Bersani explores a fundamental paradox within Mallarmé work as a whole. On one hand Mallarmé can be taken as a prime example of textual imperialism in modern literature and on the other he felt that literature could not understand the nature of reality. In tracing this paradox, Bersani brings fresh insights to much of Mallarmé's work and suggests a unique way of understanding Mallarmé's place in modern literature.
