Reviewing the previous scholarship for seventeen of the most
important poems in Alcools, this book provides a detailed analysis
of each work and includes a state-of-the-art survey of current
Apollinaire criticism. Besides acquainting readers with the
existing scholarship, the book considers all the interpretations
that have been proposed and indicates profitable directions to
pursue. Each poem is subjected to a rigorous, line-by-line analysis
that engages in a succession of dialogues with previous critics.
The studies themselves are arranged in roughly chronological order,
beginning with the "Rhenanes" in 1901-1902 and concluding with
"Zone" in 1912. Although each chapter is basically conceived as an
independent unit, readers are able to follow the evolution of
Apollinaire's aesthetics from his first mature creations through
his subsequent experiments with fantastic, hermetic, visionary, and
cubist poetry. At the same time, they witness Apollinaire's
personal evolution from his infatuation with Annie Playden through
a period of deep depression, his love affair with Marie Laurencin,
and the aftermath of that relationship.
