In this first complete study of the \u003ci\u003eMoralit s\u003c\/i\u003e in any language, Laforgue's stories emerge as brilliant examples of parody in its most creative form, among the most original prose creations of the late nineteenth century. Laforgue is known to most English-speaking readers as an influence on T. S. Eliot. In France he is considered a major writer, alongside Symbolist writers such as Baudelaire, Rimbaud, and Mallarm . Laforgue's stories fully exploit the creative possibilities of parody, and thus make a particularly illuminating contribution, resolving many long-standing theoretical questions. The stories provide a rich source for investigating the procedures of parody and for formulating a sufficiently general and flexible theory to account for the diversity of its form over time. Hannoosh examines the 1880s notion of Decadence with which Laforgue's \u003ci\u003eMoralit s\u003c\/i\u003e plays and attempts to revise the prevailing view of the movement to reflect the importance of parody therein. She provides close readings of the six stories: \u003ci\u003eHamlet, Le Miracle des Roses, Lohengrin, Salom , Pers e et Androm de, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePan et la Syrinx.\u003c\/i\u003e Using an intertextual model of literary theory, Michele Hannoosh derives a theory of the genre overall and addresses the issues raised by metafictional theories of parody from the Russian Formalists onward. \u003cb\u003eMichele Hannoosh\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of French and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Davis. She has written many articles on nineteenth-century French literature and art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michele Hannoosh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814253236\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ohio State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40696632705139,"sku":"9.78081E+12","price":47.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_1498de94-a2ed-4154-953d-678fcd854861.jpg?v=1675783517","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/parody-and-decadence-laforgues-moralits-lgendaires-9780814253236","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
