Nous présentons ici une chicane entre deux curés de paroisses voisines pour la possession d’un petit territoire limitrophe, le Mouillepied. Ce fait se déroula dans le premier quart du XVIIIe siècle dans les paroisses de Longueuil et de La Prairie. L’évêque de Québec, Mgr de Saint-Vallier, inclut ce territoire dans les provisions des deux curés. Malgré l’avis des habitants, le procureur général Collet suggère qu’on rattache ce territoire à Longueuil. Il n’en faut pas plus pour assister à une levée de boucliers. La contestation est manipulée par Paul-Armand Ulric, curé de La Prairie. À son dire, le curé de Longueuil, le sulpicien Joseph Isambert, est l’instrument du baron de Longueuil qui veut rattacher absolument le Mouillepied à la paroisse de Longueuil. Le tout se termine lorsque le curé Ulric accepte la belle cure de Varennes.

In the 18th century, the Bible felt the full force of criticism by radical Enlightenment thinkers who read it piece by piece and denounced the process of its creation as an imposture – thus extending the break initiated by moral and historical critiques of the previous century. In doing so, they nevertheless failed to grant it the literary status of a “profane work”. Yet, Rousseau, who produced a literary rewriting of the Book of Judges with his Levite of Ephraim, pondered over the violence inflicted on biblical intertextuality during his exile in Môtiers: in his Letters Written from the Mountain, he compared it to the violence caused to his own literary works. By draw-ing this parallel, he opened a reflection on the different manners of reading a text, as well as the possibility of regulating the reader’s violence through proposing an ethics of literary reception. Analogy might not work as a substitute; however, it enabled Rousseau to go beyond the mistreatment which anti-philosophers or philosophers inflicted on his works, by giving, among other things, an autobiographical orienta-tion to his writing: one in which the author is ready to take responsibility for giving himself to the reader. The ambivalence of the sacred and the profane, the perception of a common essence of religion – defined either by sacrifice or gift – were thus what helped Rousseau invent the autobiographical pact.

In the 18th century, the paintings of Greuze had much success. The literature took against these paintings. It transposed them in narrative texts. Diderot and Aubert, described paintings of Greuze by using the literary kind of the moral tale. Thus, they respected moral spirit of the painting of Greuze. But when paintings of Greuze were transposed in the novels, this moral spirit had been perverted : the novels respected stating of Greuze, but they used it to produce a different statement.
