- Abstract
- This article aims to follow in the footsteps of French ecocriticism, while creating a double shift in its point of view : firstly, by questioning the work of the romantic writer Gérard de Nerval, who has never truly been studied through the prism of ecopoetry. Secondly, by proposing a resolutely transdisciplinary analysis : using the poem ‘‘Vers dorés’’, I show how poetry can be the privileged vehicle for an ecological philosophy in action. This study highlights the modernity of Nerval’s metaphysical conceptions of Nature but also how the poem may become the manifesto of a poetic ecology through its performativity and its mobilization of the figure of ruin.
