SAINTE-BEUVE. BY Harold
Nicolson. Doubleday &

Sainte-Beuve was a repul-
sive looking little man in q
black skull cap and not even
his friends liked him. He was
q failure as a poet and as a
novelist. He turned to criti-
cism. As q critic he let his
like or dislike Of the author
color his views. He was ca
PRECIOUS and pettish. He
liked only those writers he
discovered himself. those who
were dead or those who were
too frivolous ever to become
his rivals. A critic must be
right in his judgments at
least some Of the time. yet he
was completely wrong in
his appraisals Of Stendhal,
Balzac and Flaubert. Three
giants to be wrong about.
Three big mistakes to make.
And yet-says the French
critics almost unwilling but

pher. Harold Nicolson--as a
guide to early loth century
French literature. he is un-
equaled. He had q basic
honesty that set truth as the
almost sole criterion in the

contributed TO. He brought TO

eran on the make for money

His looks, opportunism and

He meets Susan Brown,
the baby-talking princess Of

Alice Aisgill, aging. promis-
cuous. intense. Joe is on his
way to the top when the
poisoned arrow Of true love
wounds him forever.

ism. full Of sharp observa-
ton. He does not try to
scrape up any particular
sympathy for his grasping.

wants to make you see him

"Lundi" essays are his great

die of the last century.
The impression which this
biography leaves is that
Sainte-Beuve was not an ex-
ceptionally brilliant or pene-
trating critic but that he was
an important one and a read
able one. even If he is more
taught than read today. This
is the first biography Of him
