Rythmes Pittoresques by Marie Krysinska
The poems in this book, first published in 1890, present not only a poet searching for a voice, but also a female poet searching for a voice while breaking down rules of both versification and gender-determined source of expression. They went straight to the heart of the male-dominated poetry of the time and effectively threatened its existence.
“Seth Whidden’s flawless edition of Marie Krysinska’s first collection of poetry thus is timely and needed” (Nineteenth-Century French Studies, Volume 33, Nos. 1 & 2, Fall-Winter 2004-2005) “Whidden’s balanced approach to biographical issues prepares his equally careful exposition of Krysinska’s critical reception in her day.” (Nineteenth-Century French Studies, Volume 33, Nos. 1 & 2, Fall-Winter 2004-2005) “This book provides an excellent resource for teaching and independent research …” (Nineteenth-Century French Studies, Volume 33, Nos. 1 & 2, Fall-Winter 2004-2005)
Seth Whidden is Associate Professor of French at Villanova University. His research focuses on nineteenth-century French poetry and contemporary French civilisation. He has published articles and translations on Rimbaud, Verlaine, Krysinska and French hip-hop culture.
