This volume of essays, written by scholars from a wide range of
critical and theoretical viewpoints, presents a fresh approach to
the study of nineteenth-century French poetry. Each of the eleven
essays, on different poets from Lamartine to Mallarme and Laforgue,
focuses on the detailed organisation of a single poem. The method
of close reading has been adopted in order to effect an
introduction to the analysis of the 'basics' of poetic language
(sound, metre, syntax, etc.), and in order to explore and
illustrate some of the claims and arguments about poetry arising
from developments in the prevailing literary theory. Theoretical
positions are posed and tested in the terms of practical analysis
and interpretation. Christopher Prendergast's introduction to the
volume situates the essays in a series of general perspectives and
contexts, and Clive Scott has provided an appendix on French
versification.
