Memoirs occupy a privileged position in the history of French literature. Historians of French memoirs consider the Memoires d’Estat of Chancellor Philippe Hurault de Cheverny to be a stepping stone in the history of self-writing because they seem to mark a transition from self-narratives focusing on the author’s public persona to a self-writing that emphasizes the author’s private life, that is, to something more akin to modern autobiography. Unlike most autobiographical works printed at the time, Cheverny’s memoirs integrate details about the author’s private life and family affairs into the more common first-person chronicle of his public career. A closer examination reveals, however, that multiple practices of self-writing are at work in Cheverny’s book, and that its apparent originality in the history of memoirs and their relation to autobiography more generally are an effect of editorial changes made after the author’s death. The article argues that practices of collective writing and editing of personal documents were common in the early modern age.

Philippe Hurault de Cheverny(1528–99)和早期法国的回忆录的制作

回忆录在法国文学史上享有特权。法国回忆录的历史学家认为《回忆录》Philippe Hurault de Cheverny校长之所以成为自我写作史上的垫脚石,是因为它们似乎标志着从专注于作者公共角色的自我叙述到强调作者私人生活的自我写作的过渡,即更类似于现代自传。与当时印刷的大多数自传作品不同,谢韦尔尼的回忆录将有关作者的私人生活和家庭事务的详细信息整合到了他公共生涯中更为常见的第一人称编年史中。然而,仔细研究发现,在谢韦尔尼的书中,多种多样的自我写作实践正在发挥作用,而且它在回忆录历史上的明显独创性以及它们与自传的关系,更普遍地是作者去世后所做的编辑修改的结果。
