Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the life and work of celebrated poet Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, whose life imitated the rich history of his aristocratic lineage. The author, a close acquaintance and admirer of Villiers, positions the poet within the broader context of French literature and the cultural turmoil of the 19th century. He examines Villiers's preoccupation with the 'restitution of the woman', through his creation of female characters who embodied his vision of an omniscient and divine feminine. The author dissects Villiers's struggle to reconcile his faith with his attraction to Hegelian philosophy, highlighting the unique blend of Christian mysticism and philosophical inquiry that characterized his work. The book explores the depth of Villiers's despair and the torment he endured as a misunderstood genius in his time. Through detailed analysis of Villiers's writings and personal life, the book offers a profound understanding of his tortured psyche, his profound influence on French literature, and the enduring legacy of his work.
