[Eugenio Negro · Rating 3 out of 5]

Of all of these 1902 French Classic Romances by Gosse that I've so far read, Feuillet's Poor Young Man is definitely the most pure popcorn. There is truth in it, and some good characterization, but the whole thing comes out brief and wistful and altogether too happy in the end for my interest.
I've read that Fueillet enjoyed great popularity during the Second Empire, which only casts more doubt on my estimation of the Second Empire's brains in general, and makes me easily able to imagine Baudelaire reading something like Poor Young Man and launching into his gutter scum bag in order to outrage people who might Feuillet's stuff edgy. Anyhow, Poor Young Man is worth the 2 days to read it and fun for those who love a romance.
