Synopsis

This study examines the rise of the prose poem in France, particularly the work most often cited as the first collection of prose poems: Louis (Aloysius) Bertrand's Gaspard de la Nuit. Specialists in French poetry and general readers will be interested in this book because the author moves from specific analyses of Bertrand's work to broader questions of genre theory and literary history.
