Sinópse: Excerpt from Monsieur De Camors (Monsieur De Camors) As a romancer, Feuillet occupies a high place. For thirty years he was the representative of a noble and tender genre, and was preeminently the favorite novelist of the brilliant society of the Second Empire. Women literally devoured him, and his feminine public has al ways remained faithful to him. He is the advocate of morality and of the aristocracy of birth and feeling, though under this disguise he involves his heroes and heroines in highly romantic complications, whose out come is often for a time in doubt. Yet as the accredited painter of the Faubourg saint-germain he contributed an essential element to the development of realistic fic tion. No one has rendered so well as he the high strung, neuropathic women of the upper class, who neither understand themselves nor are wholly compre hensible to others. In M onsienr de Camors, crowned by the Academy, he has yielded to the demands of a stricter realism. Especially after the fall of the Empire had removed a powerful motive for gilding the vices of aristocratic society, he painted its hard and selfish qualities as none of his contemporaries could have done.
