First published in 1918, and reprinted in 1924 and 1955, this
volume gathers together some of the more important writings of
Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve (1804 69), the renowned French
literary critic who moved in the same circles as Victor Hugo.
Although Sainte-Beuve was sometimes condemned as a literary
dilettante during his lifetime, his lack of a formal system of
critical principles can be seen as the reason for the longevity of
his works; literature is regarded as an expression of personality
and is thus approached in a highly personal, original manner.
Consummately edited by Arthur Tilley, the text contains a broad
cross section of articles from 1835 to 1864, together with a
34-page introduction. This is a fascinating book that will be of
value to anyone with an interest in literature or literary
criticism.
