A History of French Literature.
By Edward Dowden, D. C. L., LL. D., Professor of English Literature in the University of Dublin.
"Certainly the best history of French literature in the English language."—The Athenæum.
"This is a history of literature as histories of literature should be written. The more closely one looks into this book, the more clearly is it seen how much thought, how much mental selection, as well as how much reading, have gone to the making of these picturesque portraits of writers."—The Saturday Review.
