Résumé
Marie-Thérèse Bouyssy : Barère's infernal antiquity. Barère, a great orator but eminent revolutionary who refused to judge the present and anticipate the future in terms of the past, referred very little to classical Antiquity in his speeches. In the Constituent Assembly the Ancients presided over the process of abandoning the past, while in the Convention, they became the language of defiance and denial, the infernal outcasts. But when one persecutes one's double, there is no point of return, and thus it was only after 1815, in his Belgian exile, that the "Anacreon of the guillotine", who had become Ballanche's "Man without a name", could adopt the timeless confraternity of bookish meditation. Classical antiquity had come into its own.
