These texts are a sample of previously uncollected writings by de Man. Some were published during his lifetime in prominent journals; others are little more than drafts or fragments towards future work and should be considered as such. These later texts are presented as indicative of the material contained within the UCI archive and do not stand for de Man's public output. However, in each case the texts add something new to our understanding of the de Man corpus. The two essays on art, The Drawings of Paul Valéry from 1948 (the archive translation by Richard Howard of de Man's essay, originally published in French with accompanying drawings) and Jacques Villon from 1952 (the archive translation from Swedish by Jarkko Toikkanen and Kati Toikkanen), provide us with evidence of de Man's interest in visual culture from the period after the war, when he attempted unsuccessfully to establish a press, Editions Hermès, specialising in art monographs. In these texts we see that de Man's art history is grounded in the world of ideas and that he has an interest in the theoretical avant garde: Jacques Villon was the elder brother of Marcel Duchamp. The Graduate Essay on Keats is one of several unpublished graduate papers held in the archive, from de Man's time at Harvard. The essay is perhaps the most rigorous of the set, which includes work on Baudelaire, Bachelard, Hölderlin, Wordsworth, Yeats and the critic Kenneth Burke.
