Tristan Corbière and the poetics of irony
Using close textual readings from 'Les Amours jaunes', the only collection published in Corbière's lifetime, this book examines his self-contradictory style. His use of irony is shown to be a means of exploring the doubts of modern man and the spiritual void of commodity culture.
