В статье анализируется казус со скандалом во­круг «Описания путешествия в Англию» Самюэля Сорбьера (1664). Публичная реакция в Англии, в первую очередь «Заме­чания» Томаса Спрэта (1665), дает редкую возможность увидеть читательскую реакцию англичан на то, какой их националь­ная культура предстает в описании иностранца. Анализ пока­зывает, что их негодование было вызвано не столько негатив­ными отзывами, сколько манерой, в которой они были препод­несены. Она интерпретировалась в контексте тех дискурсов и типов текстов, в рамках которых в Англии и Франции 1660-х годов выстраивалась дистанция между обладающим знаниями, искушенным автором и объектом его внимания, а равным обра­зом и читателем. В статье рассмотрены несколько французских литературных конвенций, которыми определялась манера из­ложения, избранная Сорбьером, — салонная литература, сочи­нения либертенов и моралистическая традиция, а также те кон­тексты, в рамках которых написанный подобным образом текст прочитывался его английским критиком, — политическая са­тира, ученая литература и романы. Различия в литературных конвенциях ассоциировались с культурно-национальными, а не личными приоритетами, а потому способствовали конституиро­ванию национальных дискурсов.

This article analyses the case of the scandal around Samuel Sorbiere's Relation d’un voyage en Angleterre (Report of a journey to England), published in 1664. The public reaction in Eng­land, most notably Thomas Sprat's Observations on monsieur de Sorbier's “Voyage into England” (1665), provides a rare opportunity to see the reader's reaction of the English to how their national cul­ture appears in a foreigner's description. The analysis shows that the indignation was caused not by the negative comments them­selves, but by the way in which they were presented. It was inter­preted in the context of discourses and types of texts within which, in England and France in the 1660s, distance was created between the knowledgeable, sophisticated author of the statement and the object of his consideration, and equally so between the author and the reader. This article examines several French literary conven­tions that defined the manner of presentation chosen by Sorb- iere —salon literature, libertine writings and the moralistic tradi­tion — as well as those contexts within which the text written in this way was read by the English critic — political satire, scholar­ly literature and romances. The differences in literary conventions were associated with cultural and national rather than personal priorities, and therefore contributed to the institutionalization of national discourses.
