Jean Paulhan's Lettre aux directeurs de la Resistance was an
important and contentious statement about the influence of
communism in intellectual and literary circles. On publication in
1952, the pamphlet revived debates over collaboration with the Nazi
authorities that had dominated French society since the Liberation,
and that still have important echoes today. In this new edition,
John Flower provides a full contextualising introduction. He also
examines Paulhan's evolution during the period and assesses his
postion alongside that of other key figures: in particular Mauriac
and Camus. 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.
