René-François-Armand Prudhomme, known as Sully Prudhomme, combines the artistic punctiliousness of a _Parnassien_ with sincere emotion and a deeply philosophic mind. The intellectual quality of his work is conspicuous, but hardly less so the grace and finish of its form. It bears deep traces of the influence of the scientific movement of our time and of the transformation it has wrought in our ideas of man and nature and their relations. The personal emotion from which his lyrics spring appears always intellectually illumined, with its background of scientific corollaries and logical consequences. It is not abandoned to itself, to wreak itself on expression, but is checked by the challenge of doubt or scientific curiosity or moral scruple. His verse thus unites in rare degree the qualities of lyrical impulse and philosophical reflection. Works: _Stances et Poèmes_, 1865; _les Épreuves_, 1866; _les Solitudes_, 1869; _les Destins_, 1872; _les Vaines Tendresses_, 1875; _la Justice_, 1878; _le Prisme_, 1886; _le Bonheur_, 1888; these have appeared in a new edition as _Oeuvres_, 5 vols., 1883-1888. For reference: J. Lemaître, _les Contemporains_, vol. i, 1886; E. Caro, _Poètes et romanciers_, 1888; G. Paris, _Penseurs et poètes_, 1896; F. Brunetière, _Évolution de la poésie lyrique_, vol. ii, 1894.
