In an era of "globalization" of literature and culture, women writers of the late 19th century are no longer of such interest. The aim of this book is to examine the social and poetic implications of a work that has long remained in the shadows.Given that very few people still read the work of Anna de Noailles, this book brings up to date a poetry that may seem old-fashioned today.Anna de Noailles had been so glorified during her lifetime, her contemporaries had shown her excessive admiration; she had also been much caricatured, unfairly, but the memory of a being who was akin to the greatest of her time deserves to be illuminated and relived.Throughout the pages, there is a constant search for and interpretation of the poetic particularities that so well define the cosmopolitan spirit of the poetess of the "Innumerable Heart".
