This article attempts to deepen our understanding of André Belleau's ideas about essays through a detailed reading of three texts: “Approches et situation de l'essai québécois”, “Petite essayistique” and “La passion de l'essai”. The author studies both Belleau's conception of the essay and the arguments he uses to define it. Adopting a prospective approach, he analyzes Belleau's most frequently cited hypotheses (associated with narrativity and the ideal universe), while looking for relevant elements that might have escaped critics' notice. He seeks to gain a better understanding of Belleau's manner, which consists, among other things, in reformulating the thought of certain authors (especially Barthes); this leads him to embody the world of ideas in a series of original expressions. The article concludes by opening onto other interesting propositions put forward by Belleau that do not seem to have been taken up in works on the essay.
