Abstract EN:
In the beginning of the 19th century, with the development of the press, literary and drama criticism was taking on ever greater importance in france. But censorship was becoming overbearing and critics had to adapt. Regulated by the civil code, the universe of women maintened a low profile; in order to survive, french press for women was forced to conform to the times. Literary criticism and women's press, subjected to a political and cultural context, opted for one of two tactics: either they submitted to and supported the ideologies of the day or they rebelled and in so doing, threatened their very existence. Could these observations offer an explanation for the strange blackout that seems to enshroud women's press which in turn affected literary and drama criticism over the first 30 years of the 19th century?
Abstract FR:
Au debut du 19e siecle, avec le developpement de la presse, la critique litteraire et dramatique occupe une place de plus en plus importante en france. Mais la censure devient pesante et la critique doit s'adapter. Regi par le code civil, l'univers des femmes s'amoindrit et la presse feminine pour subsister, est obligee de se couler dans l'air du temps. Critique litteraire et presse feminine, soumises a un contexte politiqu et culturel, adoptent alors deux tactiques : soit elles se soumettent et soutiennent les ideologies contemporaines, soit elles se rebellent et disparaissent. Est-ce que ces constatations n'expliqueraient pas l'etrange occultation qui semble envelopper la presse feminine et, a travers elle, la critique litteraire et dramatique, pendant ces trente premieres annees du 19e siecle?
