Philosopher, theologian, critic, sociologist, political activist --
Simone Weil was among the foremost thinkers of our time. Best known
in this country for her theological writing, Weil wrote on a great
variety of subjects ranging from classical philosophy and poetry,
to modern labor, to the language of political discourse. The
present anthology offers a generous collection of her work,
including essays never before translated into English and many of
which have long been out of print. It amply confirms Elizabeth
Hardwick's words that Simone Weil was "one of the most brilliant
and original minds of twentieth-century France" and "a woman of
transcendent intellectual gifts and the widest learning". A
longtime Weil scholar, Sian Miles has selected essays
representative of the wide sweep of Weil's work and provides a
superb introduction that places Weil's work in context of her life
and times.
