Pucciani, Frederic Jameson, Rene Girard, Guido Morpurgo-Tagliabue, John D. Wils, Hazel E. Barnes, Rene Marill-Alberes, and H. J. Blackman--all concerned with the literature, philosophy, and political thought of Jean-Paul Sartre. Designed for use by both literary critics and secondary and college teachers of English, this work would also be of value to undergraduate and graduate students of literature and philosophy. The essays are divided into seven categories: "Fiction: The Novel,""Fiction: The Theatre,""Fiction: Style,""Literary Criticism,""Philosophy,""Existential Psychoanalysis," and "Politics." A chronology of important dates in Sartre's life, a brief set of biographical notes on the contributors to this collection, and a 41-item selected bibliography of books, articles, and essays on Sartre complete the volume.
