Paul Bourget -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) |
 | | Paul Charles Joseph Bourget (September 2, 1852–December 25, 1935), was a French (Someone who writes novels) novelist and (Anyone who expresses a reasoned judgment of something) critic. |
 | | As a writer of verse Bourget was merely experimenting, and his poems, which were collected in two volumes (1885–1887), are chiefly interesting for the light which they throw upon his mature method and the later products of his art. |
 | | Bourget has been charged with pessimism, and with undue delineation of one social class, but there is no despair in his own outlook upon human destiny as a whole. |
