Abstract EN:
Cette these est consacree a la presentation et a un commentaire des ecrits du baron d'eckstein, publies sous la restauration dans divers revues. Elle montre donc en premier lieu l'originalite d'un personnage qui associe les caracteristiques du journaliste a celles de l'erudit. Une seconde partie souligne l'importance de la double appartenance nationale et culturelle d'eckstein, source de nombreux malentendus, mais aussi moyen pour le critique de transmettre au public francais l'enseignement de son maitre f. Schlegel. La derniere partie traite de la participation d'eckstein aux debats litteraires de son temps : la litterature comme expression de la societe et du genie national, la question de l'imitation, les definitions du romantisme. . . Ses jugements mettent ici encore en valeur la singularite de son point de vue.
