Although internationally renowned as a novelist, journalist, and
essayist, Nobel Prize-winning author Francois Mauriac (1885-1970)
never established a reputation as a poet. Yet it was Maurice
Barres's favourable review of his first collection of verse, Les
Mains jointes, that launched Mauriac's career in 1910. He went on
to publish three further collections of poems and insisted to the
end of his life that, despite critical neglect of his verse, he
remained first and foremost a poet. This book offers the first ever
in-depth exploration of the whole of Mauriac's verse output. After
a chapter tracing his general conception of poetry and comparing
his ideas to those of other poets and theorists, each of Mauriac's
verse collections is analysed in turn, as are many of his poems
that were published exclusively in literary journals. A final
chapter explores the significant relationship between Mauriac's
verse and his novels, revealing the multiple connections between
these two series of texts. This volume will appeal to those with an
interest in twentieth-century French poetry and, more generally, to
those interested in the relationship between verse and prose.
