Synopsis
Excerpt from Literary Impressions 'The good critic, ' says Anatole France, 'is he who relates the adventures of his own soul among masterpieces.' The sentence might be printed as a motto on each of the eight volumes of M. Jules Lemaitre's Les Contemporains, from which the essays in this book have been selected. For no writer, except Anatole France himself, was a more successful practitioner of personal and impressionist criticism than M. Jules Lemaitre. If in the confrontation of forces caused, or rather made evident, by the Dreyfus affair, the two men found themselves in opposite camps, and if afterwards they receded farther from one another rather than drew closer together, there are striking fundamental resemblances between them.

Literary Impressions (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an assemblage of literary criticism of the works of prominent French writers by the author, a leading figure of French literature during his day. The author's style is often regarded as unmatched for its vivid, supple, and unconventional use of the French language. This book provides literary criticism as disguised romances, arguing that every romance is an autobiography and that philosophy is poetry in essence. The author suggests that the value of criticism lies in prolonging and intensifying our own sensations, as our personalities differ, and so every reader understands a work of art differently.
