Not unproblematically Romantic, Parnassian, or Symbolist – but engaged with or anticipating many of the concerns of these literary currents – Nerval was an important influence on later poets and writers, including Stéphane Mallarmé, Marcel Proust, André Breton, and T.S. Eliot. Yet Nerval is less well known, at least in the English-speaking world, for the substance of his writing than for his role as a character in apocryphal tales. This book is a reappraisal of Nerval’s writings, focusing on his correspondence, his engagement with the press, and his travel writings. Nerval’s enigmatic comments on political figures and events provide points of departure for a deeper investigation of the subtle ways in which his poetics is political, exploring how his activities as a writer intersect with the dynamics of mid-nineteenth-century politics and society.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2027-08-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032259837\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47729786880140,"sku":"9783032259837","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032259837.jpg?v=1777996817","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032259837","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
