| Research Abstract |
Through an analysis of the themes of “melancholia” and “childhood”, our research seeks to understand modern French literature from a perspective which differs from “aesthetics of unceasing renewal”. The “tradition of discontinuity”, that continues to seek new forms and aesthetics, had been considered as one of the most remarkable characteristics of the modern literature. However, the examination of the topics such as “melancholia” and “childhood” reveals undoubtedly the inheritance of these topics. This study is an attempt to re-examine the modern literature, not from the perspective of “discontinuity”, but from that of “inheritance”.
