Maurice Blanchot, the eminent literary and cultural critic, has had
a vast influence on contemporary French writers--among them Jean
Paul Sartre and Jacques Derrida. From the 1930s through the present
day, his writings have been shaping the international literary
consciousness.
"The Space of Literature," first published in France in 1955, is
central to the development of Blanchot's thought. In it he reflects
on literature and the unique demand it makes upon our attention.
Thus he explores the process of reading as well as the nature of
artistic creativity, all the while considering the relation of the
literary work to time, to history, and to death. This book consists
not so much in the application of a critical method or the
demonstration of a theory of literature as in a patiently
deliberate meditation upon the literary experience, informed most
notably by studies of Mallarme, Kafka, Rilke, and Holderlin.
Blanchot's discussions of those writers are among the finest in any
language.
