Bøger af Theophile Gautier

Theophile Gautier's masterpiece "Mademoiselle de Maupin" might be better known for its lengthy preface than the actual novel itself. It is there in which the author discusses art for art's sake, arguing that "everything useful is ugly." The novel itself is a historical romance based on the life of French opera star Julie d'Aubigny, better known as Mademoiselle Maupin. The subject of gossip and many colorful stories during her time, Mademoiselle Maupin was known as a first-rate swordswoman who often disguised herself as a man. In "Mademoiselle de Maupin" we find a love triangle between Chevalier d'Albert, a young French Gentleman who struggles with finding a woman that meets his idealistic expectations, Rosette whom he engages in an affair with to ease his boredom, and the dashing young Theodore, who is actually Maupin disguised as a man. "Mademoiselle de Maupin" is an excellent example of the French historical romance which in its time was considered somewhat controversial for its sexually orientated themes; by today's standards however it would be considered quite tame.

Non loin du Nil, dans la vallée de Biban-el-Molouk, un jeune aristocrate anglais, lord Evandale, et un égyptologue allemand, le docteur Rumphius, découvrent, grâce à l'aide d'un escroc grec dénommé Argyropoulos, une tombe inviolée. Depuis plus de 3 500 ans, nul n'a foulé le sol de la chambre funéraire dans laquelle repose le sarcophage d'un pharaon. Mais quand on ouvre le lourd couvercle de basalte noir, les deux hommes trouvent, à leur grande stupéfaction, la momie parfaitement conservée d'une jeune femme d'une magnifique beauté appelée Tahoser. Après la découverte de cette momie, le roman raconte l'histoire de cette momie et de ses amours.

Onuphrius ou les vexations fantastiques d'un admirateur d'Hoffmann est une nouvelle fantastique de Théophile Gautier publiée pour la première fois en 1832. Le sous-titre fait référence au conteur allemand E.T.A. Hoffmann, l'un des pères du fantastique très apprécié de Gautier. Onuphrius est un romantique forcené. Les livres de légendes et de sorcellerie à la mode lui ont déjà faussé l'esprit ; les contes d'Hoffmann achèvent de l'égarer.

Émaux et camées est le sommet de l'art poétique de Théophile Gautier. La plupart des textes qui le constituent sont octosyllabiques ; « L'Art », contre-exemple, a une forme plus surprenante : il est en effet constitué de quatrains hexasyllabiques. Ses poèmes deviennent alors des bijoux virtuoses à la beauté un peu froide sans perdre toutefois leur charge émotionnelle. Cette esthétique nouvelle annonce le mouvement parnassien.
