First published in 1961, Sartre: The Origins of a Style is a striking attempt "not merely to analyze Sartre's work formally , from an aesthetic perspective but above all to replace Sartre in literary history itself." As a study of Sartre's writings this work articulates the antagonism between the modernist tradition and Sartrean narrative or stylistic procedures.
