Description
BRILLON, Pierre-Jacques] - Apologie de Monsieur de La Bruyère ou Réponse à la critique des Caractères de Théophraste. Paris, J.-B. Delespine, 1701. In-12, (4) ff, 484 pp, (6) ff, pl. red morocco, triple gilt thread on covers, spine gilt, gilt tr. (E. POUGET).
ROCHEBILIÈRE 660. First edition. Brillon (1631-1710), Intendant General to the Duke of Maine, had frequented La Bruyère and remains an important source for the history of the Caractères, in particular for what he teaches us about his literary processes (making portraits transposed from reality). Composed of twenty-three letters, each one examines a chapter of the Caractères, in response to the Sentiments critiques de Vigneul-Marville (Bonaventure d'Argonne), concerning La Bruyère. Brillon's fifth and last work devoted to La Bruyère.
