Hazel Barnes

A collection of letters from Dr. Hazel E. Barnes to Andrew Jantz, a friend and fellow existentialist. They date from 2002 till her death in 2008. Her letters express her reflections on philosophy and culture, and perhaps just as interesting, her day to day life in Colorado with her partner, and their many travels. Dr. Barnes was crucial, both through her translations and her own writings, in importing French existentialism into America during the mid-twentieth century. Those interested in the life, works and philosophy of Dr. Barnes should find these letters insightful.
