Abstract

Four Frenchmen
December 11, 1890 issue

add to cart   close window

The article critically apprises the book "Four Frenchmen," by Austin Dobson. The book was written some twenty or thirty years ago. This is the work of a clever youth who, four times in succession rose, from reading a single volume on a subject new to him and immediately put his reading into writing. The first sketch is disfigured by a youthful extravagance of coloring that makes equally impossible any delicate character-drawing or any poetic delineation. The book is based on eighteenth century characters.
