Philosophy, myth and fantasy in Alexandre Soumet's dramatic and poetic texts

Alexandre Soumet, a French poet today forgiven, was although really famous on 19th century. He became member of the French Academy, he published a magazine with Victor Hugo, "La Muse française". Unfortunately, he was unable to choose between the classicism and the romantic school. In fact, he considered the romanticism as a philosophy like the German Novalis. He was enough an adept of illuminism philosophy as Swedenborg. Our study's purpose is to show how Alexandre Soumet's texts are the clutch of a poetic, philosophic and religious quest, where Orphée myth is very important. We'll see how the poet makes a link between his generic's researches and his philosophic quest. Then, our study will be interested on Orphée's myth and his metamorphosis and the Alexandre Soumet's project to make the art, the place of a transcendence and a link with God.
