Egbert Forsten, Groningen, 1990. 166p. Paperback. ?Depuis 1986, Groningen est devenu un lieu de rencontre pour les spécialistes du roman antique. Les colloques bi-annuels qui s?y déroulent donnent lieu à des publications de qualité. en voici le troisième tome, qui comprend neuf études. Quatre d?entre elles portent sur des sujets singuliers (?). Sur les cinq autres articles, deux traitent d?Apurée et trois de l??Historia Apollonii regis Tyri? L?on sait que cette dernière oeuvre est au centre d?un débat souvent très vif et qui concerne la version originelle du texte latin que nous avons conservé. N. Holzberg met en valeur les analogies entre les aventures du roi à Cyrène et le séjour d?Ulysse chez les Phéaciens. Il souligne que le roman et l?' Odyssée? racontent tous deux l?histoire d?un héros qui surmonte, grâce à son intelligence, les épreuves qu?il subit et finit par revenir chez lui pour se venger de ses ennemis. Dans cette perspective, il s?interroge sur deux fragments (?) et se demande s?ils n?appartiennent pas à l?original grec du roman où l?on trouvait une reine jouant un rôle analogue à celui d?Arété chez Homère. Il ouvre la voie à la reconstitution hypothétique de cet original à partir d?une étude des ses sources littéraires probables au rang desquelles il fait figurer Homère, mais aussi la comédie et la tragédie. G.A.A. Kortekaas tient lui aussi pour un archétype grec. Il présente ici les adaptations latines de l??Historia? au Moyen Age et à la Renaissance, en montrant qu?il s?agit d?une littérature difficile à définir, mais dont la complexibilité et les métamorphoses ne sauraient être ignorées des futurs commentateurs de la version antique. (?) E. Archibald l?analyse et rejoint la conclusion de Kortekaas: l?' Historia défie toute classification, mais elle offre un schéma narratif fort et qui se prête aus traitement les plus divers où l??équilibre entre le romanesque et l?édifiant peut connaître toutes sortes de variations. (?) Aucun des auteurs de ce volume ne la conçoit comme telle. Chacun l?installe, au contraire, au centre de sa recherche et en souligne le caractère primordial et l?originalité. Chaque étude est accompagnée d?une annotation copieuse et d?une bibliographie abondante. La valeur scientifique de cet ouvrage s?en trouve encore accrue.?

Egbert Forsten, Groningen, 1988. 172p. Paperback. ?This collection consists of nine papers on the ancient novel and its ?Nachleben? from the 1986 colloquia at Groningen. (?) In many respects this little volume concerns itself with ambiguity: all touch on reader reaction in some way, many on reaction to that most tantalizing of texts, the ?Metamorphoses? While little emerges that is new, there is much responsible reformulation and incentive to further discussion. (?) The collection is attractively produces, and often conspicuously well documented. It offers an ambitious and enjoyable series of explorations to mark a new phase in the Groningen project?s work.? (GRAHAM ANDERSON in The Classical Review (New Series), 1990, pp.496-97).…
