Abstract
In Les Tragiques, Agrippa d’Aubigné writes against the King at a time when royal authority has been re-established. In order to legitimize himself in the name of the Absolute, he must then situate himself outside the social space, and adopt an aesthetic of violence and provocation. Thereby, he affirms the freedom of poetry, condoning it by the violence of the enthusiasm, and opposing it to the political compromise, which he judges deleterious.
