Abstract
Romanticism would be to literature what 1789 is to politics. This idea, which dates back to Romanticism, has not really been challenged. However, it obliterates twenty years of literary history because the Poetic Meditations were published in 1820. What about the poetry published between 1789 and the rise of Lamartine, Vigny and Hugo? Critics have often noted its artificial, cold and convoluted nature. Yet she is preparing the poetry to come. Poets such as Parny, Léonard or Chénier adopted a rhetoric of prosaic transparency that allowed them to legitimize poetry against the attacks that Reason then made against poetic artifice.File in questo prodotto:
