Le poète et son lecteur : les deux faces de l’éthos dans la poésie française du XIXe siècle

Abstract

Even if the the critics of the XIXth century do not use the word « ethos », this notion is central for the reception of the lyric poetry under the name of « soul ». This kind of reading that begins with the romanticism is still pregnant with the poets of the second part of the century who include the ethos as a central dimension of their poems, even if they play with the romantic ethos (Corbière) or deny it (Leconte de Lisle).
