Summary
Being a manuscript of the essay, heavily revised by the author, with some notes on the versos, and used by the printer; commenting on the present state of French society and literature, making a strong argument for the principles of naturalism and realism in art; the title refers to Sainte-Beuve's long running critical essays "Les Causeries du lundi" (1849-1869), which Zola opposes.
