Life
The NRF from friendly writers André Gide, Jean Schlumberger, Michelle Arnauld ( Marcel Drouin ), André Ruyter, Henri and Jacques Copeau Ghéon launched in 1909 to life - was from elitist spirit out - after a first unsuccessful attempt of 1908. The line was from 1910 to 1914 and from 1919 to 1925 with Jacques Rivière. 1911 with Les Éditions de la Nouvelle Revue Française (NRF ) founded by Gaston Gallimard has its own publishing house, which spawned today's Gallimard publishing house.
Was the most glorious time of the journal Between the First and Second World War. Regular contributions by literary critics such as Albert Thibaudet, Benjamin Crémieux and Valéry Larbaud and the publications of different authors such as Henri Barbusse, Louis Aragon, Pierre Drieu la Rochelle and André Malraux justified the reputation and influence of the NRF that despite the political radicalization of the new currents ( Surrealism, Dadaism ) represented the most contradictory opinions openly and independently.
Under Drieu la Rochelle, the magazine was from 1940 to 1943 to an organ of collaboration after the last NRF was published in June 1940 before the German occupation. Between 1944 and 1953 it was forbidden.
From 1953, the NRF was founded under the title Nouvelle NRF again and established with the chief editors Jean Paulhan and Marcel Arland to the time before 1940. Even with the new name they had great influence on French intellectual life since 1959 and appears again under the name Nouvelle Revue française.
