COHN, ROBERT GREER. The writer's way in France. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1960, 447pp., . Greer was founding editor of Yale French Studies, and a Mallarmé specialist. - In this book Professor Cohn offers a lucid and swift-paced account of a new, integral approach to French literature. In Part I the creative temperament is defined in terms of a subtly recognizable rhythm of human nature which appears in varying forms or "syncopations." In Part II the evolution of the rhythm is followed through changing themes, images, styles, and genres from the earliest known native origins to the crowning work of the Symbolists. Parts I and II together constitute a method, the purpose of which is to maintain a sense of direction as we move through the complexities of lively art. The method is brought to bear on extensive texts in Part III, with closely detailed studies of Rimbaud and Proust. These individual studies are offered as examples. The introduction discusses the present state of criticism; lengthy appendices are devoted to some important modes of lyric poetry and the author's epistemological concepts; and a briefer appendix takes up the idea of Progress in Art. The Writer's Way in France is a work of unusual perception, of great importance to all students of literature who are interested in fresh ideas and methods. - CONTENTS: Introduction -- Part I.
