Tedious! Boring!
The fact to note about this book is the date it was originally published: 1752.That's early.More then fifty years before Jane Austen picked up a pen, Charlotte Lennox wrote "The Female Quixote or the Adventures of Arabella."Like Don Quixote, Arabella is a main character who believes everything she reads.Raised in isolation by her widower father, Arabella has learned the plots of medieval romances by heart, and paired that with complete ignorance about the "modern" world (1750s).

Let me ensure you, laborious hi-jinks ensue.As I've commented before here on numerous occasions, the most surprising fact about the history of the novel is how the novel was basically "post modern" in the very beginning- as early as Don Quixote.Don Quixote, the story of a man who was too wrapped up in chivalric tales for his own good, invented the novel by inventing the reader of the novel.

The formula of Don Quixote tilting at the windmills is a formula that reveals the strength of the novel itself.Writing about a protagonist obsessed with reading books is like writing about the reader him or herself, who is also, hopefully, obsessed by books.Thus the self referential (or "post modern") self aware domain of what we commonly assume to be the 20th and 21st century thoughtis pushed back in time, among certain populations, to the 1700s.

How humbling for those who make a living peddling ironic rebuttals of popular culture products in the present day, to realize that they are traversing in modes of thought that would have been familiar, and probably derided, to writers in the 1700s.Novels are unique among artistic products in their overt dialog with the audience.Symphonies, poetry and paintings to not talk back to the audience.Thus, by reading a novel you can tell more about the corresponding audience then by reading poetry or listening to music from the same era. ...

This 18th century novel revolves around the life of its female protagonist who lets her imagination rule the better part of her personality. The narrative is a slur on the romantic novels of the era and satirizes the genre for its fanciful approach. It is also a commentary on the delicate balance between the two sexes and their roles in society.

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Sir Walter Scott, 1 baronnet d'Abbotsford (15 août 1771 à Édimbourg - 21 septembre 1832 à Abbotsford) est un poète et écrivain écossais. Avocat de formation, antiquaire par goût, il parcourt l'Écosse à la recherche de son passé. Au tournant du et du siècles, il se lance dans la littérature, publiant des textes anciens (Sir Tristrem) ou appartenant à la tradition populaire (dans Les Chants de ménestrels de la frontière écossaise) autant que des poèmes de son cru, comme La Dame du lac. Puis, devant la gloire montante de Lord Byron, il se tourne vers le roman écossais, marqué par le succès de Waverley, avant d'évoluer vers le roman historique, où il brille notamment avec Ivanhoé et Quentin Durward. L'un des plus célèbres auteurs écossais avec David Hume de Godscroft, David Hume, Adam Smith, Robert Burns ou Robert Louis Stevenson, il est traditionnellement surnommé le « Magicien du Nord » (Wizard of the North). Il est également, avec Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley ou Keats, l'une des plus illustres figures du ro...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Extrait : William Shakespeare, né probablement le 23 avril 1564, baptisé le mercredi 26 avril 1564 en l'église de la Sainte-Trinité de Stratford, mort le 23 avril 1616 (52 ans) est considéré comme l'un des plus grands poètes, dramaturges et écrivains de la culture anglaise. Il est réputé pour sa maîtrise des formes poétiques et littéraires ; sa capacité à représenter les aspects de la nature humaine est souvent mise en avant par ses amateurs. Figure éminente de la culture occidentale, Shakespeare continue d'influencer les artistes d'aujourd'hui. Il est traduit dans un grand nombre de langues et ses pièces sont régulièrement jouées partout dans le monde. Shakespeare est l'un des rares dramaturges à avoir pratiqué aussi bien la comédie que la tragédie. Shakespeare écrivit trente-sept œuvres dramatiques entre les années 1580 et 1613. Mais la chronologie exacte de ses pièces est encore sujette à discussion. Cependant, le volume de ses créations n'apparaît pas comme exceptionnel en regard des critères de l'époque.

Extrait : Charlotte Ramsay Lennox (née vers 1730 - morte le 4 janvier 1804) est une femme de lettres et poétesse anglaise du siècle. Elle est célèbre pour avoir été l'auteur de la nouvelle The Female Quixote et pour son association avec Samuel Johnson, Joshua Reynolds, et Samuel Richardson, mais elle connut également une longue carrière consacrée à l'écriture, à la poésie, à la prose et à l'art dramatique. Charlotte Lennox est probablement née à Gibraltar. Son père, James Ramsay, était un capitaine écossais dans la Marine britannique, et sa mère était de descendance écossaise et irlandaise. Elle fut baptisée du nom de Barbara Ramsay. Peu d'informations sur sa vie précédant sa notoriété publique sont actuellement parvenues jusqu'à nous, et ses biographes ont dû extrapoler des éléments de sa première nouvelle qui ressemblait à une semi-autobiographie. Elle se trouvait, avec ses parents, à New York entre 1738 et 1742, et à l'âge de 15 ans elle accepta de devenir une companion de sa gouvernante Mary Luckyn à Londres. Lorsqu'elle arriva à Londres, cependant, elle découvrit que Mary Luckyn était devenue folle, et cet emploi fut donc annulé. Elle servit alors de companion à Lady Isabella Finch. Son premier recueil de poésie fut intitulée Poems on Several Occasions, dédié à Lady Isabella Finch en 1747. Elle s'était elle-même préparée à son destin, condamnée à occuper une position de servante, mais un avenir plus prometteur s'ouvrit devant elle lorsqu'elle épousa Alexander Lennox, un écossais qui n'occupa que peu d'emplois. En fait, son seul emploi connu fut celui au service...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
