A satirical literary manifesto taken literally

Jammism is a literary manifesto parodying the movements of the time, published in 1897 in the Mercure de France by Francis Jammes. The author mocked literary schools there by inviting volunteers to found absolutely nothing in his town of Orthez. Some writers nevertheless missed the irony of the text and actually founded a literary movement named after him.
