| Abstract
|
:
|
"Frequently referred to as the 'eminence grise' of French literature in the inter-war years, Jean Paulhan (1884-1968) was not just the editor responsible for giving writers as varied as Francis Ponge and Jean-Paul Sartre their first start in the pages of the renowned Nouvelle Revue Francaise. He also produced a substantial body of work of astonishing eclecticism. From dense, quasi-scientific texts on poetic language, where his critical expertise in contemporary linguistics and psychology is abundantly apparent, to enigmatic recits, which often seem closer to prose poems than anything else, he explored and exploited a vast range of discourses and artistic practices, from the Marquis de Sade's early works to Picasso's still lives. Yet all his explorations were governed by an overwhelming concern to understand what literature has to pay back to society. Anna-Louise Milne reveals the space Jean Paulhan sought to carve out, between art for arts sake and art for political ends, thereby establishing more clearly his place in the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.
