Abstract

Résumé La mise en musique des Illuminations par Benjamin Britten (1939) remanie le texte rimbaldien en effectuant des « transpositions » de prosodie, de forme, de sonorités, et de figuralismes. Nous proposons que ces « transpositions » proviennent d’un processus inhérent au texte poétique lui-même. Abstract Benjamin Britten’s 1939 setting of Les Illuminations reworks Rimbaud’s poetry by creating certain ‘transpositions’ of prosody, form, sound properties, and word-painting. The contention here is that these ‘transpositions’ stem from a process that is inherent to the poetic text itself.
