Product Description
In its international and cross-cultural evolution, the modernist movement brought the most notable achievements in the poetry genre. Through their fragmented mode by semantic scrambling, the modernist poems seek to embody an indestructible unity of language and art. In order to elucidate the significance of that "essential" form in capitalistic times, 'A Flowering Word' applies C. S. Peirce's semiotic theory to the principal works of three contemporary writers: Stphane Mallarm's late sonnets, T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets, and the Japanese pre-feminist poet, Yosano Akiko's Tangled Hair. ... Read more

Product Description
Modernist poetry, in its fragmented form, continues to intrigue readers. In this sequel to A Flowering Word (Peter Lang, 2000), Noriko Takeda clarifies the modernist schism’s meaningful role as a productive furnace for both interpretive humanness and its own solid concretization. The discussed main works are Stéphane Mallarmé’s Hérodiade, T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, and shorter poems in foregrounded lyricality by these two writers. ... Read more

Product Description
An examination of the use of names and the art of naming in the works of Stephane Mallarme. Maintaining an independent critical and self-critical approach, the author elaborates a "theory of the name" from within the Mallarmean text, rather than through the application of the external theory. The work provides the reader with new ways of thinking about Mallarme's "development" and about poetry's attempt to break out of an embattled position in the last decades of the 19th century. ...

Product Description
Reflets r?ciproques: A Prismatic Reading of St?phane Mallarm? and H?l?ne Cixous evokes the refractory aspect of a prism that bends and deflects light in order to produce a spectrum of twentieth-century thought emanating from the late nineteenth-century French literary avant-garde. Because the works of Mallarm? and Cixous are often described as hermetic and illisible, Jacques Derrida intervenes to play the role of intermediary through his separate writings on these poets. Important questions arise: How does the elliptical writing of Mallarm? relate to the hyperbolic writing of Cixous? What common strategies emerge and how do these strategies address the critical areas of sexual difference and political testimony for each writer? ... Read more
