vin. Political and military dlsusteie 1 ot the last years of the region ot ' Louis XIV checked all literary development and the beginning of tht I 18th century has been named as one of the “dead" seasons of French literature. Later with the appearance of Voltaire, Rausseau, Le Sage, and Beaumarchais, France emerged with new talent, Victor Hugo, Alfred de Musset, Lamartine and Balzac are fa miliar names of the next period. Miss Michaud concluded her resume with the works of-Alexander Dumas. Miss Mary Suttles gave the biographies of Anatole France and Edmond Rostand. The former is recognized as the most distinguished novelist, the most graceful humorist and the purest stylist ot conteinpoiary France. Edmond Rostand was a French dramatist whose “Cyrans de Bergerae" "The Eaglet" and "Chantii ilier" are well known and of universal appeal. They were played in the United States by Richaid Mansfield and Maude Adams. Mrs. Herman Myers gave a biography of Pierre Lati. While serving the French muy he gained the. bac.kgrcund for his descriptions of foreign scenery. His works deal predominantly with the East and ire in general of the Oriental character.
