Alfred de Musset (Critical Survey of Poetry)
Other Literary Forms
Alfred de Musset’s prose contes and nouvelles have sustained an appreciative audience, but it is his lyric verse and, above all, his dramas that truly endure. As Phillipe Van Tieghem has observed, Musset’s theater is an admirable synthesis of the neoclassical tastes of seventeenth as well as eighteenth century theater with the passion and variety of Romantic trends. This synthesis also characterizes the best of Musset’s verse.
