The fact that there are 13 essays in this edition is, I believe, a testament to CamusÕs relevance in the twenty-first century. Included are a variety of essays, all of which explore Camus and his works from a plethora of positions, from American and European scholars Ñ a couple of whom are still undergraduates and show exceptional promise as academics. Also included are the essays from the 2011 joint meeting of UK and USA Albert Camus societies, which was held in early autumn in London.
