The Novels of Simone de Beauvoir (Hardcover)

First published in 1988, The Novels of Simone de Beauvoir concentrates specifically on the novels of the famous 20th Century French writer, Simone de Beauvoir. Her novels are popular with both the students and general readers of literature and philosophy, and they will welcome this authoritative introduction to Beauvoir's fiction. The author examines Beauvoir's choice of narrative strategies and interprets them both in relation to the sexual politics of writing and in relation to the place which the constraints of history, class and gender increasingly play in the texts. All quotations are translated.
