See also:PLANCHE, See also:JEAN See also:BAPTISTE GUSTAVE (1808–1857) , See also:French critic, was See also:born in See also:Paris on the 16th of See also:February 18o8. Intro-duced by See also:Alfred de See also:Vigny to See also:Francois Buloz, he began to write for the Revue See also:des deux mondes, and continued to do so until 184o. He resumed his connexion with the See also:journal in 1846 and contributed to it until his See also:death in Paris on the 18th of See also:September 18J7. Gustave Planche was an altogether honest critic and refused to accept a See also:place from See also:Napoleon III. for fear of compromising his freedom. He was in See also:early See also:life a fervent admirer of See also:George See also:Sand, and he lavished praise on De Vigny. But he had nothing but scorn for See also:Victor See also:Hugo, whose earlier dramas he characterized as odes, those following Le Roi s'amuse as See also:anti-theses, and the later ones as nothing but spectacle. His See also:critical papers were collected under the titles: Portraits litteraires (1836–1849); Nouveaux portraits litteraires (1854); and See also:art criticisms, Etudes sur l'ecole francaise (1855).
