Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classic French Letters: Selected and Edited With Notes The literary interest is much more complex. In my Opinion, the first and indispensable requirement for this is that the letters reveal to us the writer, not his Opinions or his history, but the man himself, in his weakness and his strength, his unreasoned tastes and his unfounded prejudices; they must be letters and not essays. Whatever does not meet this need may have great interest and value, but must rank in an other class. I know of course the danger and the difficulty of classification; if any one chooses to pro nounce Burke's Letter on the French Revolution or the correspondence between Goethe and Schiller the very ideal of letter-writing, there is nothing to be said. But the ordinary man would shrink with horror and alarm at the receipt of such letters, and the judgment of the ordinary man on such a point must be accepted as conclusive.

The woman next me I have not yet had the courage to say good morning to; she is - well - you and I would call it stout, but she has a mind of a different order, and thinks herself sweetly plump, and assures the rag-doll lady that the reason she eats so little is because she is afraid she will become stout.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters and Leadership I do not mean that M. De Lanux develops this general thesis. But it is, I believe, the matrix of his argument. And it implies that if we are to develop this common aim, if we are to unite in this common programme, it is of the highest importance for us to understand the unique conditions that hamper the creative life in each individual country. What we want is the fullest and the freest expression of every people along the lines of its own genius, for it is of the nature of the creative spirit that its manifestations cannot con ict with one another and that the more various they are the richer and the more harmonious life becomes. That is why M. De Lanux, in selecting certain of our writers to translate into French, says that the more genuinely American they are the more France will be inclined to welcome them.

Download or read book A History of French Literature written by William Albert Nitze and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of French Literature: From the Earliest Times to the Great War The present History of French Literature, intended both for the general reader and for students, does not aim to be exhaus tive. It is divided into three parts: Medieval, Renaissance and Modern; and within these parts it emphasizes in turn the chief literary movements and writers, leaving minor tendencies and figures out of consideration or mentioning them only inci dentally. Mere lists of names and dates, valuable as they are for reference, belong rather to bibliography than to literary his tory as such. Thus our aim has been to give a connected ao count oi the main currents of French literature from the earliest times down to the present day. In this attempt we have had several further considerations to guide us. In the first place, the book is written primarily for American and English readers. The one key to literary treasures is not erudition but sympathy. Needless to say, we would instill in our readers a liking for French literature; but such sympathy will come only through an appreciation of the French, as distinguished from the anglo-saxon, point of view. Hence the introductory chapter on the Spirit of French Letters and, in the body of the book, the frequent references to what appear to be dominant French traits. Another result of this method is the attention we give to the historical and social background. Whether we have succeeded or not, we have consistently tried to depict for each age the historical and social elements that produced it; briefly of course, with the ex pectation that the reader will complete the outline by reference to works dealing directly with these subjects.

Download or read book The Great Modern French Stories written by Willard Huntington Wright and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-07 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Modern French Stories: A Chronological Anthology Mme. De Stael, however, had much to do with the liberal izing Of French letters. On the formal and aesthetic side Of literature her in uence was nugatory, but she reacted in a salutary manner against the cramping restrictions Of the purely classic viewpoint. She brought new, if borrowed, ideas to the novel; she broadened its outlook; and she awakened in the younger generation of writers a spirit Of freedom and intrepidity. It was the fecundity of her thought which enriched all the serious fiction writing which fol lowed her. Her Delphine and Corinne, though scarcely read today, played very much the same part in the devel Opment Of French fiction that the works of Richter and Goethe played in the development Of German fiction. The novel became a medium not for esthetic form but for esthetic ideas. In her the literature Of her country donned the garb of cosmopolitanism.

Download or read book When The World Spoke French written by Marc Fumaroli and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Review Books Original During the eighteenth century, from the death of Louis XIV until the Revolution, French culture set the standard for all of Europe. In Sweden, Austria, Italy, Spain, England, Russia, and Germany, among kings and queens, diplomats, military leaders, writers, aristocrats, and artists, French was the universal language of politics and intellectual life. In When the World Spoke French, Marc Fumaroli presents a gallery of portraits of Europeans and Americans who conversed and corresponded in French, along with excerpts from their letters or other writings. These men and women, despite their differences, were all irresistibly attracted to the ideal of human happiness inspired by the Enlightenment, whose capital was Paris and whose king was Voltaire. Whether they were in Paris or far away, speaking French connected them in spirit with all those who desired to emulate Parisian tastes, style of life, and social pleasures. Their stories are testaments to the appeal of that famous “sweetness of life” nourished by France and its language.
