Andre Gide 1869-1951 Below you can find a list of recommended biographies and critical texts about André Gide. The online center for Gidian Studies owns each of the texts listed below as well as additional reference and research material. If you are unable to find these books through your own library or bookstore and need information for research purposes, please contact the online center for Gidian Studies. We have broken the list of books into two categories: Biographies are books that focus on all aspects of Gide's life and works. Critical texts concern themselves with some specific aspect of Gidian study (i.e. theatre, greek mythology, pedagogy). We will be the first to admit that all of Gide's biographies are critical texts on his works and the critical texts all have biographical elements to them. There is never a clear definition between Gide's life and his work. selected biographies André Gide by Albert Guerard (Harvard University Press, 1951) André Gide by David Walker (St. Martin's Press, 19901) André Gide: A Critical Biography by George D.
