About this book
French Classics is by William Cleaver Wilkinson, who is named as Professor of Poetry and Criticism in the University of Chicago. The text names Mr. Saintsbury as a well-informed writer who diffuses himself perhaps too widely to do his best possible work, but has made French literature a specialty and is in general a trustworthy authority on the subject. The text says it is bound to say that the work of Mr. Van Laun is of very poor quality.
A passage describes sacred domains of peace that neither Jealousy, nor Distrust, nor Fears, nor vain Desires invade, where the day is here without end, and the shades of night are unknown. A character named José says, What I saw and what I dreamed as I played, you saw too! Thank you, Brulette; through you I know now that I am not crazy.
