André Gide

This volume gathers a chosen set of influential critical essays about André Gide. Gide stands among the defining writers of the 1900s, and both his literary work and his public position as an intellectual have drawn responses from his contemporaries and still matter today. The pieces present differing viewpoints, intended to both enlighten and direct the reader. Before each essay, a short introduction explains its historical and critical setting, and a glossary defines the specialist terms used throughout.
