Description

Explore how music shaped French symbolist poetry from the 1860s to the 1930s in this scholarly study by Joseph Acquisto. This book examines the profound influence music exercised on poets including Baudelaire, Mallarme, Ghil, and Royere as they redefined the lyric and challenged conventional poetic boundaries. Rather than simply analysing musicality in verse, Acquisto investigates music as a provocative 'other' that symbolist poets used to develop entirely new aesthetic frameworks. The study traces how these poets engaged with intertextual and cultural contexts to question the very nature and function of lyric poetry. This research reveals why music gradually receded from early twentieth-century poetic discourse, offering essential insights into a pivotal period of French literary modernism. Essential for scholars, students, and readers interested in the intersection of music and literature during the symbolist era.

Key Features

Joseph Acquisto examines four major French symbolist poets-Baudelaire, Mallarme, Ghil, and Royere-and their complex relationships with musical ideas.

This Routledge publication explores music as a cultural and intertextual force that fundamentally shaped new poetic aesthetics across six decades.

The study investigates why music gradually disappeared from early twentieth-century poetic discourse, revealing crucial shifts in literary modernism.

Acquisto analyses how symbolist poets used music to question and redefine the fundamental nature and function of the lyric form itself.
