This edition marks the first complete English translation of Louis Bertrand's work. It is based on the text of the 1925 edition edited by Bertrand Guegan after Bertrand's manuscript, which after being "lost", had resurfaced at that time. Gaspard de la Nuit marked the appearance of the modern prose poem and was a watershed of inspiration for the Parnassian, Symbolist, Surrealist, and Imagist poets.
