RÉGNIER HENRI DE (1864-1936)
La Vie Littéraire, autograph manuscript signed. [1934]. 6 pages in brown ink in-4.
Interesting literary chronicle on two works by Paul Valéry including
Autres Rhumbs and on Jean GIRAUDOUX's novel, Combat avec l'ange.
"If the theatre attracted Paul Valéry's attention at a certain point, he only practiced it in the form of ballet. M Valéry is the author of two scripts: an Amphion and a Sémiramis staged at Sue Rubinstein's performances. The dramatic art has made him only a brilliant but occasional recruit, while Jean Giraudoux has given the stage more constant tokens."
Henri de Régnier says here all his admiration for Paul Valéry, poet and prose writer.
