Gabrielle Roy kept up, throughout her literary life, a regular correspondence with relatives, friends, business relations and readers: to date, more than 2000 letters have been preserved in different archive collections. The 482 letters she wrote to her husband, Doctor Marcel Carbotte, between 1947 and 1979, form the largest subset of the correspondence; a critical edition of these hitherto unpublished letters is presented in the second part of the thesis. / Surprisingly, the correspondence contains few reflexions of an aesthetic nature, and few explicit traces of the novelist's published work, apart from occasional references to the texts she is working on at the moment she is writing to Marcel. Instead, it is the details of her day-to-day life that Roy describes most abundantly. In the first part of the thesis, we study the letters to Marcel in the light of a possible connection with Roy's canonical work: we start by examining the link between the letter and autobiographical genre; we then show that the letters to Marcel can be read as a personal diary; finally, we suggest that the "autobiographical turn" taken by Roy in both her published work and her letters to Marcel indicates that the letters form part of the same system as the autobiographical works.

This thesis analyses the self-portrait visible in the correspondence exchanged between Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir during the Second World War. Particular attention is paid to the period between September 2 nd, 1939 and the end of March, 1940 because that is the time period in which the works of both letter writers are available. / We examine the two principal figures that emerge from the letters of each writer. Sartre appears as both an intellectual and an imperialist; Beauvoir appears as a earthy woman who is also respectful of Sartre. / The thesis is divided in two sections: "Le monologue" and "Le dialogue". In fact, we have discovered that some of the figures, the intellectual and the earthy woman, emerge in a context where the letter writer reacts infrequently to the discourse of the addressee. That is why this section is entitled "Le monologue". In contrast, other figures, the imperialist and the respectful woman, appear in a context where both letter writers react to the image that the addressee projects of himself. That is why this section is named "Le dialogue". In addition, each figure presents a dark side. Therefore, we have studied each of them firstly "in the sun" and secondly "in the shadows". Moreover, our study of this correspondence has permitted us to better identify the general characteristics of the epistolary self-portrait genre.
