Summary "Les Contemporains, 6ème Série" by Jules Lemaître is a collection of literary studies and portraits written in the late 19th century. The work examines literary figures of the time, emphasizing critical insights alongside personal reflections on the authors' influences and contributions to literature. This collection seems particularly focused on analyzing the life and work of Louis Veuillot, a significant literary and journalistic figure in France, considering both his personal journey and philosophical implications of his beliefs. The opening of this literary examination begins with Lemaître expressing his aim to continue a series of studies on contemporary authors that had been interrupted. He introduces Louis Veuillot, acknowledging the complexities and depth of Veuillot's character beyond his notoriety as a journalist. Lemaître reflects on Veuillot's humble beginnings, his subsequent rise to prominence, and the moral and philosophical struggles he faced, particularly highlighting Veuillot's relationship with his faith and the socio-political environment of his time. This sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Veuillot's contributions to literature and society, infusing personal anecdotes with broader critiques of social norms and religious beliefs.
