While he laments the loss of traditional authority, Barbey’s early essays on dandyism and counter-revolutionary thought acknowledge the impossibility of political and religious restoration. His novels attempt to compensate for this by stimulating what remains of the past in the imagination of his readers. Some episodes from L’Ensorcelée and Les Diaboliques highlight how Barbey strives to foster the specter of what has been lost in the heart of those who have been defeated by history. (In French)

Barbey d'Aurevilly et le redoublement de la perte

尽管他对传统权威的丧失感到遗憾，但巴贝（Barbey）早期关于编舞和反革命思想的文章承认，不可能进行政治和宗教复兴。他的小说试图通过激发读者的想象力来弥补过去的不足。L'Ensorcelée和Les Diaboliques的一些情节凸显了Barbey如何努力培养对那些被历史击败的人心中所失去的事物的幽灵。（法文）
