Aloysius Bertrand''s Gaspard De La Nuit - Beyond the Prose Poem

Zusatztext "It is Baudelaire that dubs himthe pioneer of the prose-poem and out of this well-meaning act springs the genie of subsequent critical depreciation. Gosetti's absorbing and hugely valuable historical recontextualisation of Betrand gives us just the tool we need to do Gaspard altogether better justice." Clive Scott! Journal of European Studies 47 (1)"In her informative and thoroughly researched monograph! Valentina Gosetti contends that developing a fuller understanding of Bertrand's Gaspard de la Nuit is contingent upon a wider appreciation of the historical! social! cultural! and literary contexts in which the collection was produced. [...]This study! which includes an appendix containing four beautiful English translations by Gian Lombardo! is a valuable contribution to the scholarship on Bertrand in the Anglophone world. It will be of great interest to historians and literary scholars of French Romanticism." Catherine Witt!H-France Review Vol. 17 (June 2017)! No. 89 "Gosetti's book richly deserves to achieve its aim of encouraging readers to pick up Bertrand! but it also offers an enormously rewarding read for anyone interested more generally in prose poetry! provincial literature! and the role of the fantastic in nineteenth century France."Fiona Cox!
