Hand defines and situates Leiris's core themes, analyses his criticism in each of the art areas examined, and delineates the model that emerges of a contrapuntal and heterogeneous critical identity."Research monographs in French studies ;17.CriticismElectronic books.Criticism.848.91209Hand Sean421058FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910511617703321Alter Ego2552555UNINA
