Writing in the Shadow
The first complete national and international survey in the English language of the clandestine newspapers and books published in the occupied countries of Europe during the Second World War. A man with earphones crouching in the attic listening in with a crystal set, a prisoner writing fearfully even in the condemned cell, youths taking courses in weightlifting so as to be able to carry cases of lead type with apparent ease: these are just some of the people who helped produce clandestine newspapers and books in the occupied countries of Europe during the Second World War. Writing in the Shadow describes the risks these people ran and the ingenuity and brilliant improvisation they used to hoodwink the Nazis and distribute newsletters to tens of thousands of people.

The French Writers' War, 1940-1953
The French Writers' War, 1940–1953, is a remarkably thorough account of French writers and literary institutions from the beginning of the German Occupation through France's passage of amnesty laws in the early 1950s. To understand how the Occupation affected French literary production as a whole, Gisèle Sapiro uses Pierre Bourdieu's notion of the "literary field." Sapiro surveyed the career trajectories and literary and political positions of 185 writers. She found that writers' stances in relation to the Vichy regime are best explained in terms of institutional and structural factors, rather than ideology. Examining four major French literary institutions, from the conservative French Academy to the Comité national des écrivains, a group formed in 1941 to resist the Occupation, she chronicles the institutions' histories before turning to the ways that they influenced writers' political positions. Sapiro shows how significant institutions and individuals within France's literary field exacerbated their loss of independence or found ways of resisting during the war and Occupation, as well as how they were perceived after Liberation.
Abrégé d'une histoire vivante de la littérature d'aujourd'hui (2)
Dans le deuxième tome de cet « Abrégé d'une histoire vivante de la littérature d'aujourd'hui », Pierre de Boisdeffre a mis l'accent sur les œuvres et les courants, qui définissent la Nouvelle littérature française. Poésie de tradition, poésie informelle, poètes d'outre-mer ; théâtre d'idées et anti-théâtre ; critique universitaire et nouvelle critique se trouvent tour à tour confrontés. Enfin, plus de 400 notices, regroupées par ordre alphabétique à la fin du volume, offrent au lecteur un dictionnaire des écrivains d'aujourd'hui.
