About this book
Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature by Georg Brandes comes in six volumes, and the volume marked V is The Romantic School in France. The contents list names The Political Background, The Generation of 1830, Romanticism, Charles Nodier and Balzac, among others. The text says Madame de Staël in her Corinne had represented the gifted woman as a being of great and commanding talent, while George Sand, in Lélia, represented her as a great sibyl.
A section headed Romanticism says that at first Romanticism was, in its essence, merely a spirited defence of localisation in literature. The text says of a character that he becomes the literary and dramatic critic of an impudent, stupid newspaper and, loved and supported by an actress, sinks ever deeper in the life led by the man who has sold his pen. The text says that one evening in September 1830 Lamennais, entering Hugo's room, found him writing.
