"Racine and Shakespeare" is a collection of two pamphlets published in 1823 and 1825 on the polemic against academic classicism. It is an important theoretical work of Stendhal and one of the French realist documents. As representatives of romanticism and classicism respectively, Shakespeare and Racine symbolized the opposition between the aesthetic views of the rising bourgeoisie and the old art of the feudal aristocracy in the rising period. What Stendhal proposed in this work was the artistic principle of realism, which paved the way for the development of realist literature in France in the nineteenth century. This book also includes Stendhal's "A Traveler's Notes" (selected), the introduction to "History of Italian Painting", the preface to "Armans", and the preface to Stendhal's unfinished novel "Lucien Levan", etc.
