French literature of the twentieth
century is popularity surveyed in this
volume. by DR.. Michaud, professor of
French literature in the University of
Illinois, who knows French and Amer
lean literatures almost equally well.
He has translated into French such
widely differing authors as Emerson
and Sinclair Lewis. He has written
this book chiefly for American readers
and has discussed both literary move
ments, such as religious symbolism,
the stream OF conscientious method,
the literature of adventure, cubism
and modernism in poetry, the dada
revolt and surrealism, political doc
trinaire literature, and individual au-
thors who have done their most i'm
portant work since the turn of the
century. Some of the authors who
have not only written outstanding
works but also represent movements
are Paul Claudel, former Ambassador
of France to the United States, who is
follower of J. K. Huysmans and now
the leader Of mysticism and symbol
ism in French poetry; Marcel Proust,
who inherits from Flaubert, the Con-
courts and Mallarme and Is the scien-
tific and esthetic analyst of the life
Of his age; Andre Glide. admirer Of
Dostoievsky and proponent OF revolu.
