Ramuz as a Peasant, Patriot, and Hero: Building a Myth
Pétermann, Stéphane
Ramuz as a Peasant, Patriot, and Hero: Building a Myth - 2007.
64
The Swiss writer Charles Ferdinand Ramuz dies in 1947. In “Suisse romande”, he soon becomes a myth, that of a national writer expressing the identity of his country. Based on the conception of literature as the product of a region’s identity, this elaboration finds its material in the works of Ramuz as well as in the image left by the writer himself in his autobiographical texts and his “ Journal”. This article examines the mechanisms of this elaboration, and tries to understand both its consequences on the reception of his work and its collective implications.
