Extract

The critics and biographers of Edouard Rod have almost without exception failed to mention the emotional experience which inspired his best novels. Beuchat, in describing Rod's sojourn at Geneva from 1886 to 1893, does refer briefly and inadequately to his love for André Gladès. His statement, which suggests only incompletely the influence of André Gladès on the composition of Rod's novels, needs to be amplified and clarified. For, notwithstanding Rod's own confession that she more than any other person influenced his subsequent literary career, other critics have ignored the existence of André Gladès and have consequently failed to give a complete and accurate interpretation of his work and its sources of inspiration.
