Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature - 3. The Reaction in France

This is the third of six volumes of criticism on European Literature by the Danish critic and scholar Georg Brandes. The brilliant novelty of this criticism of the literature of major European countries at the beginning of the 19th century, and his description of the general revolt against the pseudo-classicism of the 18th century helped him gain acclaim outside Denmark. The third volume deals with French literature.
