Paul Valéry: The Mind in the Mirror by Dr. Elizabeth Sewell, Professor of Literature, Cambridge University, Vassar, and Notre Dame.

"Paul Valéry: The Mind in the Mirror," authored by Dr. Elizabeth Sewell, offers an in-depth scholarly examination of the French poet and philosopher’s exploration of selfhood and consciousness. Drawing on Valéry’s complex poetic works, including his seminal "Alphabet," the study delves into themes of self-creation and the continual rebirth of identity. Sewell’s analysis situates Valéry within modern European literature and thought, providing valuable insights into his philosophical reflections on the mind and the nature of existence. This volume is an essential resource for students and scholars of literary philosophy and modernist studies.
