Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from L'volution Psychologique Et la Litt'rature en Angleterre, 1660-1914
Chapitre I Le rythme psychologique et les influences sociales. Le besoin d'ordonner selon des lignes claires notre pass' moral est vivace et obstin'. Depuis que l'histoire litt'raire a pris conscience d'elle-m'me, elle a cherch' sans cesse sortir du simple expos' des faits. En France, deux tentatives c'l'bres sont encore pr'sentes nos m'moires celle de Taine, pour rattacher le d'veloppement des litt'ratures des causes externes et imp'rieuses; celle de Brune ti're, pour transporter le principe de cette deter mination dans le domaine litt'raireun'me, mais en lui laissant encore quelque chose de formel et d'ext'rieur.
