It is not common to include Jarry in a journal devoted to Romanticism. However, born in 1873, he does belong to the 19th century, and it is therefore rightly that Claude Duchet, editor-in-chief of Romantisme, asked me to treat the bourgeois according to the author of Ubu roi. I then attempted to consider Jarry's attitude toward the bourgeois character through the totality of his work, as contradictory as it may be. Hence this deliberately brutal title, naming the brute seen from the star Algol, while playing on this writer's alcoholic reputation. According to the tools measuring the consultation of our critical works, it would seem that this one was very widely browsed, as proven by its setup by Persée.

Alfred Jarry in Verve, presentation and selection by H. B., Pierre Horay editions, 2003, 128 p.

What is "verve"? To define it, dictionaries, like the Grand Littré and the Petit Larousse, resort to a metaphor: "heat of imagination", they say... Happiness of expression that surprises the reader, suddenly stopped by a "word", a reflection, a retort, whose accuracy and unexpected drollery leave him delighted before the open page. Since language has existed, verve belongs only to those who are taken by the rage of words and verb. In short, all the great creators and virtuosos of language. But it doesn't appear only in printed works; some entrust it to their intimate journal, or sow it in happy formulas in conversation. The most brilliant (which are not always the most known) are gathered in this collection. HB
