Opis

The first comprehensive study of Mallarme's "poetry of circumstance" in any language, this book is a companion volume to the author's well-received Unfolding Mallarme: The Development of a Poetic Art. It provides a series of lucid and accessible readings of Mallarme's verse and prose writings.

Recenzje

What makes Pearson a stimulating critic as well as enjoyable to read is that his approach sacrifices nothing of the complexity and texture of Mallarmé, nothing of the poetry's ability to surprise and unsettle. Pearson's prose is nuanced, graceful and witty... Mallarmé and Circumstance is a work of intellectual sympathy with a writer for whom poetry alone was able to make sense of a world which "has no intrinsic pattern".
