Description

Explore the complex relationship between sound and verse in Joseph Acquisto's study, French Symbolist Poetry and the Idea of Music. Published by Routledge, this work investigates how music shaped a new aesthetic for French poetry from the 1860s through the 1930s. Instead of looking only at musicality within verse, the text examines music as an unassimilable 'other' that poets used to build their own poetics. The study looks at how figures like Baudelaire, Mallarme, Ghil, and Royere questioned the function of the lyric through various cultural and intertextual contexts. Readers will gain insight into why music began to disappear from poetic discourse in the early twentieth century. This book provides a deep look at the shifting ways poets interacted with musical concepts to redefine their craft.
