Sartre’s work La Reine Albemarle, undertaken in the fall of 1951, abandoned in fall 1952, is one of the texts in which his stylistic work is at its most spectacular, as we explore in this study of its main writing techniques. However, paradoxically, its stylistic success goes some way to explaining the project’s abandonment: the book ends up resorting to that “poetic prose” that Sartre warns against in his Saint Genet, which he had just finished writing.
