A landmark work of literary and cultural history, Published in Paris chronicles the extraordinary flourishing of English-language publishing that took place in Paris between the two World Wars. Hugh Ford meticulously documents the visionary writers, printers, and small-press publishers who converged on the French capital, transforming it into the epicentre of modernist literature. The book uncovers the stories behind legendary figures such as Sylvia Beach, Robert McAlmon, and Harry Crosby, as well as the landmark works they helped bring into the world — from James Joyce's Ulysses to the poetry of Ezra Pound. Written with scholarly authority yet accessible enthusiasm, and featuring a foreword by the celebrated journalist Janet Flanner, this essential volume stands as the definitive account of one of the most fertile and daring periods in the history of literature.
