Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lamartine, 1790-1869: Extrait de la Revue Moderne; Portrait a l'Eau-Forte par Martial
Ils ont ete la fin du vieux siecle et le vrai commencement des temps modernes; ils ont donne - le signal a toutes les renommees, a toutes les gloires de nos premiers jours de liberte et d'esperance. Ils sont venus a l'heure ou la France etait de gloire assouvie, et tout aspirante aux libertes pressenties. Poetes nouveaux dans la forme et nouveaux dans la pensee, Lamartine et Victor Hugo, effrayants quand l'inspiration arrive et qu'il faut obeir Le dieu! Voici le dieu!
