Louis-le-See also:Grand. Desiring to follow the profession of teaching, he entered for examination at the Ecole Normale Superieure, but failed, and the outbreak of See also:war in 187o debarred him from a second See also:attempt. He turned to private tuition and to See also:literary See also:criticism. After the publication of successful articles in the Revue Bleue, he became connected with the Revue See also:des Deux Mondes, first as contributor, then as secretary and sub-editor, and finally, in 1893, as See also:principal editor. In 1886 he was appointed See also:professor of French See also:language and literature at the Ecole Normale, a singular See also:honour for one who had not passed through the See also:academic See also:- MILL

He was decorated with the See also:Legion of Honour in 1887, and became a member of the See also:Academy in 1893. The published See also:works of M. Brunetiere consist largely of reprinted papers and lectures. They include six See also:series of Etudes critiques (188o-1898) on French See also:history and literature; Le See also:Roman naturaliste (1883); Histoire et Litlerature, three series (1884-1886); Questions de critique (1888; second series, 189o). The first See also:volume of L'See also:Evolution de genres clans t'histoire de la litterature, lectures in which a formal See also:classification, founded on the Darwinian theory, is applied to the phenomena of literature, appeared in 189o; and his later works include a series of studies (2 vols., 1894) on the evolution of French lyrical See also:poetry during the 19th See also:century, a history of
French classic literature begun in 1904, a monograph on See also:Balzac (1906), and various See also:pamphlets of a polemical nature dealing with questions of See also:education, See also:science and See also:religion. Among these may be mentioned Discours academiques (1901), Discours de combat (1900, 1903), L'See also:Action sociale du christianisme (1904), Sur See also:les chemins de la croyance (1905). M. Brunetiere was an orthodox Roman See also:Catholic, and his See also:political sympathies were in the See also:main reactionary. He possessed two See also:prime qualifications of a See also:great critic, vast erudition and unflinching courage. He was never afraid to diverge from the established See also:critical view, his mind was closely logical and intensely accurate, and he rarely made a trip in the wide See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf.

field of study over which it ranged. The most honest, if not the most impartial, of magisterial writers, he had a hatred of the unreal, and a contempt for the trivial; nobody was more merciless towards those who affected effete and decadent literary forms, or maintained a vicious See also:standard of See also:art. On the other See also:hand, his intolerance, his sledge-See also:hammer methods of attack and a ,certain dry pedantry alienated the sympathies of many who recognized the remarkable qualities of his mind. The application of universal principles to every question of letters is a check to See also:dilettante habits of thought, but it is See also:apt to detain the critic in a somewhat narrow and dusty path. M.Brunetiere's See also:influence, however, cannot be disputed, and it was in the main thoroughly See also:sound and wholesome. He died on the 9th of See also:December 1906.
His See also:Manual of the History of French Literature was translated into See also:English in 1898 by R. Derechef. Among critics of Brunetiere see J. See also:Lemaitre, Les Contemporains (1887, &c.), and J. Sargeret, Les Grands Convertis (1906).
