Description

CASTELNAU (Junius). Essai sur la littérature romantique. Le Normant père, Paris, 1825. Octavo, VIII-296 pages, half-leather binding (period binding), scattered foxing. First edition. Long attributed anonymously, this work was attributed to Junius Castelnau by Pierre Jourda. The preface declares the book is a reworking of a memoir presented in 1820 to the Jeux floraux. The moderate tone confirms the 1820 composition date. It treats the question from a historical perspective, presenting itself as a suggestive milestone and testimony at the moment when the Mercure du XIXe siècle begins to rally to the Romantic School.
