<i>"Pan et la Syrinx"</i> or Jules Laforge's poetic art.

Abstract

Jules Laforgue is a symbolist French poet who wrote a narrative in prose named Moralités Légendaires. In this work, he parodied and made use of ironies concerning myths from different traditions as a way to deconsecrate them. However in “Pan et la Syrinx”, he uses the same procedures but writes about what would be his project of “poetic art”. Keywords: Jules Laforgue. French Symbolism. Parody. Irony. Pan. Poetics.
