Trade Review
"Published during the centenary year of Mallarmé's death, this collection of carefully thought-out literary and philosophical encounters brings together 10 innovative analyses. It is the process of cultural influence, quite as much as Mallarmé's gloriously present oeuvre and persona that informs the incisive and fascinating contributions." (Modern and Contemporary France, Vol. 7, No. 3, 1999) "Michael Temple is to be congratulated on an interesting project." (Journal of European Studies, March 1999)
