Summary: "Le IIme livre des masques" by Remy de Gourmont is a literary critique and analysis compilation written in the late 19th century. This work delves into psychological and literary criticism, examining various authors and poets, such as Francis Jammes, Paul Fort, and Hugues Rebell, among others, each representing different facets of the literary landscape of the time. The emphasis appears to be on the emotional resonance and aesthetic value of literary works, showcasing Gourmont's contemplative and discerning perspective on artistic expression. At the start of the book, the author outlines his critical approach, arguing for a method that blends emotional analysis with literary insight rather than relying solely on abstract principles. The preface sets the tone for the analyses that follow, demonstrating Gourmont's commitment to understanding literature through the subjective feelings it evokes rather than through rigid critiques. He introduces several contemporary poets, discussing their styles, themes, and the emotional depth of their works, thereby providing a warm, celebratory examination of literature as a vibrant and complex art form that continually offers new interpretations and experiences for both the reader and the critic.
