| Summary | "Cours familier de Littérature - Volume 05" by Alphonse de Lamartine is a collection of literary essays written in the mid-19th century. This work engages with the foundational texts of Western literature, beginning with a detailed examination of Homer's epics, the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey," alongside reflections on the influence of ancient literature on contemporary society. Lamartine presents complex themes on the power of literature and its impact on human morals and culture. The opening of the work presents a preamble where Lamartine addresses critics who have attacked his literary publication, defending its neutrality in political and religious matters while expressing his passion for literature. He reflects on the nature of criticism and the responsibilities of a writer, framing the discussion within the context of his forthcoming essays. Lamartine introduces the first topic with a focus on the significance of Greek literature and a historical perspective on Homer's works, highlighting how these texts serve as a bridge to understanding humanity and civilization throughout history.
