George Saintsbury

[edit]

Most of this article was written by George Saintsbury, and written beautifully at that. Though I have grown accustomed to seeing the words, "This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain...", at the foot of various Wikipedia articles, it is a shame that this article's debt to him is recorded only in this brusque, reductive way.

Maybe that explains why the article reads like a review rather than a collection of facts. The section on the Characters is atrocious. Fernwerfer (talk) 21:02, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Les Caractères ou les Mœurs de ce siècle

[edit]

We need a Wikipedia in English based on the française https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Caract%C3%A8res and linking to this article.
