Pierre Albert-Birot

"This book tries to encompass the life's achievement of Pierre Albert-Birot in art, poety, and prose. This book is a rich and exhaustively researched study of a fascinating figure and a most original mind. The volume also attempts to encompass a life's achievement and to view globally Albert-Birot's artistic, poetic, and prose productions. As such, this is an important contribution to the study and knowledge of French literature of the first half of the twentieth century and to interdisciplinary studies. It is of interest not only to specialists in French literature, but also to art historians, literary historians, and those interested in comparative aesthetics."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
