“This volume was in the printer’s hands in August, 1914. For its publication today Madame Duclaux has added a post-war preface and interpolated a passage here and there.” (Nation) “She writes chiefly of the last fourteen years, and in studies all too brief characterizes the personalities and the work of Maurice Barrès, Romain Rolland, Edmond Rostand, Claudel, Jammes, René Boylesve. André Gide, Péguy, Barbusse, Duhamel, the Comtesse de Noailles and others.” (Ath)
