Phi Beta Essay on Cubist Labels in French Poetry
Jessor Breunig traces scholarly effort to prove French poets of 1900 to 1920 can be labeled Cubists. The study links poetry and visual art under one label, notes shifts in humanities history, and records Breunig’s challenges reconciling his thesis with Apollinaire as a standard bearer of the movement. The professor defends rigorous inquiry as the joy of scholarship.
