Paul-Alexis Mellet est professeur à l'Institut d'Histoire de la Réformation à l'Université de Genève. Il est auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur l'époque des guerres de Religion en France, notamment Les Traités Monarchomaques. Confusion des temps, résistance armée et monarchie parfaite (vers 1560-vers 1600) (2007), et Les Remontrances : discours de paix et de justice en temps de guerre. Une autre histoire des guerres de Religion (v. 1557-v. 1603) (2022).

 

Il parlera d'une forme de pamphlet qui rapporte des événements militaires mais aussi des faits divers, les "discours véritables", nouveau genre hybride conjuguant narration, désinformation et information, propagande et témoignage de la providence divine.
