Paul Valery's work is a unique odyssey in the universe of ideas and
mental forms. The most recently acknowledged - and the most private
- of the masters of modernity, Valery is perhaps the most radical
and wide-ranging. He navigates freely within the mental galaxies
known to scientists, poets, literary theorists, musicians,
philosophers, historicans and social anthropologists, always
concerned to explore the potential and limits of the human mind.
Originally published in 1999, the present volume of essays by
internationally recognised scholars offered the first comprehensive
account of Valery's work in English or French. It provided a series
of readings bringing into focus the deeper coherence that animates
what Valery called his 'unitary mind in a thousand pieces', and
offered perspectives on the immense range of his experimental and
fragmentary writings. This book moved forward the frontiers of our
understanding of Valery's work, and substantially altered the way
in which he was perceived.
