About This Book

L'essai examine la littérature anglaise contemporaine en choisissant des esprits représentatifs pour dégager tendances nationales et européennes. L'étude analyse romanciers, poètes, historiens et philosophes, décrivant l'enquête anglaise sur l'homme, la préoccupation morale et la précision analytique, ainsi que la tendance du XIXe siècle à soumettre croyances et institutions à l'examen personnel et scientifique. Par des études détaillées — notamment sur l'imagination, les types de personnages et la moralité chez certains romanciers — l'auteur compare auteurs anglais et homologues étrangers, identifie catégories sociales et artistiques, et propose une synthèse critique des idées sur Dieu, la nature, la science, l'art et la morale.

Taine's contributions have left a lasting impact on literary criticism and historical analysis.
