D'autres auteurs l'ont encore plus avili, (le roman, ) en y m�lant les tableaux degoutant du wee; et tandis que le premier avantage des fictions est de rassembler autour de l'homme tout cc qui, dans la nature, peut lui servir de lecon ou de modele, on a. Magine qu'on tireralt une utilit� quelconque des peintures odieuses de mauvaises mceurs; comme si elles pouvaxent jamms lmsser le cceur qui les repousse, dans une sxtuation aussi pure que le cosur qui les aurait toujours ignor�es. Mans nu roman tel qu'on pent le concevoir, tel que nous en avons quelques modeles, est une des plus belles productlons de l'esprit humain, une des plus mfiuentes sur la morale des mdi vidus, qm doit former ensuite les maeurs publiques. - madame DE stael. Essa: sur les ctzons.
