BIBLIOGRAPHY
An extensive bibliography appears in Paul Hazard, La
Pensée européenne au XVIIIe siècle (Paris, 1946). A pioneer
study, still not superseded, is Gilbert Chinard's L'Amérique
et le rêve exotique (Paris, 1913). A discussion from a socio-
logical perspective is René Gonnard's La Légende du bon
sauvage (Paris, 1946). Studies primarily devoted to English
literature are H. N. Fairchild, The Noble Savage (New York,
1928) and M. M. Fitzgerald, First Follow Nature (New York,
1947). A superb study of the “Gothic” background is North-
ern Antiquities in French Learning and Literature by Thor
J. Beck, 2 vols. (New York, 1934-35). E. A. Runge covers
the German phase in Primitivism and Related Ideas in Sturm
and Drang Literature (Baltimore, 1946). Two of the most
valuable sources are editions of Diderot's Supplément au
voyage de Bougainville edited by Gilbert Chinard (Paris,
1935) and by Herbert Dieckmann (Geneva, 1955).
