Book Synopsis

Poetics of the Pretext is an original study of the French poet Lautréamont (1846-1870). It analyses closely the texts, pretexts and intertexts of this innovative poet.



Trade Review

The main focus here, . . . Is the Bloomian concept of the anxiety of influence in its six forms. Literary theory is combined with literary history of the period round Poésies in ways which will offer new approaches to the study of intertextuality. In particular, the treatment of the elision in Lautréamont of creativity with plagiarism may offer a way of reading late twentieth-century production of text, including critical theory.

Roland-François Lack…proves himself to be not only a fine sleuth, learned and thorough, but also a clever exegete and theorist.
