La publication de la Dissertation sur les causes de l'universalite de la langue francoise de Johann Christoph Schwab (1784), traduction et appendices de Denis Robelot (1803), permet de redecouvrir un ouvrage qui, au-dela de sa richesse linguistique et culturelle, est aussi un document historique. Le texte et sa traduction se rattachent a deux moments decisifs de l'histoire de deux pays voisins : l'Allemagne des annees 1780, qui recherche son identite politique et intellectuelle a l'ombre de la France de Louis XIV et de Voltaire, et la France d'entre deux siecles, convalescente mais avide de se retablir et de retrouver la grandeur d'un passe legendaire. A la difference de ce que croit la tradition, c'etait l'ouvrage de Schwab, et non celui d'Antoine de Rivarol, qui, initialement, a ete prime par le jury du concours de l'Academie des Sciences et des Belles-Lettres de Berlin (1782/1784). En outre, malgre son estime pour la France, Schwab a prevu et explique d'avance le triomphe de la langue anglaise que l'on connait aujourd'hui. L'ample etude de Freeman Henry qui precede les textes est une mise au point qui permet au lecteur d'interpreter evenements et concepts a la lumiere des valeurs politico-culturelles d'une epoque cruciale.
