Lemaître, Jules

▪ French critic and dramatist
born April 27, 1853, Vennecy, Fr.
died Aug. 4, 1914, Tavers

      French critic, storyteller, and dramatist, now remembered for his uniquely personal and impressionistic style of literary criticism.

      After leaving the École Normale, Lemaître was a schoolmaster and then professor at the University of Grenoble before resigning to devote himself to writing. His first essay (1894), on the French historian and dramatist Joseph Renan, showed his independence of mind and lively style and was the beginning of a long career as a theatrical and literary critic. His critical essays from the Journal des Débats were collected in Les Contemporains (vol. 1–7, 1885–99; vol. 8, 1918; selections translated into English as Literary Impressions) and Impressions du théâtre (vol. 1–10, 1888–98; vol. 11, 1920). Lemaître was an enemy of critical dogmatism and critical systems; like his contemporary Anatole France, he emphasized his individual, human perceptions of works, controlled only by knowledge and taste. His essays, although inevitably dated, remain readable, not only as valuable documents on the writing of his time but also because of their wit, wide knowledge, and lack of pedantry.

      His other works include penetrating and authoritative collections of lectures: one published in 1907 on the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a second published in 1908 on the French tragedian Jean Racine, another published in 1910 on the writer and political figure Fénelon, and still more on various subjects. Of his plays, Revoltée (1889; “Rebellious Woman”), Les Rois (1893; “The Kings”), and La Massière (1904; “The Treasurer”) had moderate success. His best collections of stories include Serenus (1886) and En marge des vieux livres (1905–07; On the Margins of Old Books), a compilation of tales created around the characters from classic works of literature and history.
