approbation des pairs (net) : +4écrit Explication : 'writ' is an archaic form of the past participle of 'to write' = 'written', mainly used in poetic or literary contexts, or certain more or less 'set expressions', as here: "writ large", which basically means 'written in big letters' — i.e. plainly, with emphasis, etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2009-11-17 14:45:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here, if I understand the quotation correctly, it probably means 'written on a large / grand scale': 'culture' is a manifestation of 'personality' on a larger scale. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2009-11-17 14:47:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's an extract from Robert + Collins: literary writ large = [very obvious] en toutes lettres (figurative use) = [exaggerated] poussé à l'extrême |
