Jean-Paul Sartre’s Situations, contents and a guide to the English translations – updated to include all volumes

Jean-Paul Sartre’s Situations, contents and a guide to the English translations – the list has been updated to include all volumes of the first edition

Previously the list included just the first five volumes of the first edition. I added volumes VI and VII last month, and I have added the final three volumes today. All of volume X is translated, and parts of volumes VIII and IX.

The new French edition keeps the title Situations, but rearranges material and adds lots of other essays, without being anything close to a complete works. This means many essays are in different volumes of the two editions. I discussed what this means for the chronology of his exchange with Claude Lefort about communism in a separate post.

The French Wikipedia page has a useful Liste des œuvres de Jean-Paul Sartre – though the references are only to the first edition of Situations. With the English translations, some essays are translated multiple times; others don’t seem to have been translated at all. I’m unaware of plans to translate the second edition. I hope the listing is useful to someone – I’m sure I’ve missed some of the pieces which appeared in journals or other collections. Corrections and additions welcome. As with the other resource pages on this site, this is intended to be a work in progress.
