Description
Focusing on a moment and a source in 19th-century France, Christopher Prendergast takes up a big question that is still with us: What is a classic? His enquiry, which centres on the French critic Sainte-Beuve (1804-69), who asked the question Quest-ce quun classique? in an essay of 1850, takes us on a tour of the history of the classic that provides insights into and beyond the culture wars of the 19th century.
