THE REALISM OF LOUIS ARAGON: A STUDY OF FOUR NOVELS OF "LE MONDE REEL"

GERALD THOMAS SOUKUP, University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Abstract

After having firmly established himself as one of the foremost writers of the surrealist movement in France of the 1920's, Louis Aragon, in March of 1932, parted company once and for all with André Breton and his group in the aftermath of an episode known as the "Affaire Aragon". This definitive rupture had been developing for some time, mostly due to Aragon's ever increasing commitment to a revolutionary move- ment of a political rather than of a literary nature, the Communist Party, which he had joined a few years earlier. Breton, though sympathetic towards the concept of social and political revolution, did not believe it to be a suitable subject for literature. Aragon, on the other hand, did.
