Introducing Sartre by Philip Thody
This text places Sartre's thinking in the context of the 20th century debate on the nature and function of literature, and especially the concept of politically "committed" literature which he so valued. It also explores his ideas about Marxism, his enthusiasm for the 1968 student rebellion, and his support for the liberation of Third World countries from Western imperialism. The book also looks at the impact of his unusual childhood, and its effects on his view of French bourgeois society.
Philip Thody was Professor of French Literature and Head of the Department of French at the Univerisity of Leeds until his retirement in 1993. He has written studies of Anouilh, Camus, Genet, Huxley, Proust and Sartre. He is also the author of Introducing Barthes. Howard Read recently graduated from the Royal College of Art and is now working as a freelance illustrator. In 1997, he won the student prize in the Folio Society Golden Jubilee competition.
