I. CAPTAIN FRACASSE. By Theophile Gautier. Translated by E. M. Beam.
Of Le Capitaine Fracasse, Henry James, Jr., writes: “In this delightful work Gautier surpassed himself, and produced the model of picturesque romances. * * * The great charm of the book is a sort of combined geniality of feeling and coloring, which leaves one in doubt whether the author is the most joyous of painters or the cleverest of poets. * * * Le Capitaine Fracasse ranks, in our opinion, with the first works of imagination produced in our day.”
