The first English translation of Jean Paulhan's major essays

Probes the relationship between language, meaning, context, intention and action, and produces a treatise on the nature of the literary act, and a meditation on the responsibility or ethical imperative of literature itself. This book is the English translation of "Les Fleurs de Tarbes, ou la terreur dans les lettres".

In this new edition, John Flower provides a full contextualising introduction of Jean Paulhan's Lettre aux directeurs de la Resistance. The volume makes an important contribution to our understanding of this turbulent period and provides a documentary history of the post-war political and literary debates in Paris.
