This book is an attempt to present a new, integral approach to
French literature. Acknowledging his debts to numerous
post-Hegelian philosophers or psychologists and modern critics,
Professor Cohn offers a lucid and swift-paced account of an
original view of literature which bears particular kinship to the
artistic visions of Joyce, Mallarme, and Proust.In Part I the
creative temperament is defined in terms of a subtly recognizable
rhythm of human nature which appears in varying forms or
"syncopations." In Part II the evolution of the rhythm is followed
through changing themes, images, styles, and genres from the
earliest known native origins to the crowning work of the
Symbolists.Parts I and II together constitute a method, the purpose
of which is to maintain, as tactfully as possible, a sense of
direction as we move through the complexities of lively art. The
method is brought to bear on extensive texts in Part III, with
closely detailed studies of Rimbaud and Proust. These individual
studies are offered' as examples; more are promised in subsequent
volumes.In addition, the present state of criticism is discussed in
an Introduction; lengthy appendices are devoted to some important
modes of lyric poetry and the author's "precritical," or
epistemological, concepts; and a briefer appendix takes up the idea
of Progress in Art. The Writer's Way in France is a work of unusual
perception, of great importance to all students of literature who
are interested in fresh ideas and methods.
