AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Third edition with a new preface from 1866, following the original from 1840.
A monumental fresco narrating the history of the Port-Royal des Champs monastery, and chiefly its Jansenist period, an expanded transposition of a course taught in Lausanne in 1837–1838 by Sainte-Beuve.
The seventh and final volume consists of the general table of contents and the names.
Good‑quality bindings in blue‑night glazed half‑veau leather, spine with raised cords underscored by gold fillets, title and volume numbering in gold lettering.
Condition: Fresh and clean copy. Bindings sturdy. Leather slightly rubbed at the hinges and headcaps. Corners pierced. Interior very well preserved, with no foxing or stains. A few passages underlined in pencil in the margins.
Port-Royal is a work written by Charles-Augustin Sainte-Beuve and published between 1840 and 1859, initially as newspaper articles and later in five volumes. It is the expanded transposition of a course given in Lausanne in 1837-1838 by Sainte-Beuve.
On the advice of Lamennais, Sainte-Beuve had already taken an interest in Port-Royal. But dedicating oneself to this subject is particularly suited to the context: at that time, Switzerland is a confederation of 22 small independent states, which hardly ever agree on a single point. Linguistic, religious, cultural differences, everything contributes to making Switzerland a lively yet unstable place. The powers of the Holy Alliance regularly pressure Switzerland. To this, we must add the presence of many refugees from other European states following the revolutionary wave of 1830. Politically, the opposition between radicalism and liberalism extends to a contest by the radicals of the academic and religious elites (professors and pastors).
Religiously speaking, the holding of the course on Port-Royal arrives in a troubled context—the Protestant Revival—which often pits ordinary believers against more traditional pastors.
