Bog beskrivelse

The first complete study of Gide''s neglected wartime writings.

Arguably the most influential French writer of the early twentieth century, André Gide is a paradigmatic figure whose World War II writings offer an exemplary reflection of the challenges facing a leading writer in a time of national collapse. Tracing Gide''s circuitous "intellectual itinerary" from the fall of France through the postwar purge, this book examines the ambiguous role of France''s senior man of letters during the Second World War. The writer''s intricate maneuverings offer privileged insights into three issues of broad significance: the relationship of literature and politics in France during World War II, the repressions and repositionings that continue to fuel controversy about the period, and the role of public intellectuals in times of national crisis.

With the exception of the early wartime Journal, Gide''s publications during France''s "dark years" have received little critical attention. This book scrutinizes the entire wartime oeuvre in depth, tracing the evolution of Gide''s political views and, most importantly, reading the wartime texts against each other. It is the interplay among these texts that reveals the full complexity of Gide''s political positionings and the rhetorical brilliance he deployed to redress his tarnished image.
