The Poetics of the City in Georges Rodenbach’s Works
Abstract
Georges Rodenbach is the author of works in prose and verses exploring the resonance of the signs received from the outside world on the individual subjectivity. His fictions, poems and essays look into the interactions between the characters and the city - generally Bruges - in which they evolve, charging the objective reality with symbols revealing their own intimate determinations. The real or symbolic influence of the City on narrative developments, expressed by a poetics of Analogy, is the topic of this study, which will attempt to bring out the overall coherence of Rodenbach’s works through the permanence of his “Poetics of the City”.
