Edmund and Jules de Goncourt : Renee Mauperin
'. . . I learnt this from the brothers de Goncourt. I must get you to read their 'Renee Mauperin'. To study the principles of its construction is both 'entertaining & instructive.' My favourite masters & models: 1. Turgenev, a royal first (you must read 'On the Eve'?flawless I tell you. Bring back such books of mine as you have; I have others you must read). 2. de Maupassant. 3. de Goncourts. 4. George Moore?the great author who can neither write nor spell! Stevenson only helps me in minute details of style.'
