This glossary, published in 1888, is the only work of its kind
produced by Decadent and Symbolist writers themselves, and is full
of 'definitions' as mystifying as the words they claim to define.
It offers both a scholarly and a humorous examination of linguistic
innovation and succeeds in showing how literary language remains
subtler and more alive than any of the instruments designed to
explain it. A parody of a glossary as much as a glossary proper,
and produced as a response to critical accusations of obscurity and
preciosity, it assembles an extraordinary array of evocative,
hermetic, and often bizarre examples of Symbolist and Decadent
writing, including luminaries such as Mallarme, Rimbaud, Laforgue
and Verlaine as well as such writers as Feneon, Moreas and Rene
Ghil.This is a volume in the series Textes litteraries/Exeter
French Texts. The text, intorudction and essential notes are all in
French.
