| Summary: | This paper, which focuses on the Flaubert's correspondence, aims to investigate the author's role in the 19th century media ecosystem. While Flaubert’s financial security exempted him from the daily publications that contemporary writers-journalists had to produce, it did not necessarily means disinterest. Indeed, over the letters, the author - who claims not to be concerned by the press and displays a pronounced disgust for its mechanisms - advises his friends (Bouilhet, Colet ...) to submit their articles to newspapers. Moreover, he uses his influence to advertise or to bring his proteges in the editorial staff. The hypothesis of this paper is that this posture of the “media out-of-scope” claimed by the author allows him to comment and to assess a system to which he does not belong and in which he has no interest. However, this indifference seems to have limits, as demonstrated by the author’s tendency to collect articles about his books. |
