GIDE (André). On Influence in Literature. Lecture delivered at the Libre Esthétique in Brussels on March 29, 1900. Paris, Petite Collection de l’Ermitage, 1900. In-8, 38 pp., Bradel-bound with a caramel-colored shagreen title label on the front cover; covers intact. First edition, limited to 150 numbered copies on Van Gelder Holland paper (no. 102). Very fine copy. Long before the current debates on the role of artificial intelligence in literature, Gide reflects here on literary influence, which he defends: far from threatening a writer’s originality, influences can nourish and enrich their creative work. The text was later reprinted in *Prétextes* in 1903.
