Valéry’s complete writings for the theater
This volume gathers all of Paul Valéry’s writings for the theater. It includes My Faust, Valéry’s last major work, which is composed of two unfinished Faust plays, Luste, or the Crystal Girl and The Only One. Plays also presents three allegorical verse plays that were written for music and performed at the Paris Opera: Amphion and Semiramis, with music by Arthur Honegger; and The Narcissus Cantata, with music by Germaine Tailleferre.
The Collected Works of Paul Valéry, the first collected edition of the writer in English, features new translations, the original French on facing pages for poetic works, and editorial notes.
Paul Valéry (1871–1945) was a French poet, essayist, and critic and a major figure in twentieth-century literature. In addition to his poetry, his best-known works include the novel Monsieur Teste and his posthumously published Notebooks.
