Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau 5 July 1889 - 11 October 1963 was a French poet novelist dramatist designer boxing manager playwright and filmmaker. Along with other Surrealists of his generation Jean Anouilh and René Char for example Cocteau grappled with the "algebra" of verbal codes old and new mise en scène language and technologies of modernism to create a paradox: a classical avant-garde. His circle of associates friends and lovers included Jean Marais Henri Bernstein Colette Édith Piaf whom he cast in one of his one act plays entitled Le Bel Indifferent in 1940 and Raymond Radiguet. His work was played out in the theatrical world of the Grands Theatres the Boulevards and beyond during the Parisian epoque he both lived through and helped define and create. His versatile unconventional approach and enormous output brought him international acclaim. Wallace Fowlie 1908-1998 was an American writer and professor of literature. He was the James B. Duke Professor of French Literature at Duke University where he taught from 1964 to the end of his career. Although he published more than twenty books he was devoted to teaching particularly undergraduate courses in French Italian and modernist literature. Took his A.B. at Harvard College in 1930 then a Master's in 1933 and a Ph.D. in 1936 also at Harvard. Before coming to Duke in 1964 he taught at Bennington College University of Chicago and Yale University. Fowlie was also noted for his correspondence with literary figures such as Henry Miller René Char Jean Cocteau André Gide Saint-John Perse Marianne Moore and Anaïs Nin. He is best known for his translations of Arthur Rimbaud which were appreciated by a younger generation that included Jim Morrison whose work Fowlie also became a scholar of and Patti Smith. In 1990 Fowlie consulted with director Oliver Stone on the film The Doors. From the forties onward Fowlie filled a vacuum in academia. There was room for a great teacher and explainer of significant modern French poets and writers in America and England. For several decades Fowlie was the pre-eminent critic of French literature in America something which earned him a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship in 1947.4 He published book after book on the great French writers he revered including Mallarmé and Rimbaud. He was the first translator of Rimbaud in English: his Rimbaud Complete Works Selected Letters appeared in 1966. This work aligned him with his friend Henry Miller whose work he championed and brought Rimbaud to a new generation of fans — and with it the acknowledgment and gratitude of rock stars Patti Smith and Jim Morrison. Morrison wrote Fowlie a letter which he forgot about until his students played him the music of the Doors. He quickly recognized Rimbaud's influence in the lyrics. Then he remembered and retrieved the letter. As an octogenarian he published Rimbaud and Jim Morrison: The Rebel As Poet. Criterion Books hardcover
