europe by focusing on forgotten or famous people, even unknowns, all of whom must have written their correspondence while watching or knowing that they were being watched.

"La douleur, qu’il s’agisse de la sienne ou de celle des autres, est l’une des thématiques majeures de l’art épistolaire. Lorsqu’il s’agit de la douleur physique et de ses manifestations, médecine et philosophie s’y croisent, notamment lorsqu’il est question de rechercher des remèdes. La souffrance morale est aussi traitée, dans une perspective qui embrasse à la fois les sources et les convictions religieuses, sociales et culturelles.Les lettres offrent plusieurs cas de figure et d’espoirs de réponse : puissance ou impuissance de la correspondance – et plus largement de l’art – contre le mal intérieur, utilisation des épîtres au service d’une thérapie dont l’homme se veut le seul objet, recours à la divinité dans une économie du salut. Le deuil, enfin, qu’il s’agisse de drames aussi célèbres que Catulle et la perte de son frère, Cicéron et celle de sa fille Tullia, ouvre la porte au genre de la consolatio : messages chrétiens insérés dans le cadre de la foi, angoisse de la mort compensée par la croyance en l’au-delà, richesse du mysticisme venant au secours de la peur inhérente à notre condition mortelle."
