Des lignes et des lettres: Essais néoformalistes

Close studies of visual and spatial aspects of 19th- and 20th-century French literary texts, mostly poetry, written by a wide range of authors, including Victor Hugo, Théophile Gautier, Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud, Stéphane Mallarmé, Marie Krysinska, Antonin Artaud and André Breton. Written in French, this book will examine instances of concrete poetry as well as a host of other questions pertaining to the way a text points to specific meanings from both within its own semantic and thematic structure and from the world beyond. Also treated are text/image relations between painting, sculpture and literature.
