description: This is the first translation of a major text by Sartre on one of the greatest modern French poets, Stephane Mallarmé, whom Sartre hailed as a "hero, prophet, wizard, and tragedian." Written in 1953, Sartre's text provides not only an invigorating and convincing interpretation of Mallarmé by also an original overview of French literature in the nineteenth century.
