Of Philippe in English
Most of Philippe’s works listed above are still readily available in French. Although three novels, Bubu de Montparnasse, Le Père Perdrix and Marie Donadieu, have been published in English translations, all are long out of print. Though T.S. Eliot prefaced the first English translation of Bubu de Montparnasse, little has been published on Philippe in English, and nothing in book form.
- Bubu of Montparnasse, Charles-Louis Philippe translated by Laurence Vail, with a Preface by T.S. Eliot, Crosby Continental Editions, Paris (1932). New Edition, Shakespeare House, New York (1951).
