Description
Renowned writer, critic, and teacher, Wallace Fowlie has devoted his life to the study and teaching of the French language and literature.
Author and translator of thirty books, Fowlie’s contributions include translations of Rimbaud (the complete works), Molieré, Claudel, Baudelaire, and Cocteau, and literary studies of, among others, Rimbaud, Stendhal, Gide, and Mallarmé.
His widely acclaimed Journal of Rehearsals, originally published in 1977, is the first in his series of memoirs.
In this passionate book, Fowlie explores his "love affair" with the literature and culture of France, and offers insights into his own intellectual and social life, his early love for the French language, and his encounters and relationships with an impressive cast of characters: Kenneth Burke, Jean Cocteau, Martha Graham, Henry Miller, Marianne Moore, T.
S. Eliot, and others.
