Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Theophile Gautier, Vol. 6: Portraits of the Day Of course, Balzac was largely a Romanticist, while Gautier tended, not to realism exactly, but to a soberer mode of thought and to a firmer, cleaner, more accurate form of expression than the school of which he had been so illustrious a member, and which was being dethroned in its turn by the followers of Stendhal, Merimee, and Balzac. Gautier appreciated the admi rable work of the latter at a time when praise was but grudgingly conceded to one of the greatest masters of French letters. The realism of Balzac did not shock him; he saw in the stupendous Comedie humaine a form of that art which he himself loved so intensely and so faithfully.
