From the publisher

Philosopher, theologian, critic, sociologist, political activist -- Simone Weil was among the foremost thinkers of our time.

Best known in this country for her theological writing, Weil wrote on a great variety of subjects ranging from classical philosophy and poetry, to modern labor, to the language of political discourse. The present anthology offers a generous collection of her work, including essays never before translated into English and many that have long been out of print. It amply confirms Elizabeth Hardwick's words that Simone Weil was "one of the most brilliant and original minds of twentieth-century France" and "a woman of transcendent intellectual gifts and the widest learning." A longtime Weil scholar, Sian Miles has selected essays representative of the wide sweep of Weil's work and provides a superb introduction that places Weil's work in context of her life and times.

First line

This essay, one of Simone Weil's most powerful and beautiful, was written during the last year of her brief life, in the late winter and early spring of 1942-3.

About the author

Sin Miles, the editor of Simone Weil: An Anthology, has been a recognized expert on the life and work of Simone Weil for many years. She did postgraduate research on Simone Weil in Paris, where she was assisted by Ms. Weil's mother. Ms. Miles has also worked on numerous translations.
