Presented in the foreword as a collection of memories, Du Camp’s Souvenirs littéraire conceal an ambitious work that sculpts a statue of its author to ensure him a place in history. Without speaking of it directly, Maxime Du Camp succeeds at the feat of reinterpreting the history of romanticism in the light of positivism, redrawing his own trajectory in the light of what he has become, and weighing in on the present debate by formulating his aesthetic ideal.
