Gide, Andre

(22 November 1869 – 19 February 1951)  Gide was a French writer of the symbolist movement and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947.
"Gide's work can be seen as an investigation of freedom and empowerment in the face of moralistic and puritanical constraints, and gravitates around his continuous effort to achieve intellectual honesty" (1).  
Stevens wrote in his letter to Henry Church in 1944 that he would like Church to send a copy of his Notes toward a Supreme Fiction to Gide's journal Nouvele revue francaise.
