Jeune \u00e9tudiant fra\u00eechement arriv\u00e9 de Poitiers, Dorante est impatient de d\u00e9couvrir les joies de la capitale. Tr\u00e8s vite, il tombe sous le charme d\u2019une jeune femme, Clarice, qu\u2019il croit se nommer Lucr\u00e8ce, et aupr\u00e8s de laquelle il se vante d\u2019exploits militaires imaginaires. Lorsque son p\u00e8re G\u00e9ronte lui propose Clarice en mariage, Dorante, qui ignore toujours la v\u00e9ritable identit\u00e9 de la jeune fille, croit pouvoir se soustraire \u00e0 cet engagement par un nouveau mensonge\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans cette suite vertigineuse de \u00abmenteries\u00bb greff\u00e9es sur un quiproquo, Corneille explore la veine d\u2019une com\u00e9die de bon ton, loin de la commedia dell\u2019arte et de la farce, et c\u00e9l\u00e8bre, \u00e0 travers son personnage d\u2019affabulateur de g\u00e9nie, les joies de l\u2019invention verbale et la magie de la parole th\u00e9\u00e2trale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Destin\u00e9e \u00e0 la fois aux \u00e9tudiants fran\u00e7ais pr\u00e9parant l’Agr\u00e9gation de lettres 2025 et aux enseignants des lyc\u00e9es pour lesquels cette com\u00e9die de Corneille est au programme du Baccalaur\u00e9at, cette nouvelle \u00e9dition de Marc Escola (Section de fran\u00e7ais<\/a>) propose notamment un dossier qui d\u00e9veloppe quatre th\u00e9matiques: 1. Petits mensonges entre honn\u00eates gens: la com\u00e9die selon Corneille; 2. Les menteurs corn\u00e9liens: mensonges en s\u00e9rie; 3. Honn\u00eates mensonges: la morale du monde; 4. La vie comme un th\u00e9\u00e2tre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elle s\u2019accompagne en outre de la publication sur Fabula d’une \u00abBibliographie pour l’\u00e9tude du Menteur\u00bb<\/a> con\u00e7ue comme un gisement de ressources directement accessibles en ligne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
