This book is a comprehensive study of the writings of Jean-Paul
Sartre. As well as examining the drama and the fiction, the book
analyses the evolution of his philosophy, explores his concern with
ethics, psychoanalysis, literary theory, biography and
autobiography and includes a lengthy section on the still
much-neglected study of Flaubert, L'Idiot de la famille. One
important aim of the book is to rebut the charges made by many
theorists and philosophers by revealing that Sartre is in fact a
major source for concepts such as the decentred subject and
detotalised truth and for the revolt against individualistic
humanism. Dr Howells also takes into account much posthumously
published material, in particular the Chaiers pour une morale, but
also the Lettres au Castor and the Cranets de la drole de guerre.
The work is a substantial contribution to Sartre studies, but has
been written with the non-specialist in mind; to that end all
quotations are translated into English and gathered in an appendix.
