ANDRÉ GIDE FICTION AND FERVOUR By Jeremy Robinson André Gide (1869-1951) is a writer's writer, a sophisticated modern artist who progressed from French Symbolism to international postmodernism. André Gide is a mass of contradictions, paradoxes and tensions of all kinds. He is puritanical but pagan • an ascetic who adores sensuality • an atheist who yearns for God • a homosexual who all his life loved his wife, Madeleine Rondeaux • he strived for objectivity while remaining one of the most introspective of writers • he needed the rainy domesticity of Normandy and the sun-baked wildness of North Africa • despite his prolific output he produced…

ANDRÉ GIDE FICTION AND FERVOUR By Jeremy Robinson André Gide (1869-1951) is a writer's writer, a sophisticated modern artist who progressed from French Symbolism to international postmodernism. André Gide is a mass of contradictions, paradoxes and tensions of all kinds. He is puritanical but pagan • an ascetic who adores sensuality • an atheist who yearns for God • a homosexual who all his life loved his wife, Madeleine Rondeaux • he strived for objectivity while remaining one of the most introspective of writers • he needed the rainy domesticity of Normandy and the sun-baked wildness of North Africa • despite his prolific output he produced only one novel (in his sense of the term) • he is very much a part of the modern European tradition (of Fyodor Dostoievsky, Friedrich Nietzsche, Rainer Maria Rilke, Gustave Flaubert, Arthur Rimbaud and Stéphane Mallarmé), while also standing outside it all, unclassifiable. The book concentrates on the texts Fruits of the Earth, The Immoralist, and the Journals, and aspects of Gide's work such as art, religion, philosophy, love and identity. This new edition has been completely updated. Includes illustrations featuring Gide, bibliography and notes. Paperback.

Über den Autor
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY: JEREMY MARK ROBINSONJeremy Robinson has written many critical studies, including Steven Spielberg, Arthur Rimbaud, Jean-Luc Godard, and The Sacred Cinema of Andrei Tarkovsky, plus literary monographs on: J.R.R. Tolkien; Samuel Beckett; Thomas Hardy; Andre Gide; Robert Graves; and Lawrence Durrell. It's amazing for me to see my work treated with such passion and respect. There is nothing resembling it in the U.S. in relation to my work.Andrea Dworkin (on Andrea Dworkin)This model monograph - it is an exemplary job, and I'm very proud that he has accorded me a couple of mentions... The subject matter of his book is beautifully organised and dead on beam.Lawrence Durrell (on The Light Eternal: A Study of J.M.W. Turner)His poetry is very good deep moving stuff.Cloud Nine magazineJeremy Robinson's poetry is certainly jammed with ideas, and I find it very interesting for that reason. It's certainly a strong imprint of his personality.Colin WilsonSex-Magic-Poetry-Cornwall is a very rich essay... It is a very good piece... vastly stimulating and insightful.Peter Redgrove
