Jules Michelet Libri

Gli storici hanno sempre maltrattato il Michelet di questo capolavoro;sempre i critici letterari lo hanno invece esaltato.Quelli dicono che la sua Strega,la donna della rivolta e del culto notturno,è tutt'al più una generosa invenzione,un simbolo della repressione erotica ottocentesca;questi sono ben lieti di concederlo perchè leggono nelle medesime pagine uno straordinario romanzo,atto di nascita dell'etnografia moderna.La questione sorpassa il libro.Diventa un tema del presente.È lecito separare dalla sua interpretazione simbolica l'intento storico di un'opera,il suo essere-questo-e-quest'altro?E quindi rilevare sue eventuali inadempienze nei confronti delle certezze scientifiche ossia verificabili?Che cosa vuol dire leggere "La strega" come un'opera di letteratura?Qual è il prezzo di una simile riduzione o promozione?
