The Poetry of Hugo von Hofmannsthal and French Symbolism by Robert Vilain
This study suggests that Hugo von Hofmannsthal's early interest in the works of the French Symbolists had an inhibiting effect on his own poetry and contributed to the famous Chandos crisis in 1902.
By the end of this fine book we have been privileged to explore Hofmannsthal's hesitancies and triumphs, seen him both as a child of his time and a frequently agonized seeker after his own identityWe have also been conducted down fascinating by-lanes to re-assess the poet's forebears and contemporaries with the most illuminating results. We have been compelled also to re-interpret any preconceptions we may have had about the 'symbolist' movement * Journal of European Studies *
