Abstract

This thesis is intended as a reading of the Poesies of Isidore Ducasse within the discursive context of Second Empire poetics and, beyond that context, in the writings of post-Ducassians (from Decadents and Surrealists to Telquelists, Situationists and New Plagiarists). It also presents previously unknown sources to the text and to Ducasse's better known work, the Chants de Haldoror (with particular reference to texts by Lamartine, Alfred de Musset, Gautier, Baudelaire and Sully Prudhomme). In the process I discuss the theoretical premises of source-attribution, referring to the theories of intertextuality and influence specifically associated with Riffaterre and Bloom.
