Synopsis
Excerpt from Jacques Benigne Bossuet: A Study The most distinguished of French critics and historians, during the last hundred years, have made the personality and work of Bossuet the subject of eager study. So great indeed is the eminence to which he has attained that Shakespeare alone of English writers holds with us a position akin to that which he occupies among his countrymen. Yet in England, notwithstanding the widespread and increasing appreciation of French literature, a student of Bossuet is a rarity, while a vast number of well-informed persons are content with knowledge summarized in the statement that "he was a great French preacher who behaved very badly to Fenelon." The explanation of this ignorance does not evade inquiry. It lies in the simple admission that he has not awakened interest. Sermons, even though they achieve the rank of classics, are not popular reading, and the writings of Bossuet appear to be inextricably entangled with the controversies of another nation and another age. Moreover, Rigaud's impressive portrait of him at Versailles has helped to remove him to a sphere beyond the ken of ordinary humanity. If the pompous personage created by tradition were actually Bossuet he might be relegated to a place in the group behind the throne of the Great Monarch and left without regret. Recent admirers of his, however, have had the courage to attack tradition, and by their efforts new truth concerning him is brought to light. Thus a man concealed by legend for two centuries at length emerges. And, having thrust aside the veil of imposing reputation, we find a character full of surprises. Dethrone him from his pedestal, and at close quarters he shows himself to be the tool of contradictory impulses. The saying of Pascal that "men are not so different from each other as one man is from himself" draws support from such a study. Bossuet was an idealist.

- s***s (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller was fine, arrived promptly with good packaging and in perfect condition. But I should have asked questions about the book. It is really just a recreation of a collection of pages from old catalogues. I was hoping for more information & history of some of the Chickering models. This was not worth $18 to me. Would have been helpful if the seller had given examples of some pages.
