Excerpt from Modern French Literature It is impossible to know a people well without an acquaintance with its literature. This is especially true with reference to France. In no other country is literature so emphatically the expression of society. The changes of opinion and sentiment within the last eighteen years have been faithfully represented by the various productions of the press. Since 1830, the incessant activity of the French mind has annually yielded in books, pamphlets, and monthly, weekly and daily journals, a quantity of printed matter which would form in octavo leaves, counting the copies of each edition, an average of two hundred and forty million volumes. In this mass are many worthless and worse than worthless productions, by some of which it is feared that modern French writers are often indiscriminately judged in the United States. But there are also contained in it numerous work which are both unexceptionable in spirit and excellent in form. The editor of the present treatise was unwilling, while at Paris, to lose an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the more valuable portions of recent French literature. He was naturally desirous that the results of hi conscientious studies might be offered to the public in such a way as would tend to remove prejudices with which the subject is unfortunately connected in this country.

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.

Excerpt from A Century of French Fiction This book is a study of novels, not of novelists. It seeks to show the development of what has come to be the chief genre in the most artistic of European literatures. The limitations that this purpose involves are obvious. Biography belongs here only in so far as heredity or environment influence those qualities in an author by which he in turn influences the development of fiction. With some novelists, such as George Sand, these are very significant; with others, such as Daudet, they are hardly significant at all. The poems, dramas, or essays of novelists are usually passed in silence, though they may be, as with Sainte-Beuve, the chief title to literary distinction. And in regard to the novels themselves, this book is less concerned with what is done than with how it is done; it seeks, not to retell a story, but to convey an artistic impression, and in the space that it accords to the 115 novelists and 688 novels or short stories that it names it is less influenced by an author's popularity than by the excellence or novelty of his technic, his style, or his ideas of the functions, ethical, social, philosophical, or artistic, of the novel. Many writers are little read who have been studied by those who are read much. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Modern French Readings HE leading object of this volume is to furnish the student with progressive materials for becoming acquainted with the current language of France, under the in uences that are giving it a new phase of development. To that end the selections have been made with reference to style and vocabulary, rather than to the history of the literature, so as to enable the reader to acquire experience in the popular, social, every-day terms and idioms that characterize the writings of the French to - day. Another end in view, though somewhat more local in its origin, is to facilitate a wider range of reading to our own students than was practicable where - a large number of foreign and expensive volumes were required, of which only a limited portion of each was available. The present excerpts are intended to embrace a year's study, beginning with what is easy, and gradually advancing to the more difficult styles of Daudet and Victor Hugo. It is charitably believed, however, that what is desirable for our young gentlemen here, will be acceptable to other schools of learning, and in this confidence the book has been prepared.

Excerpt from The Story of Modern France The book is arranged for elementary history classes, and for supplementary reading as well. Some acquaint ance with the history of France is most helpful in under standing and studying literature, and English, American, Medieval, and General history. Besides, in schools where French is taught, it can serve as a work of reference for the pupils, who continually stumble across names and allusions which require elucidation. The author, there fore, hopes many schools will find this narrative useful in one or the other connection, and that it will appeal equally to teachers and pupils and perhaps to other readers also.

Excerpt from Some Modern French Writers a Study in Bergsonism What fate does the future hold in store for him! Only our grandchildren can answer that question. Still, it is permissible to foretell the future, or even, in the pragmatist's way, to make it. If we questioned Bergson himself on this point, he would tell us that his doctrine, like every product of the human brain, is a progressive thing, by no means perfect nor complete nor absolute. I am only a man; therefore you must not ask me for more than I can give. I have merely tried to get into close touch with that nature which always eludes us. For the riches of nature are inexhaustible things do not begin, nor do they end, nor are they as we see them, nor as we should wish them to be.

Excerpt from The Masters of Modern French Criticism What I have tried to do in this volume is not to criticise criticism, at best a somewhat languid business, but to criticise critics, which may be a far more legitimate task, especially if the critics happen to be, as in the present case, among the most vital and significant personalities of their time. Matthew Arnold speaks in one of his sonnets of "France, famed in all great arts, in none supreme." Yet elsewhere he accords to Sainte-Beuve a supremacy in the art of criticism of the same order as that of Homer in poetry. That Arnold was the last man to underestimate a supremacy of this kind we may infer from the familiar sentence in his essay on translating Homer: "Of the literature of France and Germany, as of the intellect of Europe in general, the main effort, for now many years, has been a critical effort." To study Sainte-Beuve and the other leading French critics of the nineteenth century is therefore to get very close to the intellectual centre of the century. We may thus follow the main movement of thought through this period and at the same time build up the necessary background for the proper understanding of the ideas of our own day, whether they continue this earlier thought or react from it.
