Abstract

The 40-letter correspondence concerning the French translation ofThe General Theory, between John Maynard Keynes and his translator, Jean de Largentaye, is a testimony of their close collaboration, which also involved Piero Sraffa in 1938 and 1939. Largentaye’s lexicon appears at the end of the French edition, providing definitions in French of technical terms used by Keynes. After its publication by Payot in 1942, the French edition ofThe General Theorywas well received in France and no doubt contributed to the economic and social successes of the country in the subsequent 25 years.
