Currently over 5,000 titles are listed online as <a href="https://simoneweil.library.ucalgary.ca">Simone Weil Bibliography </a>(https://simoneweil.library.ucalgary.ca/) . With Debra's untimely death in July 2012, the English language material will no longer be annotated, but I will continue to post updates to the bibliography and to this blog.Saundra Liptonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08354677608134538221noreply@blogger.comBlogger232125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260111358786097066.post-51024906543237521002024-01-29T10:55:00.000-08:002024-01-29T10:55:32.240-08:00Forthcoming Book on Hannah Arendt and Simone Weil<p> <i>Hannah Arendt and Simone Weil: Unprecedented Conversations</i></p><p>This collection of articles edited by Kathryn Lawson and Joshua Livingstone will be available in February.
