Bibliography
Most of the letters and several of the verses were edited and annotated by Michel Lioure and published in 'Lettres de Paul Claudel à élisabeth Sainte-Marie Perrin et à Audrey Parr' (Cahiers Paul Claudel, 13, 1990). A letter and a postcard, MSS Add.9591/70 and 109, were not published by Lioure. He misdated MS Add.9591/129 as 25 June 1937, whereas its true date is 25 June 1939: its recipient is addressed as Colville rather than Parr, and the issue of the New Statesman referred to is that with Audrey Colville's translation 'The Song of the Rhône' (The New Statesman and Nation, Vol. XVII, No. 434, new series, 17 June 1939, p. 932).
