Mallarmé, or the Poet of Nothingness

“Sartre as literary critic was never better than in this posthumous work.” —Hazel E. Barnes, author of Sartre & Flaubert

“Mallarmé, like Baudelaire, always maintained that works of criticism should be written with as much commitment and force as poetry. Too few are; this one is.” —French Studies

“Ernest Sturm's work is a distinguished and laudable contribution of Anglo-Saxon understanding of Sartre's thinking, and captures the very strength of Sartre's most powerful style. It has the lucidity used in the subtitle of the French edition.” —Annie Cohen-Solal, author of Sartre
