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 | Under the heading "Recitation and Rebellion: Parnassianism, War, and the Fall of Empire" come poems from Louise Ackermann, Malvina Blanchecotte, Louise Michel, Louisa Siefert, and Nina de Villard. As Afranio Coutinho notes: "At the beginning of the twentieth century, Brazilian literature plunged into a phase of transition and syncretism, in which elements of Parnassianism, symbolism, and impressionism were blended" (194). To use the term Antonio Candido employed in describing the history of Brazilian literature, we should celebrate Parnassianism as the moment when literature was fully constituted as a system. |
