| Summary | "Twentieth Century French Writers: Reviews and Reminiscences" by Madame Mary Duclaux is a collection of literary reviews written in the early 20th century. The work examines various French writers who emerged in the early period of the 20th century, reflecting the evolving landscape of French literature in the wake of World War I. It discusses notable figures, their unique contributions, and the cultural context surrounding their works, aiming to provide readers with insight into the literary movements during this transformative era. The beginning of this literary analysis sets the stage for understanding the challenges of capturing the dynamic literary scene of early 20th century France. Duclaux expresses her remorse for the many noteworthy authors she couldn't include, drawing parallel comparisons between herself and Saint Augustine's metaphor of a child trying to fill a shell with the sea. Her pre-war preface outlines her focus on writers who represent a new, bold literary movement moving away from 19th-century traditions. She offers a brief overview of the diverse literary figures she intends to cover, from Maurice Barrès to Romain Rolland, while acknowledging the complexities of categorizing and selecting among contemporary authors reflective of the cultural shifts and sentiments of the time.
