Upon his death in 1898, the French Symbolist poet Stephane Mallarme
(b. 1842) left behind a body of published work which though modest
in quantity was to have a seminal influence on subsequent poetry
and aesthetic theory. He also enjoyed an unparalleled reputation
for extending help and encouragement to those who sought him out.
Rosemary Lloyd has produced a fascinating literary biography of the
poet and his period, offering a subtle exploration of the mind and
letters of one of the giants of modern European poetry.Every
Tuesday, from the late 1870s on, Mallarme hosted gatherings that
became famous as the "Mardis" and that were attended by a cross
section of significant writers, artists, thinkers, and musicians in
fin-de-siecle France, England, and Belgium. Through these
gatherings and especially through a voluminous correspondence
eventually collected in eleven volumes Mallarme developed and
recorded his friendships with Paul Valery, Andre Gide, Berthe
Morisot, and many others. Attractively written and scrupulously
documented, Mallarme: The Poet and His Circle is unique in offering
a biographical account of the poet's literary practice and
aesthetics which centers on that correspondence."
