| Publisher Description: Very Woman (SIXTINE) A Cerebral Novel by Remy De Gourmont Translated From The French by J. L. Barrets Remy de Gourmont (4 April 1858 - 27 September 1915) was a French Symbolist poet, novelist, and influential critic. He was widely read in his era, and an important influence on Blaise Cendrars and Georges Bataille. The spelling R my de Gourmont is incorrect, albeit common and used by Ezra Pound in translations of his work. His poetic works include Litanies de la Rose (1892), Les Saintes du Paradis (1898), and Divertissements (1912). His anthology Hieroglyphes (1894), contains his experiments with the possibilities of sound and rhythm. plunge from perhaps ironic piety to equally ironic blasphemy; they reflect, more than anything else, his interest in medieval Latin literature, and his works led to a fad for late Latin literature among authors like Joris-Karl Huysmans. He was also a literary critic and essayist of great importance, most notably his Le Probleme du Style. |
