Cet article examine les pages de garde contenues dans des reliures cartonnées et brochées de cinq textes du dix-huitième siècle français. Ces spécimens démontrent qu'il y des livres qui se doivent d'être conservés intacts comme artéfacts, étant donné que leurs feuillets jaunis par le temps peuvent fournir des indices sur le lieu et l'époque où ils ont été reliés, produits et diffusés, voire même donner un aperçu sur l'exercice de la censure. Il en va de même pour le travail de reliure le plus routinier pratiqué sur des ouvrages anciens, lequel peut faciliter notre compréhension des opérations commerciales jadis en vigueur. Le premier spécimen à l'étude est l'Histoire critique de la philosophie de Deslandes publiée par Jean Nourse à Londres en 1742. La typographie indique toutefois que l'ouvrage fut imprimé en Hollande. Même si ce livre fut frappé d'interdiction par le gouvernement français, les pages de garde donnent à penser qu'il fut relié en France. Le deuxième exemple est un pamphlet politique clandestin intitulé Influence du despotisme de l'Angleterre [1781] imprimé probablement à Neuchâtel et Besançon. La page de garde placée à la fin du livre est une page de titre de l'édition de 1779 ou 1780 de La Boussole imprimée par le même imprimeur de Besançon, ce qui suppose que la reliure fut fabriquée à cet endroit. Le troisième ouvrage est une traduction du Tableau de l'Angleterre et de l'Italie par Archenholtz et publiée à Strasbourg en 1788. Si l'on se fie à des événements survenus en septembre 1793 et rapportés par des journaux français de l'époque, la datation des pages de garde coïncide avec une période trouble de l'histoire politique et économique du pays, ce qui explique en partie la mauvaise qualité de la reliure. Le quatrième texte est l'Analyse des ouvrages de J.J. Rousseau publiée par la Veuve Duchesne à Paris en 1785. Comme l'ouvrage comporte un feuillet tiré d'un roman raté d'un dénommé Monvel publié par Duchesne une décennie plus tôt, on peut présumer que la reliure fut réalisée à Paris. Enfin le cinquième spécimen et non le moins intéressant est un pamphlet royaliste daté de 1789. La page de garde se trouvant à la fin du livre consiste en un feuillet tiré de la première édition in-octavo des Mémoires de Saint-Simon publiés par Buisson en octobre 1788. Si l'on compare cet exemple avec une édition in-douze de Buisson (1788), il appert que le censeur fit plus de coupures dans l'in-octavo que dans le format plus petit. La reliure fut sans doute réalisée à Paris au début de l'année 1789. Les feuillets supprimés auraient été probablement vendus à un cartonnier comme c'était l'usage à l'époque mais, dans ce cas-ci, ils furent utilisés par un relieur de manière que le texte censuré soit aisément lisible.

From Renaissance collections to nineteenth-century print exhibitions, the "museumification" of literature calls for a redefinition of the traditional relationship between literature and books. Based on a sample of literary exhibitions in museums, this article examines the issues they bring to the fore on a period that extends from the end of the nineteenth century to today. It adopts a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the theoretical and practical underpinnings of the concomitant museumification of literature and books by observing the tensions that it creates on an institutional scale, both between libraries and museums and within certain literary paradigms (genres, "classics," etc.). This article thus explores the motivations that might explain the seemingly central place of the book in the literary exhibition as opposed to a multitude of objects a priori more spectacular. In this sense, the hyper-materiality of literature and its dissociation from the book (on which the very existence of the literary museum is paradoxically based) is the focus of detailed analysis here. The literary exhibition relies on the contextualization of the literary text and, especially in a time of emphasis on digital text, on its place in the history of the book. Museumification today tends to attribute additional value to literature that is on other platforms than paper as a way of adding a spectacular aspect to the exhibition. In this perspective, the contemporary "dematerialization" of the book poses an ultimate question - a question concerning digital literary collections and the use of digital platforms in the added value of literature. By facilitating and broadening the access to heritage, virtual exhibits (one example of the digital platform) offer the double advantage of protecting fragile collections and making their value more durable. They run the risk, however, of neutralizing the "aura" of paper books and the quest for tangible objects, which constitute the main reason for our society's attachment to paper books and the foundation of museums.
