AUTHOR

Stendhal, Sturrock, John, Davis, Lydia

SUMMARY

"...an anticipation of our own age is manifested in Henry Brulard in the informing idea of conducting an exploratory archaelolgy of the self....Nearly a century before Freud and Proust, he is repeatedly aware of the elusiveness, the essential recalcitrance, of memory....Stendhal has an essentially comic vision of the self, which may be a little odd in a writer who embraced much of the agenda of the Romantic movement....To write about oneself from a comic perspective means to be able to turn the same unsparing satiric eye on oneself as others, and, without disavowing one's aspirations and great passions, to view them with a certain shrewd amusement. Stendhal's ability to do all this makes 'Henry Brulard' one of his most engaging books."Stendhal is the author of 'Life of Henry Brulard' with ISBN 9780940322899 and ISBN 0940322897.
