How do today's readers respond to the invitation to 'think colour' as they read poetry and art writing, and explore paintings? To what extent can critical thought on colour in visual media illuminate the textual life of colour? These are some of the lines of enquiry pursued in this bold new study of modern poetry and art writing in French, where colour, Susan Harrow argues, is integral to the exploration of ethics, ekphrasis, objects, bodies, landscape, and interiority. The question of colour, in a variety of disciplines and media, has provoked debate from Aristotle to Goethe, and from Baudelaire to Derek Jarman. If the past twenty years have witnessed a 'colour turn' in contemporary cultural studies and screen research, colour values in literary and textual media are often elided or, simply, overlooked. Colourworks tackles this lacuna in the study of modern poetry and art writing in French, revealing the integral role of colour in the work of three iconic French writers in the modern tradition: SteÌphane MallarmeÌ, Paul ValeÌry, and Yves Bonnefoy. Colourworks spans the broad modern period from the 1860s to the early 21st century in taking an exploratory approach to the visuality of the verbal medium through an adventurous reading of text and image. Harrow uncovers how colour moves and morphs in texts as it challenges the traditionalist containments of chromatic symbolism. Beyond its primary area of investigation in modern poetry and art writing in French, this richly colour-illustrated study has significant interdisciplinary implications - conceptual, methodological, and practical - for the study of visuality in humanities research, from literature studies to material and visual culture studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 221-229) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : Thinking colour-writing -- Colour concept and practice : MallarmeÌ's monochromes -- Matter, metaphor, metamorphosis : ValeÌry's intermittent colour -- Emblematic chromatics and the colour of ethics : Yves Bonnefoy's lessons in things -- Conclusion : Moving colour forward. 600 10 $a MallarmeÌ, SteÌphane, $d 1842-1898 $x Aesthetics. 600 10 $a ValeÌry, Paul, $d 1871-1945 $x Aesthetics. 600 10 $a Bonnefoy, Yves $x Aesthetics. 600 17 $a Bonnefoy, Yves $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00053838 600 17 $a MallarmeÌ, SteÌphane, $d 1842-1898 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00034378 600 17 $a ValeÌry, Paul, $d 1871-1945 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00048705 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Color in literature. 650 0 $a French poetry $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a French poetry $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Aesthetics $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798702 650 7 $a Color in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868581 650 7 $a French poetry $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934799 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Harrow, Susan. $t Colourworks $d London ; New York : Bloomsbury Visual Arts, 2020 $z 9781350182219 $w (DLC) 2020036488 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023603.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=05A9C87E5F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
