Abstract:
It would perhaps be unfair to say that no French writer within the last half century has received as much attention as Jean Giraudoux; however, it would be less than just to ignore the proofs of esteem and affection rendered him since his untimely death in 1944. Streets and buildings have been named in Giraudoux's honor. A street in Paris bears his name; his old school in Chateauroux is now called the Lycee Jean Giraudoux. This is a type of recognition not frequently given to equally famous authors.
