3 unusual facts about Georges Poulet


Georges Poulet

His work has had a lasting influence on critics such as J. Hillis Miller.

In these four volumes, Poulet conducts an exhaustive examination of the work of French authors such as Molière, Proust, Flaubert, and Baudelaire to find the expression of what he calls the cogito, or consciousness, of each writer (Leitch et al. 1318).

Although many of his ideas have fallen from critical favour, Poulet's influence can still be seen in the work of J. Hillis Miller.
