Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between esteemed literary critic Sainte-Beuve and the author, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of their friendship and professional rivalry. The author provides a detailed account of their initial encounter at a dinner party hosted by Bertin l'aînà , where the author's praise for Sainte-Beuve's contemporaries earned him respect. However, their cordial relationship was tested as the author's views on literature began to diverge from Sainte-Beuve's staunchly classical stance. The author's groundbreaking book "Studies on the History and Criticism of the Poets of Roman Decadence" sparked a divide between them. Sainte-Beuve, sensing a personal critique within the work, responded with a scathing review, labeling the author as a "Papirus Ennius" who had betrayed his classical roots. This incident marked a turning point in their friendship, as the author began to question Sainte-Beuve's critical objectivity and fairness. Through an analysis of their correspondence and public statements, this book illuminates the complexities of their relationship, highlighting the tensions between personal loyalty and intellectual integrity. The author's own evolution as a literary critic is also examined, showcasing how his early enthusiasm for the Romantics gradually gave way to a more balanced and nuanced perspective. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable contribution to the understanding of the literary and intellectual landscape of 19th-century France, shedding light on the dynamics between two influential figures and the impact their debates had on the development of French literature.
