More about the book
Set against the backdrop of 1880s Decadence, this collection reinterprets traditional literary tales through a modern lens, showcasing Laforgue's unique talent for parody. As the first comprehensive study of these stories in any language, it highlights their innovative prose and creative depth, positioning Laforgue as a significant figure of the late nineteenth century. While he is often recognized in English literature as an influence on T. S. Eliot, in France, he is celebrated alongside iconic Symbolist writers like Baudelaire and Rimbaud.
