We simply like his music, or we don't like it, and trouble our heads no further on the matter. In France, on the contrary, the literature on Wagner is almost as voluminous and at least as valuable as that in Germany. All the principal Journals and Reviews — the Revue des deux M oudes, the Revue de Paris, the Revue Bleue, the Revue Blanche, etc. — have frequent and interesting articles on Wagner, signed by men of the highest literary standing, such as Catulle Mendes, Mallarme, Gaston Paris, Schure.
