The book Theophile Gautier is a literary biography written by the renowned American author, Henry James. The book explores the life and work of Theophile Gautier, a French poet, novelist, and critic who lived in the 19th century. James delves into Gautier's literary career, examining his poetry, fiction, and criticism, and providing an in-depth analysis of his style and themes. The book also explores Gautier's personal life, including his relationships with other writers and artists, his travels, and his experiences during the political upheavals of his time. James draws on his extensive knowledge of French literature and culture to provide a nuanced and insightful portrait of Gautier, shedding light on the broader literary and cultural context of his work. Overall, Theophile Gautier is a richly detailed and engaging biography that offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of one of France's most important literary figures.There is, perhaps, scant apparent logic in treating a closed career more tenderly than an open one; but we suspect it belongs to the finer essence of good criticism to do so, and, at any rate, we find our judgment of the author of the Voyage en Espagne and the Capitaine Fracasse turning altogether to unprotesting kindness. We had a vague consciousness of lurking objections; but on calling them to appear, they gave no answer. Gautier's death, indeed, in the nature of things could not but be touching, and dispose one to large allowances.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
