Description
He studied rhetoric and philosophy in Paris, then medicine. He was the author of numerous studies that revolutionised the methods of literary criticism. He taught in Lausanne in 1837-38. He was elected to the Académie française in 1844. Autograph letter signed "Ste Beuve" (Paris), June 17. 1 p. 1/2 in-8°. Beautiful piece. Sainte-Beuve is happy to have received the thanks of his correspondent. However, he didn't owe him any: "... J'ai eu le plaisir de m'associer à un acte de justice et de bonne littérature… Je m'étais vite rallié aux paroles très vives de Mr Villemain en votre faveur au sein de l'Académie, j'ai applaudi mon excellent ami et voisin, Mr Patin, qui a plaidé pour Lucrèce, d'une manière vraiment éloquente; c'est à lui, c'est à Mr Villemain Mole et Cousin que vous devez quelque chose de particulier…".
