Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve (1804-69) was the foremost French literary critic of the nineteenth century, who abandoned his medical studies for literature. The present work studies not only the various roles that Sainte-Beuve played in his life, such as The Scholar, The Poet, The Novelist, The Moralist, and The Historian, but also his work and his contemporaries.
