Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Monday-Chats Sainte-Beuve, the finest critical spirit of our time. - Matthew Arnold. Such admirable biographical essays in so small a compass are nowhere else to be found. They are miniatures of the most excellent workmanship. - Edinburgh Review. In point of literary execution and critical power the "Causeries" have challenged the admiration of all competent judges. There is nothing equal to them, in their line, in any language. - Westminster Review. We, in England, rarely undertake a subject, falling within the department of letters, that has attained to European interest, without turning first to see what Sainte-Beuve has said about it... He was never provoked into coarseness. His thrusts were made with the small-sword according to the received rules of fence: he firmly upheld the honor of his calling, and in the exercise of it was uniformly fearless, independent and incorrupt. - London Quarterly Review. It is impossible to speak of literary portraits without mentioning M. Ste. Beuve. He has drawn an incredible number of them, all worked out in the most delicate and careful manner, and highly prized by amateurs... A keen psychologist, he knows the secret links that bind things together; he has an unrivalled faculty for seizing the relative elements of truths and opinions; he identifies himself so thoroughly with those he judges that he forgets to judge them; he understands everything, adapts himself to everything, enters into everything... There is nothing triumphant in his manner; it is all allusion and charm, the result of half-conscious, half-unconscious art. - Edmond Schérer, as translated in the Westminster Review. To praise the talent of Sainte-Beuve would be a superfluous work: public opinion has slowly become accustomed to consider him as the first critic of our time. - Viscount D´Haussonville.
