‘In this eloquent book, Nikolaj Lübecker provides a fresh way of reading three of the major poets of nineteenth-century France… Lübecker, true to the ecological and non-anthropocentric ethos of the book, stays in the background, letting the texts speak among themselves, and yet he subtly performs operations, like Mallarmé, that trouble our critical certainties.’ Patrick Bray, French Studies
