RUBEL, M.M., Savage and Barbarian. Historical Attitudes in the Criticism of Homer and Ossian in Britain, 1760-1800. North-Holland Publishing Company, Amsterdam (...), 1978. 127p. Sewn with dust wrps. Dust wrps a bit edge worn. Series: Verhandelingen der Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen, afd. Letterkunde, Nieuwe Reeks, 96. ‘C’est une très intéressante reconstitution de ce qu’on pourrait appeler les mentalités critiques d’une époque qu’on nous propose. (…). Le but (de M.M.R. [ND] est de retracer l’image que l’on sén fait en Angleterre et de transporter le lecteur dans les habitudes de pensée qui s’en répandaient alors. C’est bien en cela qu’il s’agit d’une reconstitution où la valeur du critique se juge à son sens intuitif des vues et des attitudes mentales d’un autre âge. Le livre présente d’abord un panorama de ce qu’était le barbare avant qu’’Ossian’ ne soit publié; puis, avec l’émergence de l’historicisme, une vue nouvelle du développement des sociétés; ensuite, la mise en perspective d’Homère et d’Ossian; enfin les aspects de la critique écrite sur ces deux ‘auteurs’ entre 1760 et 1800. On est frappé par l’étendue des connaissances dont fait preuve M.M.R. dans un ouvrage si modest par la taille. On est frappé aussi par la vigueur de sa pensée, toujours alerte, parfois tranchante. Manque un index, hélas! Mais la bibliographie est d’une exemplaire solidité et à l ‘image de cette étude: intelligente, ferme et savante.’ (M. BARIDON in Dix-Huitième Siècle, 1980, pp.565-566). € 15.00 (Antiquarian)
