Montherlant's Aesthetics
View through CrossRef
THE PLAYS OF HENRY DE MONTHERLANT stem from an aesthetic that can often seem a bit uncongenial to less hardy souls. He is ferocious, and his artistic principles often seem a little puzzling to people who are less austere. How then does Montherlant think of his artistic output? How does he deal with the raw materials-the characters, the themes, the style? The way he shapes these will suggest the effect he wants to make on his audience. His relation to his audience is a peculiar one, deriving, from the concepts of renoncement, alternance, and the neant sublime. In fact, his plays seem to be designed to enable his spectators to experience many of the feelings he himself moves through.
