English summary: Peguy, torn between individualism and civic-mindedness/socialism, is viewed today as a singular conspirator who persistently stumbles in an effort to more effectively rekindle his paradox-prone civic imagination. French description: Les combats de Peguy semblent bien contradictoires au lecteur d'aujourd'hui, comme ils le parurent souvent a ses contemporains: dreyfusard et socialiste anarchisant, il devint un patriote virulent puis un singulier chretien des profondeurs , confondant en sa personne des univers a priori fort incompatibles. Plutot que d'opposer entre elles ces differentes appartenances, ou de croire trop vite que leur articulation ne pose aucun probleme, il est bien plus fructueux de remarquer que c'est une meme contradiction qui traverse de part en part toute son oeuvre, entre l'individu et la cite, entre la solitude et l'engagement, entre le repli mystique et l'elan politique , termes qu'il manie d'une maniere toute singuliere, souvent reversible, et qui font tout le sel et l'actualite de cette oeuvre inclassable.A la tete de ses Cahiers de la quinzaine, Peguy aimait a se rever en conspirateur ses textes, ses amities, ses confidences, lui permirent de fomenter dans un demi-jour la cite ideale a venir, sans jamais renoncer a une forme d'irrepressible individualisme.C'est cela qu'il appelait la mystique devoiler et cacher, dans un meme geste, le secret individuel de toute politique, saper la cite en meme temps qu'on cherche a la fonder. La politique de Peguy, si imperieuse, est aussi une antipolitique; du XXe siecle, il aura porte a la fois le mal et le remede.Alexandre de Vitry est ancien eleve de l'Ecole normale superieure de Lyon, agrege de lettres modernes et docteur en litterature francaise de l'Universite Paris-Sorbonne. Il a publie L'invention de Philippe Muray (2011) et La conquete de l'Alsace (2014), ainsi que divers articles sur la litterature francaise du XIXe au XXIe siecle. Pour sa these sur Charles Peguy, il a recu en 2015 le prix Henri Hertz, decerne par la Chancellerie des universites de Paris. Il est actuellement attache temporaire de recherche au College de France aupres de la Chaire de litterature francaise moderne et contemporaine. English summary: To modern readers, Peguy's struggles seem quite contradictory, just as they often did to his contemporaries. This pro-Dreyfus and anarchistic socialist became a virulent patriot, and later a singular Christian proponent of "profundities," who internally combined universes which seem to be highly incompatible. Rather than compare these diverse beliefs, or recklessly conclude that reconciling them is an easy task, it is much more fruitful to point out that it is the same single contradiction - individualism vs. socialism - that can be found throughout his work: solitude vs. social commitment, "mystical" withdrawal vs. "political" engagement - terms which he handles in a unique and often interchangeable way, and which imbue this unclassifiable work with all of its wit and timeliness.
