Laforgue's collection of stories, the Moralités légendaires, freely modernizes established stories of literary tradition according to the stereotypical preoccupations of 1880s Decadence. In this first complete study of the Moralités in any language, Laforgue's stories emerge as brilliant examples of parody in its most creative form, among the most original prose creations of the late nineteenth century. Laforgue is known to most English-speaking readers as an influence on T. S. Eliot. In France he is considered a major writer, alongside Symbolist writers such as Baudelaire, Rimbaud, and Mallarmé. Laforgue's stories fully exploit the creative possibilities of parody, and thus make a particularly illuminating contribution, resolving many long-standing theoretical questions. The stories provide a rich source for investigating the procedures of parody and for formulating a sufficiently general and flexible theory to account for the diversity of its form over time. Hannoosh examines the 1880s notion of Decadence with which Laforgue's Moralités plays and attempts to revise the prevailing view of the movement to reflect the importance of parody therein. She provides close readings of the six stories: Hamlet, Le Miracle des Roses, Lohengrin, Salomé, Persée et Andromède, and Pan et la Syrinx. Using an intertextual model of literary theory, Michele Hannoosh derives a theory of the genre overall and addresses the issues raised by metafictional theories of parody from the Russian Formalists onward. Michele Hannoosh is Assistant Professor of French and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Davis. She has written many articles on nineteenth-century French literature and art.

"L'ampio regesto che qui si offre allo studioso è il frutto di un lungo e paziente lavoro condotto da ricercatori e frequentatori dell'Istituto di Italianistica, coordinati da Giuseppe Farinelli, docente di Storia della Letteratura Italiana Modera e Contemporanea presso la Facoltà di Magistero dell'Università Cattolica di Milano. Il risultato è una complessa e articolata visione prospettica della situazione del nuovo Stato unitario nei suoi aspetti sociali, politici, di costume e soprattutto culturali (in particolare letterari, teatrali, musicali). Ne emerge una realtà nazionale in cerca di una propria identità culturale, ancora contraddittoriamente dibattuta tra proprie tradizioni e modelli stranieri, e inoltre ansiosa di una sintesi tra eroica epoca passata dei miti romantici e risorgimentali e la nuova realtà, al tempo stesso meno stimolante nella sua quotidianitàma molto più ricca di fermenti drammatica difficoltà interpretativa. In questo clima nascono e si sviluppano i fenomeni della Scapigliatura e del Verismo: che costituiscono la motivaziona prima e il dato di partenza del presente regesto e che possono essere ora storicamente rivisitati, sulla base di documenti rintracciati, con un'analisi più approfondita e più proficua."
