Échos de la Shoah dans l’oeuvre poétique de Jacques Brault, Irving Layton et Leonard Cohen
|
| Abstract |
The author analyzes and compares representations of the Shoah (the Holocaust) in the poetic work of a non-Jewish Francophone Quebec writer, Jacques Brault, and two Montreal Anglo-Quebec writers of Jewish origin, Irving Layton (1912-2006) and Leonard Cohen (b. 1934). Not having witnessed the Jewish genocide in Europe, these writers present it indirectly, evoking a complex relationship between feelings of guilt and brotherhood with the victims. The author's purpose is to demonstrate that a process of distancing themselves from their subjects allows Brault, Layton and Cohen to deal with this theme, which has been surrounded by theoretical prohibitions since Adorno's famous statement: "to write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric."
