  Jules Laforgue Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
The work of the French poet Jules Laforgue (1860-1887) is distinguished by its qualities of skepticism and irony and its development of the technique of free verse.
Jules Laforgue was born on August 16, 1860, at Montevideo, Uruguay, one of five children of an emigrant French family.
Laforgue's natural pessimism, which was reinforced by his solitary life and by his study of the German philosophers Arthur Schopenhauer and Eduard von Hartmann, underlies all his poetry.

 Laforgue, Jules Criticism and Essays
Jules Laforgue was an early experimenter in vers libre (free verse), a stylistic innovation that became popular in the second half of the nineteenth century and released poetry from the traditional conventions of meter and stanza.
Laforgue's association with Kahn, who became his mentor, as well as with Charles Henry and literary critic Paul Bourget, was the most crucial of his career.
Laforgue's early death has continued to provide the impetus for a major debate in Laforgue criticism, since it remains a matter of speculation how the poet's work would have changed as he grew older.

 Poetry Criticism | Laforgue, Jules | INTRODUCTION
Laforgue was an early experimenter in vers libre (free verse).
Laforgue himself denied the consequence of these pieces during his lifetime, but the poems themselves dramatize some of the themes that were to occupy him throughout his literary career.
Laforgue's varied and innovative experiments with language began in Les complaintes, especially with the use of invented words and slang adopted from everyday speech.

Arguing that Laforgue is the great innovator in the use of free verse in French poetry, Holmes sheds light on his method of composition by means of close analysis of variants, and explores the precise nature of his experiment with interior monologue.
She sets Laforgue firmly in the context of contemporary French poetry and highlights the influence on him of Walt Whitman and Impressionist painting.
Laforgue emerges from this study as a far more important figure in the evolution of French verse than has previously been thought.

 Jules Laforgue : héritage et modernité
Par ailleurs, la traduction par Laforgue de Leaves of grass de Walt Whitman n'a pu manquer de lui suggérer la possibilité de créer un vers affranchi des règles et souvent très long.
Ces termes, qui sont encore à l'époque de Laforgue des néologismes, ont en outre des sonorités agressives (les dentales, les palatales) qui contribuent à créer un univers discordant.
Ainsi l'évolution de Laforgue vers le vers libre n'est pas une révolution inattendue dans son parcours.

 Jules Laforgue: Selected Poems (Penguin Classics)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Jules Laforgue was a contemporary of Rimbaud, yet they never knew one another because just as Rimbaud had stopped writing poetry and was leaving for Abyssinia, Laforgue was arriving in Paris from South America (where he was born).
Laforgue captures fleeting sensations and moments more playfully than Rimbaud, I think, using more colloquial language than his peer, but Rimbaud is second to none for obscure visions and acerbic wit.
All in all, Laforgues poems will make you smile at times in their innocence and lunacy, but most importantly, they are a conversation with various muses (lunar, pierrot, the feminine, amor, etc.) which are inspiring, thought-provoking, and astonishing all at once.

 Un mythe épisodique: Hélène de Troie chez Jules Laforgue
On pourrait en dire autant de l'Hélène de Laforgue qui n'est pas mentionnée dans l'étude ; cependant, certains des éléments traditionnels du mythe dégagés par Jean-Louis Backès pourraient avoir retenu l'attention du poète.
Le seul texte de Laforgue entièrement consacré à Hélène de Troie, qu'on peut donc considérer comme une (courte) reprise du mythe, est son sonnet de 1880 "Sur l'Hélène de Gustave Moreau".
Chez Laforgue le nom d'Hélène appelle donc "frêle" et "frisson", ce qui n'était nullement prévu dans le mythe : dans l'article de critique d'art, l'Hélène de Daras apparaît "frêle et roide en ses habits précieux" comme elle était, dans le sonnet, "frêle sous ses bijoux".

 J.-Ph. Saint-Gérand: Jules Laforgue, Les Complaintes
L'œuvre de Laforgue est toute contemporaine de ces débats, qui oscille entre la fantaisie et le sens de l'histoire inscrit dans les usages et mésusages concertés de la langue, par lesquels le poète entend autant exprimer sa sensibilité individuelle irrédentiste que choquer l'entendement et les goûts de ses lecteurs.
Laforgue, pour sa part, n'hésite pas à se saisir de l'esprit de la démarche pour en détourner l'application hors du champ de la langue et l'appliquer à l'expression seule d'une subjectivité tour à tour ludique ou tragique, selon les modalités propres de l'énonciation spécifique à chaque contexte.
Laforgue s'amuse ici à phonétiser l'expression, conformément à l'une des tendances orthographiques de l'époque ; il en résulte une graphie aux connotations vaguement hindouistes, qui présente par sa constitution même une sorte de syncrétisme religieux d'inspiration ludique.

 Peter Nicholls: (In-Conference -- HOW2)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In that essay of 1917, “Irony, Laforgue, and Some Satire,” Pound had praised Laforgue for his command of what he called a “good verbalism” (“Bad verbalism,” he says, “is rhetoric, or the use of cliché unconsciously, or a mere playing with phrases” 32).
Laforgue’s “nonchalance of manner,” as Pound terms it, actually represents only one aspect of his work, certainly masking the mordant and macabre features of his irony to which Eliot was predictably drawn.
In fact, the “verbalism” for which Pound praised Laforgue might suggest something not so very different from the allegedly “false” autonomy of the decadent style which always threatens to substitute a purely artificial language for a social one (the OED defines “verbalism” as ‘the predominance of what is merely verbal over reality or real significance”).
