Téodor de Wyzewa

He frequently contributed articles on European literature and music to the Revue des deux mondes and Le Temps, among many other periodicals.

His translation of Jacobus de Voragine's Golden Legend into modern French made it available to a wide audience once more.

In La Revue wagnérienne he put forward the idea of Wagnerian Art which heralded symbolism.

He is also famous for his idea of the "work of art of the future", which, according to him, should have been a novel describing only the inner life of its author during a period no longer than a day.

The idea, transferred by example of the novel Les lauriers sont coupés by Wyzewa's friend Édouard Dujardin, was fully realized by James Joyce in Ulysses.
