Artistic Self-consciousness in Rimbaud's Poetry --Conclusion: Beyond Symbolism --IndexChallenging traditional histories of the nineteenth-century French lyric, Laurence Porter maintains that from 1851 to 1875 Symbolism constituted neither a movement nor a system, but rather represented a crisis of confidence in the powers of poetry as a communicative act.
