Confronting History: the edited correspondence of Jean Paulhan and Armand Petitjean, 1934-1968

这个项目将产生《新文学》(NRF)的编辑Jean Paulhan和一位才华横溢但被忽视的批评家Armand Peitjean(1913-2003年)之间的信件交换版本。这些书信提供了一个独特的洞察知识分子在这一敏感时期在法国历史上的关注点。大家一致认为，NRF是法国20世纪最重要的文学文化评论。由于它对政治事件的反映和评论，它迅速获得了机构地位。佩蒂金蔑视失败主义，捍卫共和党的原则，反对绥靖政策。然而，在占领期间，他被妥协了，但保罗汉在解放后的清洗中为他辩护。

This project will result in an edition of letters exchanged between Jean Paulhan, editor of the Nouvelle Revue fran9aise (NRF), and Armand Petitjean (1913-2003), a talented but neglected critic. The correspondence affords a unique insight into the preoccupations of intellectuals during this sensitive period in French history. By common consent the NRF is France's most important 20th-century literary-cultural review. Because it reflected and commented on political events, it rapidly attained institutional status. Despising defeatism, Petitjean defended republican principles and opposed appeasement policies. Under the Occupation, however, he was compromised, yet Paulhan defended him in the post-Liberation purges.
