Gapper Book Prize.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow do the writings of Verlaine, Baudelaire, and Mallarm? speak to our time? Why should we continue to read these poets today? How might a contemporary reading of their poetry differ from readings delivered in previous centuries? \u003cem\u003eTwenty-First-Century Symbolism\u003c\/em\u003e argues that Verlaine, Baudelaire, and Mallarm? prefigure a view of human subjectivity that is appropriate for our times: we cannot be separated from the worlds in which we live and evolve; human beings both mediate and are mediations of the environments we traverse and that traverse us, whether these are natural, urban, linguistic, or technological environments. The ambition of the book is therefore twofold: on the one hand, it aims to offer new readings of the three poets, demonstrating their continued relevance for contemporary debates, putting them into dialogue with a philosophical corpus that has not yet played a role in the study of nineteenth century French poetry; on the other, the book relies on the three poets to establish an understanding of human subjectivity that is in tune with our twenty-first century concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nikolaj L?becker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Contemporary French and Francophone Cultures #83\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781835537329","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43784581447817,"sku":"9781835537329","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_66a5cdb8-6656-4fb5-91cd-0d492a903ba8.jpg?v=1742274760","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/twenty-first-century-symbolism-verlaine-baudelaire-mallarm-9781835537329","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
