Poetry and naturalism did not have a very happy marriage. The attempts of Fèvre-Desprez or Maupassant, for example, did not bear any fruit. But the problem perhaps also resides in the manner in which we consider and define poetry at the end of the nineteenth century. At last, it is at this level that J.-K. Huysmans seems interested in the question, uniting Baudelairean prose poetry with the naturalist method: Huysmans, poet of the everyday, avant-garde poet.
