Médisance
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
|
"Nothing of a man ; full of petty resentment against all masculine intellects. Wanders about delicate, curious, tired, "pumping" people, a female after all, with a woman's revengefulness and a woman's sensuousness. As a psychologist a genius for médisance ; inexhaustibly rich in expedients for the purpose ; nobody understands better how to mix poison with praise." --Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols |

Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve (23 December 1804 in Boulogne-sur-Mer – 13 October 1869 in Paris) was a literary critic and one of the major figures of French literary history. He is often cited for his essay "What Is a Classic?" and for citing Byron and Sade as the two greatest inspirations of our moderns.
