ResumoGUSTAVE LANSON, who might well have claimed to be the founder of literary history, once wrote: Our condition is that of the historians of art. The object of our studies is both past and present. Literary masterpieces are still with us, as pictures by Rembrandt and Rubens, still endowed with active properties, preserving for civilized mankind inexhaustible possibilities for aesthetic and moral excitement.
