"Portraits littéraires, Tome III" by Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve is a collection of literary portraits and analyses written during the mid-19th century. The work delves into the lives and works of various notable figures in literature, including poets and contemporary writers, exploring their contributions and significance in the literary world. The collection aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of these authors and their contexts, emphasizing the interplay between literature and its historical backdrop. At the start of the tome, Sainte-Beuve introduces the figure of Theocritus, emphasizing his pivotal role in the tradition of Greek pastoral poetry. The opening section articulates the elegance and beauty of Theocritus's work, contrasting it with later developments in literature. Sainte-Beuve discusses Theocritus's style, drawing connections between his pastoral themes and the natural world, while also noting the poet's evolution within the context of ancient Greek culture. The narrative highlights the tension between the purity of ancient poetic forms and the more complex emotions exhibited in later writings, setting a reflective tone for the exploration of literary personalities throughout the volume.
