As joint winner of the Gapper Book Prize, 2021, this new edition of
Susan Harrow's award-winning study of modern French poetry and art
writing offers a bold approach to studying the relationship between
text and image. Exploring key questions such as how modern writers
write colour, and to what extent critical thought on colour in
visual media can illuminate the textual life of colour, Susan
Harrow argues that colour is integral to the exploration of ethics,
ekphrasis, objects, bodies, landscape and interiority in painting
and poetry. The question of colour, in a variety of disciplines and
media, has provoked debate from Aristotle to Goethe, and from
Baudelaire to Derek Jarman. If the past twenty years have witnessed
a 'colour turn' in contemporary cultural studies and screen
research, colour values in literary and textual media are often
elided or, simply, overlooked. Colourworks tackles this lacuna in
the study of modern poetry and art writing in French, revealing the
integral role of colour in the work of three iconic French writers
in the modern tradition: Stephane Mallarme, Paul Valery and Yves
Bonnefoy. This book spans the broad modern period from the 1860s to
the early twenty-first century in taking an exploratory approach to
the visuality of the verbal medium through an adventurous reading
of text and image. Harrow uncovers how colour moves and morphs in
texts as it challenges the traditionalist containments of chromatic
symbolism. Beyond its primary area of investigation in modern
poetry and art writing in French, this richly colour-illustrated
study has significant interdisciplinary implications-conceptual,
methodological, and practical-for the study of visuality in
humanities research, from literature studies to material and visual
culture studies.
