The extreme is an essential aspect of contemporary experience. Thrill-seekers spend the
weekend in the search of the adrenaline rush of “extreme sports”. In the political arena, the world
has begun to rediscover the split between the “extreme” left and the “extreme” right. Through
24-hour rolling news, images of violence, torture and war are televised unremittingly into the
living room; while the Internet places hardcore pornography, snuff film and cannibalism within
easy reach of anyone with a personal computer or a smartphone. The “extreme” has even
become a quality companies seek to associate with the most banal of commodities such as ice
cream and hair gel. These different manifestations of extremity suggest a contradictory, even
paradoxical, relationship with the “extreme”.
The contributors to this book explore how writing in French, from the Middle Ages to the
present day, has interrogated extremity. Taken together, these essays demonstrate that the
quality of the extreme can be applied to a great number of texts for different reasons and from
myriad perspectives. Moreover, the extreme is revealed as a quality both distinct from, and in
tension with, the crossing of boundaries associated with transgression. It is a movement towards
and away from a centre of radiation that escapes cultural norms without necessarily reinforcing
them. This sensation of rushing and wandering outside the boundaries of what is considered safe
and normal provides the extreme with its adrenaline-charged response of excitement or horror.
The analyses contained in this volume consider a number of manifestations of the “extreme
littéraire”. The ambiguities of gender in medieval romance are explored in the context of the
Arthurian court. The 19th century is examined through the prose poems of Baudelaire and the
littérature sauvage of the Zutistes. The difficulties of writing the trauma of war and genocide in
the 20th century are discussed through the work of Jorges Semprun and Agota Kristof. The
contemporary extreme in French literature is examined in the autofiction of Christine Angot, the
work of Annie Ernaux and Catherine Millet, the controversial novels of Michel Houellebecq,
and the worldwide influence of the Marquis de Sade on writing today.
Whilst the “extreme littéraire” may have a wide variety of expressions in French literature, it is
always outside, beyond and far from the centre of our everyday experience. It shocks us, excites
us and horrifies us, often all at once. This book seeks to provide an insight into how and why the
extreme has fascinated, and continues to fascinate, the French literary imagination.
