%0 Journal Article %T La femme et l¡¯ uvre: Robbe-Grillet %A Jos¨¦ Mar¨ªa Fern¨¢ndez Cardo %J £¿¨¦dille : Revista de Estudios Franceses %D 2013 %I Asociaci¨®n de Profesores de Franc¨¦s de la Universidad Espa?ola %X This article deals with recent publica-tions (2012) on Alain Robbe-Grillet¡¯s work: a collection of letters and a biographical piece published by the writer¡¯s widow, Catherine Robbe-Grillet. The article falls within the so-called ¡®poetics of confidence¡¯ studies, and draws particular attention to its impact on the reception of the work, given that this ¡®confidence¡¯ is provided by the writer¡¯s wife, a writer herself. The content of the confidences is subject to some rheto-ric of expression filtered by a number of intertextual relations, which place biographically inspired writings on the border of impossible practices. This is especially so in the case of Robbe-Grillet¡¯s narrative, which is characterized by the successive shift of the referent. %K confidence %K Catherine Robbe-Grillet %K biograghy %K narratology %K intertextuality %K new novel. %U http://cedille.webs.ull.es/9/11fcardo.pdf
