To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
') French literature has never lost its own distinctive marks of originality, but at various times has submitted to be directed by foreign influence, although at other times it has itself been dominant and communicated its tone to the whole of Europe. In this way German llteraturs during the seventeenth and eigh- teenth centuries had been very much the mere reflex of the French; but at the beginning of the nineteenth it took an entirely new turn, receiving fresh life and elevation from itlop- s...took, Herder, Schiller, and Goethe, to whose "Faust" Madame de Stael applies the saying that it treats ' ' de omnibus rebus et quibus- dam aliis." But still, as Philarfete Chasles has observed, between France and Germany there has ever flowed the Rhine, and the credit is due to Madame de Stael for having brought across this boundary the German literature which.
received at first with a cordial welcome, still bears its prolific fruits. To that accomplished lady must be assigned the honor of national- izing among tbc French the "romanticism" which she her;?elf describes as ' ' the poetry originating in the songs of the troubadours — the ofl'spring of chivalry and Christianity." If this definition of Madame de Stagl's were correct, romanticism would have to be regard- ed as the intellect of the Romance races in conflict with the intellect of classical antiqui- ty, or simply modern genius in antagonism to the Greeks and Romans; but in reality it is nothing of the kind ; as Victor Hugo, Champ- fleury, and a hundred others have over and over again affirmed, it means nothing else but the development of liberalism in litera- ture.
