Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Le Livre, Vol. 2: Revue Mensuelle, Bibliographie Moderne
Son fragment de nouvelle Lear ofire beaucoup d'interet aussi, un interet bien poignant. L'auteur y decrit la folie du poete Lenz, l'un des cory phees de la Sturm and Drangperiode qui preceda 1a grande epoque classique, folie admirablement etudiee et depeinte par le jeune ecrivain qui, ne l'oublions pas, etait medecin lui-meme et fils de medecin. La scene se joue dans le Ban de la Roche, canton sauvage des Vosges, dans le presbytere du pasteur philanthrope Oberlin. La piete mystique de l'homme et le caractere alpestre du pays sont fidelement rendus.
