His enquiry, which centres on the French critic Sainte-Beuve (1804-69), who asked the question 'Qu'est-ce qu'un classique?' in an essay of 1850, takes us on a tour of the history of the 'classic' that provides insights into and beyond the 'culture wars' of the 19th century.CriticismCriticism.848/.709Prendergast Christopher1606855MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910820410603321The classic4045844UNINA
