About the author
Hippolyte Taine
1828–1893
A sharp-eyed French critic and historian, he brought science, psychology, and social history into literary study in a way that changed how many readers thought about books and culture. Best known for his forceful ideas about how character and environment shape human behavior, he was one of the major intellectual figures of 19th-century France.
