Résumé / Abstract : Cette étude se propose de réexaminer la conception de la rêverie chez Jean-Jacques Rousseau, en la replaçant dans l'évolution de la poésie descriptive. La première partie tente de mettre en évidence tant les sources de la rêverie rousseauiste que les caractéristiques de la création littéraire des années 1760-1770, à partir de l'étude génétique des Saisons de Saint-Lambert : une œuvre ne provient pas des méditations solitaires d'un seul auteur, mais des concurrences et des échanges d'idées entre divers philosophes et écrivains ; et le thème du sentiment de l'existence, qui était popluaire parmi les philosophes vers 1750, s'insinue dans le milieu poétique grâce à Saint-Lambert qui avait des relations amicales avec les penseurs sensualistes. S'attachant aux débats philosophiques entre les Encyclopédistes et Rousseau concernant la jouissance et la moralité, la seconde partie examine l'influence de ces débats sur leur création littéraire. Cette démarche nous permet de déterminer le sens philosophique qu'accorde Rousseau à la rêverie. En se penchant sur les passages sur la rêverie dans Les Mois de Roucher la troisième partie essaie de définir l'apport de la rêverie rousseauiste à l'évolution du lyrisme au tournant des Lumières. Cette étude tente ainsi de souligner que l'esprit philosophique qui caractérise le siècle des Lumières n'est pas en opposition avec l'esprit poétique, mais qu'il a apporté une contribution importante à la renaissance du lyrisme à la fin du XVIIIe siècle.

The first part tries to reveal the sources of Rousseau's reverie and the characteristics of the literary creation in the 1760s and 1770s, by the genetic study of The Seasons of Saint-Lambert : a work doesn't come from the solitary meditations of only one author, but from the rivalries and the exchanges of ideas between diverse philosophers and writers ; and the theme of the sentiment of existence, that was popular among the philosophers around 1750, insinuates into the poetical milieu thanks to Saint-Lambert who had amicable relations with the sensualists. Paying attention to the philosophical quarrels between the Encyclopedists and Rousseau concerning to the delight and the morality, the second part examines the influence of these quarrels on their literary creation. This approach enables us to determine the philosophical sense that Rousseau gives to the reverie. Examining the passages on the reverie in The Months of Roucher, the third part tries to define the contribution of the reverie of Rousseau to the evolution of the lyricism in the end of 18th century. In this way, this work attempts to demonstrate that the philosophical mind, which characterizes the Age of the Enlightenment, isn't opposed to the poetical mind, but it brought an important contribution to the renaissance of the lyricism in the end of the 18th century.
