| Publisher Description: Esquisses/ bauches assembles a cast of international scholars to debate the role of the esquisse (the sketch) and the bauche (the lay-in or the draft) in the works of key nineteenth-century French writers and artists. These new readings, with their wide-ranging approaches to the question of the finished work, uncover a cultural context in which forms of the unfinished become privileged and highlight both the existence of an esthetic of the unfinished and an emerging poetics of process. |
