Huysman's attack on Golden Age Latin authors

[chad]

hi guys, i was just wondering if you've read J-K Huysman's caustic attack on Golden Age Latin authors? it's hilarious. An English translation is online (although it's a bit old and tortured, from an out of copyright edition--the new translations in bookstores are better):

There's also the original french version:

(Huysmans wasn't a classicist... he copied these opinions from an old German classicist I think).

Cheers, Chad.
