"The Literary Opera Glass: Dictionary of the Great and Small Authors of My Time." It is an 1857 satirical and biographical dictionary written by French journalist and writer Charles Monselet.
Monselet’s dictionary serves as a witty, often humorous guide to the literary figures of the 19th-century French scene. Rather than a dry encyclopedia, it acts as a collection of short, highly opinionated, and gossipy portraits. Monselet playfully reviewed both world-famous writers of his era (like Charles Baudelaire and Victor Hugo) and obscure or forgotten novelists who are rarely studied today
