Figures de l’auteur dans le Voyage en Espagne de Gautier

Abstract

What kind of literarity does Gautier’s Voyage en Espagne represents? This paper tries to answer the question by pointing out that it is primarily a matter of posture. From the nonchalant journalist to the ‘literary daguerreotype’, Gautier defines the literary act as the unfolding of the competence all (good) author should have: describing.
