Selections from Sainte-Beuve

Omtale

Reprinted in 1924 and 1955, this 1918 volume gathers important writings of Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve (1804–69), the renowned French literary critic who moved in the same circles as Victor Hugo. Sainte-Beuve's lack of a formal system of critical principles can be seen to account for the longevity of his works.
