With translations of selected poems and prose from Le Cornet à dés by Judith Morganroth Schneider.

Sydney Lévy's innovative study is the first to apply modern critical theories to Jacob's important collection of poems, Le Cornet à dés (The Dice Cup, 1917), and to establish his contribution to the development of the modern text.
