Remy de Gourmont Selected Writings
Ann Arbor, MI: University of Michigan Press, 1966. first edition. hardcover. 8vo. 230pp. from front flap: "Remy de Gourmont, the writer whom T.S. Eliot called "the critical conscience of his generation," was an editor of the influential Mercure de France from 1885 to 1915. He wrote about nearly all the important ideas and intellectual movements of the day, bringing to his task an acute critical perception and a biting, ironical style that earned him disciples and bitter enemies. His essays on the dissociation of ideas and his attempts to synthesize science and the symbolist movement greatly influenced T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Kenneth Burke, and other writers. This volume collects a variety of major pieces drawn from teh wide range of Gourmont's writings--on language and style, the creative process, education, sensibility, philosophy, science, criticism, and many other subjects."
