The Language of French Symbolism

by James R. Lawler

Book Overview

The traits that characterize the "language" of French Symbolism are the center of these essays. In interpreting major or previously neglected compositions by Mallarm?, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Claudel, Val?ry, and Apollinaire, the author shows how each of these poets worked with the elements that distinguish this influential group of writers as a whole.
