Book excerpt: "Cette étude trouve dans les traditions à la fois savantes et politiques associées à la déesse Astrée une invitation à relire l'œuvre d'Honoré d'Urfé à la lumière de la pastorale et de l'épopée virgiliennes. Pourtant, refusant l'absolutisme naissant d'Henry IV, d'Urfé encouragea ses lecteurs à oublier la déesse et l'épopée bourbonienne qu'il avait lui même esquissée. Il réussit ainsi à libérer le monde pastoral de sa dépendance vis-à-vis de l'humanisme et de l'absolutisme, offrant au public du dix-septième siècle un mythe fertile d'autonomie personnelle et littéraire."--
