ParnassianMembers of a French school of poetry of the second half of the 19th century that was headed by Charles-Marie-Rene Leconte de Lisle (1818–94) and Théophile Gautier. The Parnassians stressed restraint, objectivity, technical perfection, and precise description as a reaction against the emotionalism and verbal excess of Romanticism. Their name came from the anthology to which they contributed, Le Parnasse contemporain (1866, 1871, 1876). Their influence was evident in movements such as Modernismo and led to experimentation in metres and verse forms and the revival of the sonnet. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Because firearms and hospital were involved, the police had to be called in and charges brought, which led to conviction and short-term imprisonment for the Parnassian gunman. Praise is sufficiently removed when awarded to Antony Tudor or Frederick Ashton--or even flavor-of-the-times choreographers such as Christopher Wheeldon and Alexei Ratmansky, admirable talents both, but whose ultimate status on the Parnassian slopes is still in flux. At first he is archly sceptical and teasing of Tiresias' passionate poetry and Parnassian recollections. |
