"L'Impeccable Théophile Gautier et les sacrilèges romantiques" by Louis Nicolardot is a literary study written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the life and poetic contributions of Théophile Gautier, exploring his relationships with contemporaries like Baudelaire and Sainte-Beuve, while reflecting on the impact of Romanticism on literature and society. The book addresses the complexities of Gautier’s character, his celebrated talent, and also the controversies surrounding his works. The opening
of the study presents an examination of Théophile Gautier's election to the Académie and the perception of his literary legacy. Nicolardot critiques the reception of Gautier by his peers, emphasizing a cold indifference from the Académie due to his unconventional romantic narratives. The discussion highlights Gautier's connections with other prominent figures of the time, including the adulation from Baudelaire, alongside a reflection on Gautier's artistic style, his philosophical musings on poetry, and the Romantic tendencies of his era. Nicolardot establishes a critical lens on the "sacrilège" of Romanticism, setting the stage for an in-depth analysis of Gautier's work as embodying the conflict between traditional literary morality and the emerging modern sensibility.
