Henri Frédéric Amiel , 1821-81, Swiss critic. He was unsuccessful and unnoticed during his life, but the posthumous publication of his Journal intime (1883, tr. of augmented ed. 1936) aroused great interest. It is a document of scrupulous self-observation.
Bibliography: See V. W. Brooks, Malady of the Ideal (1913).
