Abstract
Since the death of Albert Bèguin and the retirement of Marcel Raymond, Georges Poulet has emerged as the leader of an important group of literary critics who are bound somewhat loosely together by common methodological presuppositions. The group is sometimes called 'The Geneva School,' since most of its members have been associated in one way or another with the University of Geneva. The group includes Jean Rousset, Jean Starobinski, and Jean-Pierre Richard as well as the three older critics already mentioned. This essay is an attempt to assess the significance of the many books and essays Poulet has published since 1963. I shall also set Poulet's criticism tentatively against the challenging new developments in literary criticism appearing now in Paris under the impact of structuralism and current reinterpretations of Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud.
