Stephen Romer and Will Stone read their translations of Gerard de Nerval « Here began for me what I shall call the overflow of dream into real life. »Gérard de Nerval (1808-1855) was a wayward genius – a visionary steeped in esoterica, a great poet and translator (he introduced Goethe’s Faust into France), an occasional travel writer (he journeyed to the Middle East and even Belgium), an unorthodox novelist-cum-historian and a failed man of the theatre ; hapless in love, he continually fell for Muse-figures (especially actresses) who found him impossible, but fed his Platonic imagination…From the 1840s he suffered from a bi-polar condition, moments of exaltation alternating with suicidal dejection, a state he described in ‘Aurélia’, the famous ‘memoir of his madness’. Also out of this torment came his great and mysterious sonnet sequence, ‘The Chimeras’
