Fresh perspectives on the “new” post-war Giono

Approaching Giono’s post-1945 renewal based on work that rethinks the notion of the author, this study aims to emphasize the writer’s interaction with other participants in the literary world of his time: on the one hand, the public, who played an important role in the author’s refiguration process; on the other, Giono’s peers and contemporaries, who shaped or promoted the auctorial models he had to navigate in his efforts to reinvent himself.
