Abstract

[fre] Résumé La politique hégémonique de Louis XIV suscita une vaste littérature anti-française à travers le Saint Empire, dont une partie fut rédigée ou traduite en français. Les polémistes outre-Rhin considérèrent l'expansionnisme du Roi-Soleil comme révélateur d'une ambition dominatrice particulièrement constante et virulente excédant de loin le domaine politique ou la seule personnalité du roi. Les tentatives du roi d'asservir les consciences en soumettant la sphère spirituelle à son autorité, ainsi que le lourd passé expansionniste de la France en constituaient les preuves patentes. Cette vision profondément sombre favorisa l'assimilation du monarque français au Sultan ottoman, chef spirituel de l'Islam et maître d'un empire à vocation universelle depuis sa création. [eng] Abstract The foreign policy of Louis XIV meets with a strong literary opposition, a part of which was wrote or translated in French. German polemists regard the french expansionism as an evidence of a constant ambition which highly exceed the diplomacy or the personality of the king. His attempts to reduce the consciences to slavery and the spiritual field to his autority, and the expansionist past of his country were the obvious proofs of his ambition. This dark vision imposes an assimilation between Louis XIV and the Sultan, spiritual leader of Islam and ruler of an empire calling for the universal domination.
