Considered an influence on Symbolism, Decadence, and other late nineteenth-century aesthetic movements, Mallarmé's weekly salons were part of the heart of Parisian intellectual life and drew writers such as Yeats, Rilke, and Valéry. During his lifetime, Mallarmé was recognized as one of the greatest living French poets. The collections published during his lifetime and just after his death include L'Après-midi d'un faune, Album de vers et de prose, Les Poésies de Stéphane Mallarmé, Vers et prose, Les poésies de S. Mallarmé, and Un Coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard, poème. Wesleyan University Press published a vibrant new translation of this modernist poet in November 2015 entitled Azure: Poems and Selections from the "Livre," translated by Blake Bronson-Bartlett and Robert Fernandez.voir moins
