Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Lamartine, Vol. 1 In a sense, it may be claimed that Lamartine was his own biographer. The thread of his material and psychological existence meanders through the volumes of "Les Confidences," "Les Nouvelles Confidences," the pages of his first and second Oriental Voyages, the "Mémoires politiques," and the "History of the Revolution of 1848." "Graziella" and "Raphael" are episodes in his own life, spiritualized and glossed with the romanticism inseparable from the period. Even "Jocelyn" is a portrait, albeit a shadowy one. "For those who love the man in Lamartine (and their number is great)," wrote Sainte-Beuve, "´Jocelyn´ must have a biographical, or at least a very precious psychological value... ´Jocelyn´ is very often Lamartine midst slightly altered surroundings,... an almost direct revelation of one of the most divine organizations of a poet which has been vouchsafed the world, and concerning one of the noblest creatures." Again, the twenty-eight large volumes of Lamartine´s "Cours familier de littérature," the bread-winning venture of his declining years, teem with personal reminiscences, while the prefaces and the commentaries to the countless poems, essays, and histories contained in the forty volumes of his collected works bristle with the "ego" rarely, if ever, disassociated from his theme. And yet, paradoxical as it may appear, these thousands of personal "revelations" tend in reality to confuse and obscure an appreciation of the flesh and blood Lamartine.
