Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the legacy of Teodor de Wyzewa’s reflexions on Wagner/Wagnerism and theirsubstantial impact on French Symbolist writers. The requirement to actually overcome nationalboundaries and pertaining ideologies has been a major step in seeking to open up French literaturetowards major foreign influences. It has also contributed to shape and define modernism, albeit ina rather conservative and largely neo-classical fashion.
