Symbolist Journals: A Culture of CorrespondencePamela Genova here explores in detail the journals inspired by the Symbolist movement, which she shows to represent a crucial forum for cultural exchange and for multifaceted artistic expression. She focuses on the intellectual concerns, aesthetic significance and interdisciplinary dialogue which lie at the heart of such Symbolist reviews as La Revue Indépendante, Le Décadent, La Revue Blanche and Le Mercure de France. Beginning with an examination of the evolution and development of Symbolist thought and criticism in the second half of the nineteenth century, Genova moves on to discuss the history of the Symbolist journal and its culmination in la guerre des petites revues.The latter chapters of the book centre on the relationship, often antagonistic, between poetry and two additional art forms that preoccupied Symbolist journalism: painting and music. |
