HELLO, ERNEST (1828-1885) , See also:

French critic, was See also:born at See also:Treguier. He was the son of a lawyer who held posts of See also:great importance at See also:Rennes and in See also:Paris, and was well educated at both places, but took to no profession and resided much, for a See also:time, in his See also:father's See also:country-See also:house in See also:Brittany. A very strong See also:Roman See also:Catholic, he appears to have been specially excited by his countryman See also:Renan's attitude to religious matters, and coming under the See also:influence of J. A. See also:Barbey d'Aurevilly and See also:Louis See also:Veuillot, the two most brilliant crusaders of the See also:Church in the See also:press, he started a newspaper of his own, Le Croise, in 1859; but it only lasted two years. He wrote, however, much in other papers. He had very See also:bad See also:health, suffering apparently from See also:spinal or See also:bone disease. But he was fortunate enough to meet with a wife, Zoe See also:Berthier, who, ten years older than himself, and a friend for some years before their See also:marriage, became his devoted See also:nurse, and even brought upon herself abuse from See also:gutter journalists of the time for the care with which she guarded him. He died in 1885. Hello's See also:work is somewhat varied in See also:form but See also:uniform in spirit. His best-known See also:book, Physionomie de See also:saints (1875), which has been translated into See also:English (1903) as Studies in See also:Saint See also:ship, does not display his qualities best. Conies extraordinaires, published not See also:long before his See also:death, is better and more See also:original.

But the real Hello is to be found in a See also:

series of philosophical and See also:critical essays, from Renan, l'Allemagne et l'atheisme (1861), through L'Homme (1871) and See also:Les Plateaux de la See also:balance (188o), perhaps his See also:chief book, to the posthumously published Le Siecle. The peculiarity of his standpoint and the originality and vigour of his handling make his studies, of See also:Shakespeare, See also:Hugo and others, of abiding importance as See also:literary " triangulations," results of See also:object, subject and point of view.
