Destinée aux candidats préparant l'agrégation d'anglais, une étude du roman Les ailes de la colombe de H. James, paru en 1902. Les 38 chapitres répartis en dix livres qui composent l'histoire sont présentés de façon chronologique. ©Electre 2025
In reading TheWings (of the love (1902), Henry James will be our guide, by way of the indications found in The Notebooks from 1894-1895, when he began to reflect on tbe novel's seminal motif, to the 1909 preface to The New York Edition. If the commentary also acknowledges the importance of Susan Sontag's essay « Illness as Metaphor » (1978), analysed here along with the novel's biblical and Victorian motif of the dove, the intention is to warn against the imprisonment of the heroine within any metaphorical cage. Milly Theale is not, in her self or for her self, a dove. Having established a procedure for reading the novel by way ol the writings of Henry James, before and after the work, the commentary examines all thirty-eight chapters of the ten books. TheWings cf the love can thus be apprehended as a « stupendous » work, complex in its plotting, awfully simple in its implacable depiction of the fates of its three young protagonists.
