内容説明

"This is a book just the way I don't like them," the father of French Symbolism, Stephane Mallarme, informs the reader in his preface to "Divagations": "scattered and with no architecture". On the heels of this caveat, Mallarme's diverting, discursive, and gorgeously disordered 1897 masterpiece tumbles forth - and proves itself to be just the sort of book his readers like most. This is the salmagundi of prose poems, prose-poetic musings, criticism, and reflections that is "Divagations" has long been considered a treasure trove by students of aesthetics and modern poetry. If Mallarme captured the tone and very feel of fin-de-siecle Paris, he went on to captivate the minds of the greatest writers of the 20th Century - from Valery and Eliot to Paul de Man and Jacques Derrida. This was the only book of prose he published in his lifetime and, in a new translation by Barbara Johnson, is now available for the first time in English as Mallarme arranged it. The result is an entrancing work through which a notoriously difficult-to-translate voice shines in all of its languor and musicality. Whether contemplating the poetry of Tennyson, the possibilities of language, a masturbating priest, or the transporting power of dance, Mallarme remains a fascinating companion - charming, opinionated, and pedantic by turns. As an expression of the Symbolist movement and as a contribution to literary studies, "Divagations" is vitally important. But it is also, in Johnson's masterful translation, endlessly mesmerizing.
