Abstract

The facts first. In 1926, Henry de Montherlant (1895-1972) published The Bullghters, a novel in which the autobiographical element is well attested: like his hero, the author, who returned to the agitatio taurorum in 1923 and 1925, was initiated into bullghting at the age of fifteen or sixteen. And it just so happens that the National Library of France has the manuscript of The Bullghters, the text of which is close to the published one. Our purpose was twofold: first to identify in this voluminous dossier (284 folios) a few features that have remained unpublished, and then to examine the most “eloquent” supports, the backs that teach us a lot about the chronology of the composition and the relationship of the writer with his entourage.
