Description
Preface: Born in Amiens, September 2, 1852, Paul Bourget was a pupil at the Lycee Louis le Grand, and then followed a course at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes, intending to devote himself to Greek philology. He, however, soon gave up linguistics for poetry, literary criticism, and fiction. When yet a very young man, he became a contributor to various journals and reviews, among others to the ?Revue des deux Mondes, La Renaissance, Le Parlement, La Nouvelle Revue?, etc. He has since given himself up almost exclusively to novels and fiction, but it is necessary to mention here that he also wrote poetry. His poetical works comprise: ?Poesies (1872?876), La Vie Inquiete (1875), Edel (1878), and Les Aveux (1882)'.
