The French Impressionists (1860-1900) They range themselves along the line of a somewhat erratic development, from Baudelaire, through Goncourt, by way of Zola, to the surprising originality of so disconcerting an exception to any and every order of things.

Renée Mauperin New York, for a young man who had frequented the Goncourts and Flaubert, and who thought the life of ideas the only one worth living! The Age of Innocence No doubt the Goncourts, in their passion for the inédit, leave out certain things because they are obvious, even if they are obviously true and obviously important; that is the defect of their quality. Figures of Several Centuries Goncourt's statement is eloquent and suggestive enough; I leave it a naked simple truth; but I would put by its side another naked simple truth. Confessions of a Young Man Now it is difficult to keep asunder the names of Goncourt and Degas. Promenades of an Impressionist The younger Goncourt died of his failure before he was forty; the elder underwent almost the same monotony of defeat during nearly thirty years of life that remained to him.

Initiation into Literature Goncourt makes us feel that whatever is fit to occur in the world is fit to be spoken of by him who knows how to speak of it. Impressions and Comments The head of De Goncourt gives in a few touches—Carrière is ever master of the essential—the irritable pontiff of literary impressionism. Promenades of an Impressionist The Goncourts draw a broad, primary distinction between ancient and modern literature: the first deals mainly with generalities, the second with details. Renée Mauperin Whenever the Goncourts give us an idea, an opinion, or a doctrine, it is as well to be wary in accepting it.
