Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Montaigne to Moliere or the Preparation for the Classical Age, of French Literature The change which came over English poetry between the death of Shakespeare and the appearance of Pope has been traced by Mr Gosse in his well-known volume From Shakespeare to Pope. The similar change from a literature of imagination to a literature of reason which took place in France between the death of Montaigne and the production of Moliere's Les Precieuses Ridicules, or, in other words, the transition from the Renaissance to the Classical Age, is the subject of the following pages. I have not attempted to write a complete history of French literature during this period, but rather to give an account of the various forces, political, religious, social, and literary, which helped to bring about this change. Even in those chapters which deal exclusively with the literary forces, such as those on Malherbe and Corneille, there will be found nothing like a complete critical estimate of the writers. The chapter on the Catholic revival is a sketch, necessarily brief and imperfect, of a large and important subject, which still awaits its historian. The chapter entitled "The Reign of Bad Taste" deals with matters which are still the subject of considerable controversy - namely, the origin of preciosite and the influence of Italy and Spain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Montaigne: A Study Montaigne is one of those perennial sources of mental health which there needs no excuse for returning. He is always necessary and always being rediscovered. Perhaps his grand sincerity, fullness, and truth of matter, his absolute freedom from affectation of manner, are of special cathartic value for an age in which these qualities are not conspicuous. Perhaps Montaigne with his hatred for the lie, his detestation of show and sham, his fearless frankness, might help us to a quicker instinct for honesty, a readier detection of the vulpine and the vain. Even if we must echo with a sigh his own doubt whether true opinions are always the most convenient for man, yet never was it well with him who consciously withheld his worship from that altar - few are they who will not profit by sharing Montaigne's noble passion for the truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Writings of Montaigne: And Other Papers The writings of Montaigne prior to his Essays have been but little studied, yet they are of interest in themselves, and of still greater interest from containing, to some extent, indications of the origin of thoughts that are developed in the Essays, and from affording information as to various influences that affected their author's mind through life. It is this that makes it worth while, as it rarely is, to concern ourselves with the imperfect when we possess the better thing.

Download or read book Montaigne written by Alexander Vinet and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Montaigne: The Endless Study, and Other Miscellanies Those acquainted with a volume of Vinet's Essays and Discourses published by the translator a few years ago, but now out of print, under the title of Vital Christianity, will readily discover, in a modified form, some portions of that work in the present, particularly in the Introduction and in the latter part of the volume. Circumstances, over which the editor had no control, left him only this method of preserving for the use of the public, any part of that work, which was received with unusual cordiality, and served to introduce Vinet to American readers. The present volume, we think, will be found to possess a still higher interest and value, as it contains some of the finest things that Vinet wrote, and on themes of the highest moment. An apology, perhaps, is due from the translator for presuming to mingle his thoughts and explanations with the productions of such an author, in the form of Introduction, notes, and so forth. But the candid reader will allow, that as every author writes under pecuhar circumstances, and with a view to certain readers, his works may not be so well adapted to another sphere and another class of readers. This, we think, will be found peculiarly the case with the works of Vinet, who wrote chiefly for the benefit of Swiss, French, and German readers, and who mingles in all his productions allusions and references to matters, literary, religious, and philosophical, with which comparatively few American or English readers are supposed to be familiar. Our aim has been, so to translate and so to edit the following work, that it may be really useful to general readers, and thus subserve the great end for which its devout and eloquent author lived and died.
