Judgments

Come after the dreadful pharmaceutical and litigious theater from Alexandre Dumas, this Cyrano was a cooling, delicious wine glass scented and frozen after a long race in the dust of the ways.

Remy de Gourmont ( literary Happiness: Mr. Edmond Rostand, Walks literary , 1st series).

I hardly like the talent of Mr. Alexandre Dumas wire. It is a writer extremely overrates, of poor style and design reduced by the strangest theories. I estimate that the posterity will be hard for him. It was one of the most powerful workmen of the contemporary naturalism. Then, he declared himself in him a kind of access philosophical, which poisoned and ruined its works. :: Emile Zola ( complete Works , vol. X11, p.627 and 668).
