Between 1902 and 1925, the existence of the Gidean character was plural: moral, founded on the notion of character; symbolic, because it asked the reader to articulate the particular and the general; temporal, finally, in relation to a trajectory which could be the object of a moral judgement.

Anne-Sophie Angelo is a normalian, the holder of an agregation in classical literature, and a doctor of French literature. Her research focuses on the link between the writing of the Gidean character and ethical reflection, that of the author and that of the reader. She analyses the moral, symbolical, and temporal dimension of his characters’ existence, and the articulation between Gidean poetics, the imaginary of an epoch, and their possible reception.
