Pierre Lasserre (1867–1930) was a French literary critic, journalist and essayist. He became Director of the École des Hautes-Études. He was an ''agrégé'' in philosophy, contemporary with Henri Vaugeois and Louis Dimier. As a young man he was a strong nationalist and anti-Dreyfusard. He was the leading literary critic of Action française, and author of the first work on Charles Maurras. Along with Georges Valois, Lasserre was one of the first to work to incorporate Nietzschean themes into neoroyalism.〔Frohock, Wilbur Merrill (1937). ''Pierre Lassare: The Evolution of His Critical Doctrines'', Edwards Brothers, Incorporated.〕 ==Life== Lasserre defended neo-classicism against romanticism, which he tied to the ideals of the French Revolution. He upheld a controversial thesis on this topic in 1907, on French Romanticism, at the University of Paris. Part of his general argument, that the French romantics had damaged the concept of monarchy, was influenced from the side of the Action française and Maurras. This strand of anti-romanticism, close to that of the essayist Ernest Seillière and the counter-revolutionary tradition, later had an impact on Carl Schmitt and his ''Politische Romantik'' of 1921. Up to World War I, Lasserre was a militant, associating with Charles Péguy and digesting the ideas of Georges Sorel. He opposed the trend of modernisation in the university system, supporting classical and humane studies. His colleagues Henri Massis and Alfred de Tarde, equally, were concerned at the perceived falling away of classics at the Sorbonne. In 1914, Lasserre broke with Charles Maurras and the Action française. Others in the circle had made much of a crude form of his arguments on romanticism: Louis Reynaud, had claimed German Romanticism as corrupting of contemporary French culture, where Lasserre was if anything Germanophile, and not a subscriber to the nationalist line of the Action française. He subsequently followed an orthodox academic career.〔Halperin, Maurice (1934).
