Troisième série" by Anatole France is a collection of essays written during the late 19th century. This work reflects on various literary critiques and discussions, blending both personal insights and broader observations about literature and its critique. The author delves into the challenges of literary criticism, exploring themes of subjectivity and objectivity in artistic interpretation, and engages with prominent literary figures of his time. The opening of the text primarily presents France's defense of his critical approach against accusations of subjectivity from fellow critic Ferdinand Brunetière. France acknowledges the importance of criticism while asserting that complete objectivity is an illusion, as all perception is tinted by individual experience. He praises the methods and intelligence of his contemporaries, such as Jules Lemaître and Paul Desjardins, while also outlining his appreciation for their unique perspectives on literature. The discourse sets the stage for a philosophical examination of the relationship between the reader and the text, emphasizing the rich nuances inherent in literary appreciation and interpretation.
