%X Dossier/Issue: 4 - Mises en oeuvre de la relation biographique. Fronti¨¨res et m¨¦diations - This paper endeavours to consider the relationship between the biographer and the writer-biographee as a form of reparation for an injustice committed toward the latter and his/her entourage. I will examine three examples of biographical works¡ªAlabama Song by Gilles Leroy on Zelda Fitzgerald, La vocation du bonheur by Karin Reschke on Henriette Vogel and Lord Byron¡¯s Doctor by Paul West on John Polidori¡ªin which the aim is to redress an undeservedly overlooked detail, an intentional oversight or a fundamentally mistaken assessment of the subject. In so doing, I will attempt to delimit the challenges of the biographical endeavour that seeks, from a distance, to rehabilitate historical figures as much as to denounce the forces that have marginalised them, in particular in the biographies of the so-called ¡°heroes¡± of literary history. - Cet article vise ¨¤ aborder la relation biographique comme r¨¦mun¨¦ration d¡¯une   injustice   commise ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦gard de l¡¯¨¦crivain biographi¨¦ ou de son entourage. ¨¤ travers l¡¯analyse de trois exemples d¡¯¨¦crits biographiques ¡ª Alabama Song de Gilles Leroy sur Zelda Fitzgerald, La vocation du bonheur de Karin Reschke sur Henriette Vogel et Le m¨¦decin de Lord Byron de Paul West sur John Polidori ¡ª o¨´ il s¡¯agit de r¨¦parer un oubli non m¨¦rit¨¦, une occultation volontaire ou encore une m¨¦prise fondamentale, je tenterai de cerner les enjeux d¡¯une entreprise qui, ¨¤ distance, vise ¨¤ r¨¦habiliter des figures historiques tout autant qu¡¯¨¤ s¡¯inscrire en faux contre les forces qui les marginalisent, notamment au sein des biographies des   h¨¦ros   de l¡¯histoire litt¨¦raire.
