“It is clear, well arranged, and comprehensive, abounding in personalities of the writers, which gives the reader a good idea of their qualities. For a great multitude of readers the volume is just such a book as they need.”—Inter-Ocean, Chicago, Ill.
“Evidently Prof. Hutson is an accomplished scholar and a thorough master of the subject of which he writes. His book is as fresh and bright and interesting as a novel.”—News, Charleston, S. C.
“A short history of French literature, clear, comprehensive, well arranged, extending from its beginnings to the present time; the interest is enhanced by the personality with which the author invests the individual writers, and by the well-chosen quotations (translated) with which he sustains his own opinions.”—Christian Leader, Cincinnati, Ohio.
“A handsome manual by Professor C. W. Hutson, author of ‘The Beginnings of Civilization.’ It is marked by the same scholarly spirit as was there shown. It covers the last 900 years in its view. The troubadours, the fables and the chronicles, the Renaissance ages, the great satirists, dramatists, essayists, encyclopedists, the scientific writers, the philosophers, the critics and the poets, men and women, from Moliere to de Stael, and even the translated French literature of Louisiana—all are generously though compactly treated.”—Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Brooklyn, N. Y.
“The work is exceedingly interesting, and gives a very faithful illustration of French thought as set forth in the general literature of the people. One cannot read the work without securing a fair and most pleasant acquaintance with the eminent men and women who have given to France a literature second to none, in many respects, of any nation. The author shows himself both an admirer of French thought and thoroughly conversant with it.”—Herald of Gospel Liberty, Dayton, Ohio.
