This thesis presents our study of Jacques Ferron's work on quotation. Jacques Ferron's goal was to let "history live as a novel". This analysis is based on three little stories (historiettes): "De Loudun a Ville-Marie", "Saint Tartuffe" and "La prise Parmanda". / We have divided the work into two complementary objectives. Firstly, to find the sources Ferron quoted in order to put them against the three little stories he has written. The reader can therefore observe the different types of modifications the writer has operated in his sources. / The second objective of our research is a detailed analysis of the most important "deviation" cases: the counterfeiting and the copying; two procedures that permit Ferron to erase the first occurrence of a quotation. / Our goal is not to accuse Ferron of plagiarism which is of no interest due to the fact that we are not analysing the writings of a historian, but those of a writer. We do however, want to emphasize the importance of "intertextuality" in Ferron's inspiration and composition of three little stories.
