Abstract
The article deals with the legacy of Teodor de Wyzewa's reflexions on Wagner/Wagnerism and their substantial impact on French Symbolist writers. The requirement to actually overcome national boundaries and pertaining ideologies has been a major step in seeking to open up French literature towards major foreign influences.
It has also contributed to shape and define modernism, albeit in a rather conservative and largely neo-classical fashion.
