Critics Review
A penetrating introduction to the romantic rationalist, novelist and penseur
A penetrating introduction to the romantic rationalist, novelist and penseur * The Times *
Iris Murdoch’s concise study… reads as clear and logical as it did in 1953, and remains one of the best friends to anyone who wants to understand what existentialism was all about * Evening Standard *
With a cool and luminous introduction…Sartre: Romantic Rationalist is all about the thinker, about his philosophy and his novels… Her fair if unflattering book is the best way in to what finally matters to Sartre * Observer *
A remarkably intelligent and penetrating introduction to Sartre * Times Literary Supplement *
