While the critical tradition has sought to show, since the end of the nineteenth century, how Laforgue could have been inspired by Corbière, this study adopts a new approach: it seeks to understand the modes of approach, evaluation, and appropriation through which the author of Les Complaintes becomes both reader and commentator of Les Amours jaunes. In Laforgue’s eyes, Corbière is the one who was able to free himself from norms and guardianships, and who moved toward a new language in search of subjectivity.
