Jean-Paul Sartre

The first English translation of a major text by Sartre on the French poet Stephane Mallarme. Originally written in 1952, the work provides both a comprehensive interpretation of Mallarme's poetry and an overview of French literature of the 19th century.

The full French text of Sartre's novel is accompanied by French-English vocabulary. Notes and a detailed introduction in English put the work in its social and historical context.
