The present anthology offers a generous collection of her work, including essays never before translated into English and many that have long been out of print. It amply confirms Elizabeth Hardwick's words that Simone Weil was \"one of the most brilliant and original minds of twentieth-century France\" and \"a woman of transcendent intellectual gifts and the widest learning.\" A longtime Weil scholar, Sian Miles has selected essays representative of the wide sweep of Weil's work and provides a superb introduction that places Weil's work in context of her life and times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSiân Miles\u003c\/b\u003e, the editor of \u003ci\u003eSimone Weil: An Anthology\u003c\/i\u003e, has been a recognized expert on the life and work of Simone Weil for many years.
