Introduction A l Histoire de la Littérature Anglaise (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Introduction A l'Histoire de la Litterature Anglaise

On a decouvert qu'une oeuvre litteraire n'est pas un simple jeu d'imagination, le caprice isole d'une tete chaude, mais une copie des moeurs environnantes et le signe d'un etat d'esprit. On en a conclu qu'on pouvait, d'apres les monuments litte raires, retrouver la faggg_ dont les hommes avaient senti et pense il y a plusieurs siecles. On l'a essaye et on a reussi.
