Synopsis
Excerpt from Willy
Mais voici l'heure tourmentée du symbolisme, la floraison des petites revues; le règne des polémiques passionnées de littérature et d'art. La réaction contre le naturalisme se manifeste dans la plupart des écrits de la jeunesse. On est idéaliste, wagnérien et, plus que tout autre, l'eslhète intransigeant et funam bulesque qui signe Henry Maugis dans La Nouvelle Rive Gauche {laquelle fut Lutèce après quelques numéros). Préludaritaueàpeu près, aux calembours, aux jugements précis comme a sa grande sincérité d'aujourd'hui, Henry Gauthier Villars, sous le style truculent et tintamarresque du débutant, laissait percer déjà la sagacité du critique. Dans cette revue, ilrenconlrait son futur collaborateur, Léo Tre zenick, et signait côte à côte avec Verlaine, Jean Moréas, Paul Adam, Charles Morice, Francis Vielé Griffin, Henri de Régnier.
