Henri Peyre Analyzes
Antiquity’s Influence
On French Literature
M. Henri Peyre stressed the im-
portance of antiquity, not only in
past and present French literature,
but also as a gauge for personal
aesthetics ‘and individual inspira-
tion.
In modern times, said M. Peyre,
classical education has been re-
placed by the study of pseudo-sci-
ences, and its lack has been felt.
The classical has been in ‘continu-
ous change and with new genera-
tions gains new interpretations,
and furnishes new inspirations.
There have been few ‘literary
trends which have not been influ-
enced. by the Latin and Greek
antiquities. The main influences
have been in two directions. One,
we find in modern writers’ traces |
of religion and legend. Secondly,
a. living, fecond and violent influ-
ence, marked by immoderation, of-
ten intoxicates followers of the
classical tradition.
The nineteenth and _ twentieth
centuries were most influenced by
antiquity. In the nineteenth cen-
tury, this effect was demonstrated

was awarded the Fellowship

America for 1941-42. Miss

ent year. The candidate is
selected by a committee, from

women, of all American Uni-
versities.
by a youthful violence and a sen-
sible imagination which associated
itself with nature. In more recent
literature, three themes have .been
dominant: the subconscious has
been produced through classical
symbols; themes imitated from the
classical have entered into social
poetry and propaganda; third, the
classical has found a part in escape
literature.
In the sixtéenth century, the in-
fluence of Latin and Greek litera-
ture moulded the renaissance of
reason. The seventeenth century,
even while opposing antiquity,
lowed much to it. A new aesthetic

antiquity to imitation of it in

Cameron. Lectures
On Imagery of Plato
Common Room, May 1. — Mr.
Cameron in his lecture to the Phil-
osophy Club interpretated Plato’s
style as in‘ itself a symbol of the
four-fold line. There are three
kinds of imagery ir the dialogues:
obvious imagery, hidden imagery
and the image of the dialectic. The
obvious imagery, as the image of
the eave in the Republic, is on the
lowest level of the four-fold line of
understanding. Hidden imagery is
on a higher level; parallelism be-
tween the three classes in the Re-
public and the four virtues is’ of
this nature. The highest level is
reached with the image of the
dialectic, which deals solely with
ideas by the art of question and
answer. It is beyond the realm
of shadows and in that of truth,
but beyond. it is the Platonic Truth

which, existing in solitude, ‘is al-
ways the fourth part of the line
that can never be conveyed by style.
In illustrating this symbolism,
Mr. Cameron discussed the progres-
sion up the four fold line in the
dialogue of Lycis. The same up-
ward movement is found in the
Gorgias, and. the’ Phaedo moves
still higher into the realm. of
truth. In the particular dialogues
however, it is inevitably through |
the style itself that this progres- |
sion manifests itself. | M4
