Abstract

Abstract

From the Classicist period to the end of the eighteenth century, the rational structural pattern dominated French literature. With the new understanding of the self that Western cultural circles developed, the old rational structural pattern, in the views of many writers, did not correspond to a complex, deep conception of the self. Téodor de Wyzewa, A French symbolist critic, inspired by Richard Wagner's symphonies, decided to turn literature into unconscious music which brought about an irrational structural pattern, and then combine this irrational structural pattern with the rational one. Stéphane Mallarmé and Édouard Dujardin experimented respectively in their poems and novels with this new synthesis. Wyzewa's synthesis not only changed the symbolist structural pattern, but also framed the prototype for modern Western literature.
