| Summary | "Variétés Historiques et Littéraires" by Edouard Fournier is a collection of historical and literary pieces written in the mid-19th century. This volume presents rare and curious written works, both in prose and verse, accompanied by reviews and annotations. The collection likely addresses various subjects from French culture and history, offering insights into the period's literary climate and significant events. The opening of this work begins with a memorandum on the state of the Académie française, submitted to Louis XIV around the late 17th century. It discusses the decline in the academy's influence and the perceived inefficacy of its members, contrasting its previous established reputation as a governing body for the French language and literature. The text further argues for the importance of reviving interest in the academy's work and suggests methods to restore its esteem, emphasizing the connection between national pride in language and cultural sophistication. Overall, this beginning sets a historical context and establishes a critical tone regarding the vitality of literary institutions in France. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
