At the Maison du Protestantisme Poitevin, each cultural season follows a common thread. The one that begins is no exception to this habit. The theme chosen this year is the coexistence between Catholics and Protestants in Deux-Sèvres (1517-1905). The first conference of the year will take place on Sunday, January 26. Given by Éric Kocher-Marboeuf, lecturer in contemporary history, she is entitled “Ernest Pérochon: the black hussar and the cross. The metapolitics of religious dissensions, a source of romantic inspiration ”.
From the hollows of the house published in 1913 to the singer of Villanelles, published in 1943 after the death of Ernest Pérochon, most of the romantic works written by the author generally make their narrative realism rest on character traits, situations Social or events inspired by the wars of religion of the 16th century, the history of the “dissidents” of the small church and the open conflict between Catholics and republican anticlericals of the years of triumphant combism.
Goncourt 1920
In the French literary landscape of the inter-war period, haloed by the title of the winner of the Goncourt Prize won in 1920, Ernest Pérochon made the observer of a rural France in the process of modernization in which the echoes of passions of passions nuns of the past are turned into generational cleavages within families and ideological and political oppositions of a new genre.
