Mallarme's impact has been too great to remain within the confines
of French-language culture, or indeed literary studies. While much
of the first century of Mallarme's posthumous glory has been spent
looking at his ideas on language as a key to his difficult oeuvre,
something far more fundamental to his originality has been brushed
over: his ideas in language. Contained within that shift of
preposition is Mallarme's unique way of handling concepts. This
book is about the sheer improbability of Mallarme's joint concern
with concepts, or ideas, on the one hand, and with language as it
behaves within the constraints of poetic convention on the other.
While the emphasis is on Mallarme as a handler of concepts, this is
not primarily a study of Mallarme's philosophical ideas, still less
of philosophical influences that bore on him. Its real theme is
Mallarme's discovery that in order to do something with concepts he
must do something to language.
