Renan
Grendon, Felix | August 17, 1921 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Ernest Renan," by Lewis Freeman Mott. Author Mott's book is the first adequate estimate in English letters of essayist Ernest Renan's career and work. Such an estimate has been long overdue. No one aiming at a modern intellectual equipment can afford to ignore the distinguished writer who contributed so much to the literary glory of France in the nineteenth century. Renan was much more than the most admired prose stylist of his day. In his own specific department as a humanist and an historian of the origins of Christianity, Renan exercised an enormous influence on European thought, an influence not to be measured by any mere rise or decline in his established reputation.
