Ce livre propose une nouvelle lecture de la poétique du grand poète symboliste Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898), retraçant l’évolution des poèmes à forme fixe aux textes puissants de la maturité. Nous montrons ainsi que certains aspects du Coup de dés étaient déjà en germe trois décennies plus tôt. Adoptant une nouvelle approche à l’importance du genre, nous explorons le «devenir-femme» de Mallarmé, reliant crise de vers et crise de genre. Son titre évoque à la fois son Hérodiade éprise d’elle-même, mêlant intelligence farouche et sensualité, et sa poésie dont les rimes miroitantes finissent par miner l’autonomie du vers, menant à une dissolution.
