Charles Nodier, théoricien de la littérature dans la Revue de Paris

This article gives a tempered picture of the widespread idea that the magazine format in the vein of Charles Nodier was inadequate. Created in 1829, the Revue de Paris became a forum for Nodier to present his ideas on literature. Throughout his texts, he analyzes the evolution of the latter, outlines a different literary history, and places Romanticism in a pessimistic vision of time. These articles help make Nodier one of the Revue de Paris’ essential voices.
