Angels have never been so present as they were during modernity, when the religious was called into question. What meaning can be given to their presence? This study focuses on the birth of a true modern myth through an overview of literary and artistic occurrences.

Review - French Ce livre part d'un constat simple : l'ange n'a jamais ete aussi present qu'a l'heure de la modernite, alors que le religieux se trouvait remis en question. De quoi fait-il signe ? Quel sens donner a sa presence ? Nous avons tente de mettre au jour les fondements et la genese de ce qui s'affirme comme l'un des mythes les plus importants de notre imaginaire contemporain. Comment ce passage d'une figure biblique a un mythe profane s'est-il opere ? Ces representations de l'ange temoignent-elles de nouveaux rapports au sacre, au divin ? L'etude s'interesse en particulier a deux symboliques majeures, celle de l'ange gardien et celle de l'ange inspirateur. Elle propose un panorama d'oeuvres litteraires et artistiques.
