Sayre brings a special kind of literary intelligence to his study of the problem of isolation in modern society. He first discusses the notion of solitude as it is treated in classical literature and carries it through to the nineteenth century, with emphasis on the literary history of France. In the second part of the book he presents detailed interpretations of five twentieth-century French novels.
