Sinopsis

In "Notes on Novelists, with Some Other Notes," Henry James offers a profound exploration of the intricacies of novel writing, reflecting on the works of his contemporaries while weaving in his astute insights on the craft. James employs a sophisticated literary style, marked by his characteristic attention to detail and psychological nuance, as he dissects the techniques and themes present in the novels of authors like Mark Twain, George Eliot, and Thomas Hardy. Located within the wider context of literary criticism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this work serves both as a homage to the novel form and as an intellectual exercise in understanding the relationship between authorship and narrative form. Henry James, a central figure in the literary landscape of his time, lived through a transformative period for literature. His transatlantic experiences and keen interest in cultural differences profoundly influenced his writing. A master of character development and psychological depth, he approached the analysis of other writers not just as a critic but as a seasoned novelist himself, allowing readers unique access to his thought process and artistic values. This book is an essential read for anyone fascinated by the craft of writing and the literary world. It invites readers to delve into James's observations, gaining insights that are not only relevant to the novelists he critiques but are also applicable to contemporary storytelling. Whether you are a aspiring author, a literary scholar, or a passionate reader, James's reflections are bound to enrich your appreciation of literature.

    At a certain stage in your sales process, your prospect realizes they have a need—ideally due to your exceptional selling skills. As you guide them from recognizing this need through analysis and finally to making a decision, what is on their mind? Consciously or subconsciously, buyers are always weighing the balance of performance, image, and price (PIP). These three factors are perceived differently by each individual, and perceptions can shift over time. In the current economy, it’s crucial to recognize that the relationship between these factors is undergoing significant changes. Marketing must adapt products and messages to align with these shifts, while sales teams need to adjust their presentations, ask new questions, and carefully consider the responses they receive. 
      
    So, what are these three principles, and how should they be managed? 
      
    Performance – For consumers, the concept of performance is evolving. Consider a consumer’s most significant purchase—a home. The idea that "bigger is better" is no longer valid. Consumers are less willing to endure long commutes in exchange for a large house. While the size of a family may change, the desire for a larger home has diminished. Business buyers are experiencing a similar shift. Product and service claims will be scrutinized more closely, and investments that don’t offer a quick return will be avoided. If you thought businesses were short-sighted before, expect this trend to intensify. 
      
    Image – Image remains important, but it’s constantly changing. For consumers, image is increasingly about what a product or service represents to them personally. A homebuyer might choose a smaller house closer to work, but they’ll still want it to reflect their lifestyle. Some images may even become anti-conspicuous. Businesses will also adjust their views on image.

    Poor Tom - Living King Lear

    King Lear is perhaps the most fierce and moving play ever written. And yet there is a curious puzzle at its center. The figure to whom Shakespeare gives more lines than anyone except the king—Edgar—has often seemed little more than a blank, ignored and unloved, a belated moralizer who, try as he may, can never truly speak to the play’s savaged heart. He saves his blinded father from suicide, but even this act of care is shadowed by suspicions of evasiveness and bad faith. In Poor Tom, Simon Palfrey asks us to go beyond any such received understandings—and thus to experience King Lear as never before. He argues that the part of Edgar is Shakespeare’s most radical experiment in characterization, and his most exhaustive model of both human and theatrical possibility. The key to the Edgar character is that he spends most of the play disguised, much of it as “Poor Tom of Bedlam,” and his disguises come to uncanny life. The Edgar role is always more than one person; it animates multitudes, past and present and future, and gives life to states of being beyond the normal reach of the senses—undead, or not-yet, or ghostly, or possible rather than actual. And because the Edgar role both connects and retunes all of the figures and scenes in King Lear, close attention to this particular part can shine stunning new light on how the whole play works. The ultimate message of Palfrey’s bravura analysis is the same for readers or actors or audiences as it is for the characters in the play: see and listen feelingly; pay attention, especially when it seems as though there is nothing there.
