Description

Stéphane Mallarmé's poetry has long been associated with modernity's most refined and aristocratic circles. Yet, he became an object of major political significance for French intellectuals, particularly those on the left. This book explores how this seemingly obscure poet rose to prominence among leftist thinkers. Robert Boncardo examines the ambivalent relationship between literature and politics in modernity through a close analysis of Mallarmé's work alongside that of influential philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Julia Kristeva, Alain Badiou, and Jacques Rancière. By situating Mallarmé within the broader philosophical projects of these thinkers, Boncardo sheds light on the complex dynamics between literature and politics in modern France. Through a nuanced exploration of key figures and their ideas, this book offers a fresh perspective on the intersections of literature, philosophy, and politics in early 20th-century France.
