Stello
by Alfred de Vigny
On This Page
Description
Stello presents dialogue between a doctor and a poet overwhelmed by a "crisis of sadness and affliction" on a night in 1832. The Black-Doctor tells of the death of three poets in the eighteenth century. These historical stories furnish the foundation for the solitary martyr thinker type. Here Vigny diagnoses the "disenchantment" of a generation.Tags

A classic meditation on the role of the poet in society that has lost none of its pertinence.
