This book offers a comprehensive description of how writers, in
particular poets in nineteenth-century France, became increasingly
aware of the visual element in writing from the point of view both
of content and of the formal organisation of the words in the text.
This interest encouraged writers such as Baudelaire, Mallarme and
Rimbaud to recreate in language some of the vivid, sensual impact
of the graphic or painterly image. This was to be achieved by
organising texts according to aesthetic criteria so that as far as
possible the form of the text as visually perceived would be
closely interrelated to its content as reconstructed through the
reading process. The result of this development was a radical
redefinition of the scope and function of poetry, raising important
general questions about the nature of the relationship between
language and the visual image that are still very much of concern
today.
