Aragon and Modernism (1922-1923)

  • Émilien Sermier Université de Lausanne

Abstract

This paper shows how the publishing year 1922-1923 coincided with the debut of several modernist poets in the novel (Cocteau, Delteil, Radiguet or Soupault). Looking beyond the canonical cases of Joyce and Proust (who disappeared in 1922), it primarily focuses on a text by Louis Aragon in order to examine the effervescence of francophone novel revivals. The article thereby highlights the extent to which the genre became an object of intense emulation within the Parisian networks.
