June 19, 1879 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "Lectures on French Poets. Delivered at the Royal Institution," Walter Herries Pollock. Pollock has not attempted much criticism, his work is biographic rather. He introduces people to the men who founded the romantic school of France, describes the great contest of 1829, and the early years of its strength, and aims at interesting those who are unfamiliar with it, and leading them to read. His purpose and method are both excellent, he lets the poets reveal themselves by their own words and acts, and has woven his narrative very skillfully of delightful quotation and instructive comment.
