“The poetics of space” by Gaston Bachelard
“In the hands of Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962), the literary essay acquired a truly protean fluidity and freedom. Bachelard, the masterful philosopher, was at once the psychologist and the poet; the loving and very careful decipherer of images; the phenomenologist capable of reading in verses, novels, poems and hymns the condensed figures of our imaginative condition. We owe him classic books in the modern literary tradition of essay inquiries; from it arises a new attitude towards the textual facts and towards the works.”
