Puretés et impuretés de la littérature (1860-1940)
Publication type: Collective work
Editors:Alexandre (Didier), Roger (Thierry)
Abstract: Notions of purity and impurity alter depending on the period and the political or literary intentions which are associated with them. What can we make of the literary moment between Romanticism and existentialism when a certain “orthodox narrative” associated modernity with purity and postmodernism with impurity?
