Denis de Rougemont & Jean Paulhan, 1926-1961
Denis de RougemontJean PaulhanThe correspondence of Denis de Rougemont with Jean Paulhan was posted online by Nicolas Stenger and Jonathan Samuel Wenger, Swiss researchers, on the website of the University of Geneva.
Noticed by Paulhan in 1926 for his essays and reading notes in the Revue de Genève, Denis de Rougemont actively collaborated with the NRF from 1931. The correspondence provides information on the working relationships of the two writers, on the “Cahier de demands” that Rougemont coordinated at the request of Paulhan in 1932, on friends common to the two men, such as André Gide and Saint-John Perse. So much information on intellectual life, publishing and the critical press in France from the 1930s to the 1960s.
Jean Paulhan's letters are kept in the Denis de Rougemont Fund of the Public and University Library of Neuchâtel (BPUN), under ID2256.
Denis de Rougemont's letters are preserved in the archives of Jean Paulhan at the Institut Mémoires de l'édition contemporain (IMEC). We warmly thank IMEC, as well as Claire Paulhan who was kind enough to digitize these letters and authorized us to publish them. A draft letter from Rougemont to Paulhan is also kept at the BPUN, under ID1332.
