Description
Excerpt from The Red Lily
Criticism appears to Anatole France the most recent and possibly the ultimate evolution of literary expres sion, admirably suited to a highly civilized society, rich in souvenirs and old traditions. It proceeds, in his opinion, from philosophy and history, and demands for its development an absolute intellectual liberty It is the last in date of all literary forms, and it will end by absorbing them all. To be perfectly frank the critic should say: ''gentlemen, I propose to enlarge upon my own thoughts concerning Shakespeare, Racine, Pascal, Goethe, or any other writer.
