Poésie Et Poétique en France, 1830-1890


Book Description

Dans ce recueil d'études sur la poésie française du dix-neuvième siècle, réunies pour honorer le professeur Eileen Souffrin-Le Breton, des chercheurs spécialistes portent un regard nouveau sur divers poètes romantiques, parnassiens et symbolistes. L'ensemble met en valeur les nombreux liens entre les grands noms du canon et les poètes marginalisés, les grands et les petits romantiques, les Parnassiens et les symbolistes, dans leur recherche de la modernité à travers l'exploration dynamique et concentrée des formes et de la matière poétiques. Dans ces études, les noms de Musset, Baudelaire, Gautier et Mallarmé côtoient ceux de Quinet, Borel, Banville et Heredia. Cet ouvrage met en évidence, au-delà des étiquettes d'école et des consécrations littéraires, la grande diversité des approches de la définition d'une poétique moderne.

Leaving Parnassus


Book Description

Leaving Parnassus: The Lyric Subject in Verlaine and Rimbaud considers how the crisis of the lyric subject in the middle of the nineteenth century in France is a direct response to the aesthetic principles of Parnassian poetry, which dominated the second half of the century much more than critics often think. The poets considered here rebel against the strict confines of traditional and contemporary poetry and attempt to create radically new discursive practices. Specifically, the close readings of poems apply recent studies of subjectivity in poetry and focus on the works of Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud to see how each subverts the dominant tradition of French poetry in a unique way. Whereas previous studies considered isolated aspects of each poet's lyric subject, Leaving Parnassus shows that the situation of the lyric is a source of subversion throughout the poets' entire work, and as such it is crucial to our full understanding of their respective innovations.
