Abstract

In the works of Marguerite Yourcenar, the autonomy of the individual is challenged both by modernity, perceived as a standardizing phenomenon, and by the writer’s concern to discover the close links between man and the rest of the cosmos. The role of the individual remains essential, however, insofar as he or she appears to be the sole gateway to the universal, and the mediator par excellence between the fragmented dimension of historical existence and the infinite ontological abyss the author sets out to explore.
