CHASLES, VICTOR EUPHEMIEN PHILARETE (1798-1873)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 957 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHASLES, VICTOR EUPHEMIEN PHILARETE (1798-1873) ,
French
  critic and man of letters, was born at Mainvilliers (Eure et Loir) on the 8th of October 1798. His father, Pierre Jacques Michel Chasles (1754-1826), was a member of the Convention, and was one of those who voted the death of Louis XVI. He brought up his son according to the principles of Rousseau's Emile, and the boy, after a regime of outdoor
life
 , followed by some years' classical study, was apprenticed to a printer, so that he might make acquaintance with
manual
  labour. His master was involved in one of the plots of 1815, and Philarete suffered two months' imprisonment. On his release he was sent to London, where he worked for the printer Valpy on editions of classical authors. He wrote articles for the
English
  reviews, and on his return to France did much to popularize the study of
English
  authors. He was also one of the earliest to draw attention in France to Scandinavian and
Russian
  literature. He contributed to the Revue des deux mondes, until he had a violent quarrel, terminating in a lawsuit, with Francois Buloz, who won his
case
 . He became librarian of the Bibliotheque Mazarine, and from 1841 was professor of
comparative
  literature at the College de France. During his active
life
  he produced some fifty volumes of literary history and criticism, and of social history, much of which is extremely valuable. He died at Venice on the 18th of July 1873. His son, Emile Chasles (b. 1827), was a philologist of some reputation.
Among his best
critical
  works is Dix-huitieme Siecle en Angleterre
(1846), one of a
series
  of 20 vols. of Etudes de [literature corn pane (18461875), which he called later Trente ans de critique. An account of his strenuous boyhood is given in his Maison de mon Pere. His Memoires (18761877) did not fulfil the expectations based on his brilliant talk.
