This 1984 book was the first to investigate the full implications
of Paul Valery's interest in the relationship between music and
poetry. The book is more of a survey of all that Valery had to say
on music; it examines in detail the influence of such music upon
his work as a poet. The structure of the book comprises three
distinct phases of argument. In the first part Dr Stimpson details
Valery's contacts with the major developments in twentieth-century
French music, and reveals particularly close relationshops with a
number of outstanding composers and performers. Part II explores
Valery's theoretical consideration of the links between music and
poetry. The third section studies the musical techniques in
Valery's poetry - melody, harmonics, rhythm, musique verbale, and
recitative. This will be an important book for serious students of
Valery's poetry and all those interested in the relationship
between poetry and music.
