Description

It is the reading world's good fortune that Stephane Mallarme's letters survived, allowing later generations an intimate look at the inner life of one of Europe's most important poets.

Mallarme (1842-98), often called the father of the Symbolists, has had an immense influence on the development of modern European poetry.

It was his ambition to create a poetry pure of quotidian reality autonomous, concentrated, linguistically inventive.

His correspondence documents the evolution of this aim, the crafting of a poetics out of a life inescapably "real" in its pains and charms."
