| Publisher Description: La Chose de Waterloo : l'expression invent e par Victor Hugo dit bien la difficult qu'il y a qualifier la bataille du 18 juin 1815. Qu'est-elle devenue au fur et mesure de ses incessantes vocations depuis deux cents ans dans les textes les plus divers (livres d'histoire, M moires, roman, po sie, th tre) ? L'ouvrage veut comprendre les ressorts de cette incantation prolong e qui, force de narrer toujours les m mes v nements, en pr cise et en brouille tout la fois le souvenir. La question est approch e travers l' tude des repr sentations litt raires les plus c l bres de la bataille (Stendhal, Hugo), mais aussi de textes beaucoup plus rares. Victor Hugo's expression La Chose de Waterloo emphasizes the two hundred year quandary of adequately describing the battle, held on June 18th 1815. What are the various ways in which a variety of texts (history books, memoirs, novels, poetry, plays) have tried to evoke this event? This book tries to understand the mechanisms of this phenomenon which, by telling the same events over and over, makes them more precise and less clear at the same time. The question is approached through the study of some of the most famous literary representations of the battle (Stendhal, Hugo), but also through less well-known texts.
