His interventions in the key debates of the period helped to consolidate his position as a major intellectual alongside Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. This book examines the evolution of François Mauriac's career during the twentieth century, and his gradual transformation from novelist to intellectual. Situating Mauriac and his activities firmly in their socio-cultural context, it draws in particular on the insights provided by Bourdieusian sociology to explore the mechanisms and social processes which allow Mauriac to emerge as an authoritative voice of moral conscience. In doing so, it offers new perspective on key moments in his career, from his changing fortunes as a novelist in the 1930s, examined here for the first time through the prism of his reception by the influential Nouvelle Revue française , to his unlikely collaboration with the then-radical L'Express in the 1950s. At the same time, it argues that tracing Mauriac's trajectory helps to crystallise the broader changes affecting the literary and cultural landscape in France during the twentieth century. 410 0$aFaux Titre ;$v290. 517 3 $aThe Making of an Intellectual 606 $aIntellectuals$zFrance$y20th century 606 $aJournalists$zFrance$y20th century 615 0$aIntellectuals 615 0$aJournalists 676 $a843/.912 700 $aWelch$b Edward$0277297 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810783703321 996 $aFrançois Mauriac$94018665 997 $aUNINA
