RE: ADSactly Literature: Jules Laforgue - The Irruption of Irony in Modern Poetry (Part II)
There is nothing more serious than ironizing tragedies, destiny, death, and Jules Laforgue does it very well. When we ironize, we question. Irony is a resource that works if there is a reader who lives up to irony, if you understand it. When we see that the lyrical speaker questions God, his designs, we face an irreverent and daring voice. I loved that last poem. Thank you for sharing this work, @josemalavem. regards
Thanks to you, @nancybriti, for your reading and commentary. I highlighted in this work what I called "the irruption of irony", because, although we know that irony makes its entrance with modernity (it was already in the Schlegel brothers, Hugo, Baudelaire, etc.), Laforgue takes it to one of its maximum modern expressions, very close to what it will be in the 20th century. Greetings.
