    Summary note
    "The Thing of Waterloo" : the expression invented by Victor Hugo says well the difficulty of qualifying the battle of June 18, 1815. What has become as its incessant evocations for two hundred years in the most diverse texts (history books, memoirs, novel, poetry, theater)? The book wants to understand the springs of this prolonged incantation which, by dint of narration always the same events, at the same time clarifies and blurs the memory. The question is approached through the study of the most famous literary representations of the battle (Stendhal, Hugo), but also of much rarer texts. Victor Hugo's phrase "The Thing of Waterloo"What are the various ways in which a variety of texts (history books, memoirs, novels, poetry, plays) have tried to evoke this event? This book tries to understand the mechanisms of this phenomenon which, by telling the same events over and over, makes them more precise and clear at the same time. The question is approached through the study of some of the most famous literary representations of the battle (Stendhal, Hugo), but also through less well-known texts.
