The mythical figure of Sappho exerts a powerful hold over male writers of the second half of the nineteenth century (Verlaine, Banville, and Cantel), who associate her with lesbianism.
- By (author) Myriam Robic
Review - French Veritable mythe de la creation poetique, Sapho exerce une grande fascination sur les ecrivains de la seconde moitie du XIXsiecle, qui l'associent desormais au lesbianisme. Sous l'impulsion de Baudelaire, de nombreux poetes masculins des annees 1850-1880 (Verlaine, Banville, Cantel...) cherchent a promouvoir leurs textes par le scandale des amours saphiques, et ce malgre la censure. Ces poetes font alors reference a une Sapho homosexuelle et voluptueuse a travers laquelle se reconnait le poete dans sa soif d'infini ou dans ses propres pratiques sexuelles. La poetisation du saphisme nous permet ainsi de cerner les enjeux esthetiques, moraux, politiques, medicaux et juridiques au coeur de la representation du lesbianisme dans la seconde moitie du XIXsiecle.
