"What is Literature?" and Other Essays by Jean-Paul Sartre
What is Literature? challenges anyone who writes as if literature could be extricated from history or society. But Sartre does more than indict. He offers a definitive statement about the phenomenology of reading, and he goes on to provide a dashing example of how to write a history of literature that takes ideology and institutions into account.
Jean-Paul Sartre, the great figure of French literary and philosophical culture at mid-century, was the author of numerous works. Steven Ungar is Professor of French and Chair of Comparative Literature at the University of Iowa and the author of Roland Barthes: The Professor of Desire.
