achieved this modest purpose and did succeed in finding many 

 collaborators and followers. As Sainte-Beuve wrote, in his essay- 

 on 'Taine's "History of English Literature'": 'Indeed, whatever 

 those who were content with the old vague conditions may say, 

 M. Taine has done much to advance literary analysis; those who 

 now study a great foreign writer will no longer set to work in the 

 old way nor so lightly as before the publication of M. Taine's 

 book.'73
