Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romances of the French Theatre This book is not intended as - and is unlikely to be mistaken for - a philosophical disquisition on the aesthetics of the stage. Its purpose is chie y to tell stories; but to tell them without suppressing the material facts necessary to a sound judgment of the rights of the case and a well-informed criticism of certain aspects of life. It ought, of course, to be super uous for a bio grapher to justify himself for telling the truth; but, as a matter of fact, biographers are continually getting into trouble with critics of a certain school of thought for doing so. They alone among men of letters are sometimes reproached for refusing to deceive their readers. Historians, for instance, are expected not only to tell the truth if they happen to know it, but also to take a great deal of trouble to ascertain it. They can burrow in archives with impunity, and in full confidence that they will be commended for their industry and not accused of grubbing up Old scandals, or told that, when they make unpleasant discoveries, they ought to keep their knowledge to themselves.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scaramouche: A Romance of the French Revolution He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad. And that was all his patrimony. His very paternity was obscure, although the village of Gavrillac had long since dispelled the cloud of mystery that hung about it. Those simple Brittany folk were not so simple as to be deceived by a pretended relationship which did not even possess the virtue of originality. When a nobleman, for no apparent reason, announces himself the godfather of an infant fetched no man knew whence, and thereafter cares for the lad's rearing and education, the most unsophisticated of country folk perfectly understand the situation. And so the good people of Gavrillac permitted themselves no illusions on the score of the real relationship between Andre-Louis Moreau - as the lad had been named - and Quintin de Kercadiou, 'Lord of Gavrillac, who dwelt in the big grey house that dominated from its eminence the village clustering below. Andre-Louis had learnt his letters at the village school, lodged the while with old Rabouillet, the attorney, who in the capacity of fiscal intendant, looked after the affairs of M. de Kercadiou. Thereafter, at the age of fifteen, he had been packed off to Paris, to the Lycee of Louis Le Grand, to study the law which he was now returned to practise in conjunction with Rabouillet. All this at the charges of his godfather, M. de Kercadiou, who by placing him once more under the tutelage of Rabouillet would seem thereby quite clearly to be making provision for his future.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lady of the Camellias: Translated From the French, With a Critical Introduction With every man who has excelled in several directions, but particularly in one, there is a temptation for the observer of his work to slip immediately, though unconsciously, to that section of it in which his qualities are seen in most brilliant perfection. The younger Dumas was successful as a novelist, as a pamphleteer, and as a playwright, but his successes were so numerous and so sparkling on the boards of the theatre that they outdazzled the rest. If we speak of Dumas fils, we are apt to be thinking of the author of Denise and of Francillon; we leap over everything else which he has written, and settle on the problem plays of the seventies. Even his most famous novels were turned into not less famous dramas, and if we describe La Dame aux Camelias and L'Affaire Clemenceau, we have to be very careful to mention that it is the stories, not the pieces, to which we refer.
