La langue secrète de Jean Cocteau

By Jennifer Hatte

Subjects: Cocteau, jean, 1889-1963, Criticism and interpretation, French literature, history and criticism, 20th century

Description: Well, I'm the author, so I should know! The book is a new interpretation of the deeper meaning of Jean Cocteau's works as a whole, based around an analysis of his novel <i> Les Enfants terribles</i> in the light of the constantly recurring ideas and metaphors which appear in everything he produced. — Jennifer Hatte
