The Universal Self

A Study of Paul Valery

Beschreibung

In The Universal Self Miss Mackay examines Valéry’s achievement, both as poet and creative thinker, placing him in the environment of literary life in Paris; tracing the development of his thought, from his early friendship with Mallarmé to the years when his genius was widely acknowledged.

Autor

Agnes Mackay was educated in Scotland and Tours, France, but considers a study of languages and philosophy under the guidance of her uncle Théodore Roussel, to be the most formative period of education. She lived in Chelsea for a number of years, contributing essays on French literature and poems to various periodicals, and making frequent visits to France, meeting many painters and writers, including Paul Valéry.
