Nerval solo Nerval’s presence in the work of André Hardellet

André Hardellet has never concealed his taste for Nerval’s work and both writers share the same aesthetical and metaphysical preoccupations, one century apart. Both have experienced or have longed to experience the effusion of dream into real life – which, more than the simple blurring of the line between madness and sanity, is truly a way to stimulate poetic creation.
