A collection of Val�ry’s occasional writings

This selection of Paul Val�ry’s occasional pieces―speeches, interviews, and articles―reveals his life as a public figure in constant demand. Included are his speech upon his reception to the French Academy; his address welcoming Marshal P�tain into the same body; memorial addresses honoring �mile Verhaeren and Henri Br�mond; an article on the “Future of Literature”; and an incisive piece on the heroine of Racine’s Ph�dre. These and the other selections show Val�ry as a man for every occasion, with pertinent, telling, and lasting comments to make.

The Collected Works of Paul Val�ry, the first collected edition of the writer in English, features new translations, the original French on facing pages for poetic works, and editorial notes.
