| Abstract
|
:
|
Focusing on a moment and a source in 19th century France, the author takes up a big question that is still with us, What is a classic? His enquiry, which centres on the French critic Sainte-Beave takes us on a tour of the history of the 'classic' that provides insights into and beyond the 'culture wars' of the 19th century.
