Creating scenic space in Les Monténégrins Generical transfers and poetization

This paper explores phenomena of intertextuality in Gérard de Nerval’s Les Monténégrins. Focusing in particular on the second act of the play, in which Maladetta Castle shelters the vampire’s pseudo-fantastic apparition, this paper sets out to analyse the dialogue between theatre and poetry and to demonstrate how poetic devices enrich Nerval’s writing for the stage.
