| Résumé : | Although we can read Honoré d'Urfé's name on several occasions in Giovan Battista Marino's correspondence, the concrete reasons and origins of such a connection still remain obscure to us. However, when observing their literary evolution, the Court of Savoy seems to have played a similar role in both cases, enabling the two writers to shift their activities from their own countries to other places. Deeply rooted in the pastoral tradition, their works partly reveal the positions of the authors, relocating themselves at the borders either of France or Italy, as well as offering a new version of the pastoral dream: the one of an imaginary land, remote from the contemporary vicissitudes. |
