French Poets and Novelists (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from French Poets and Novelists

French memoir. Their fault is indeed that they are apparently addressed to persons whose mind is sup posed to be a blank with regard to the author of Rolla. The exactions of bookmaking alone can ex plain the long analyses and paraphrases of Alfred de Musset's comedies and tales to which Herr Lindau treats his readers - the dreariest kind of reading when an author is not in himself essentially inaccessible. Either one has not read Alfred de Musset's comedies or not felt the charm of them - in which case one will not be likely to resort to Herr Lindau's memoir - or one has read them in the charming original, and can therefore dispense with an elaborate German summary.
