Summary | "Cours familier de Littérature - Volume 25" by Alphonse de Lamartine is a literary critique written in the mid-19th century. This volume serves as a monthly review, exploring various literary themes and figures, with a focus on the works and influence of the Scottish poet Ossian, attributed to the translator James Macpherson. The text reflects on the significance of these poems in the literary landscape and their cultural impact across Europe. The opening of the volume delves into the historical context of Ossian's poems, starting from their dramatic emergence in the 1760s and the widespread acclaim they received, akin to the initial reception of Homeric epics. Lamartine discusses the complex authenticity debates surrounding these works led by Macpherson, emphasizing the cultural resonance they achieved in England, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy. He highlights the passionate responses from notable figures of the time, including Rousseau and Dr. Johnson, before transitioning to the essence of Ossian’s poetry, depicting its deep, somber beauty compared to the brightness of Homer. The prose elegantly sets the stage for further exploration of the poems and their themes of heroism, love, and the melancholic aspects of nature. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
