A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy (Annotated)

Laurence Sterne

Beschreibung

First published in 1768, “A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy” is a comic novel by Laurence Sterne. In 1765, Sterne travelled through France and Italy as far south as Naples, and after returning determined to describe his travels from a sentimental point of view.

“A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy,” a combination of autobiography, fiction, and travel writing, chronicles the journey through France of a charming and sensitive young man named Yorick and his servant La Fleur.

The novel was extremely popular and influential and helped establish travel writing as the dominant genre of the second half of the 18th century. It defies conventional expectations of what a travel book might be. Unlike prior travel accounts which stressed classical learning and objective non-personal points of view, “A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy” emphasized the subjective discussions of personal taste and sentiments, of manners and morals over classical learning. An apparently random collection of scattered experiences, it mingles affecting vignettes with episodes in a heartier, comic mode, but coherence of imagination is secured by the delicate insistence with which Sterne ponders how the impulses of sentimental and erotic feeling are psychologically interdependent.

Hemingway's Passions - His Women...

Nancy W Sindelar, Mariel Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway's passion was writing, and he was inspired by a lifetime of daring adventures and encouraged by the many women in his life. His masculine, adventurous spirit appealed to women of all ages, including four wives and a long list of legendary actresses, and he frequently transformed the women in his life into memorable fictional characters. 
 
 
 
In 1950, Hemingway told Marlene Dietrich that he truly loved only five women. Who were these women and why did he love them? Some of them may have included his wives, but there were others too, among them Agnes von Kurowsky. Through quotations from his works and personal letters, Hemingway scholar Nancy W. Sindelar captures Hemingway's life and romantic adventures, revealing his own feelings about his romantic relationships and the ways his experiences with women appear in his literary works. 
 
 
 
Much has been written about Hemingway, but to date no book has linked the women he loved to his written work. The stories of Hemingway's romantic relationships reveal not only the influence these women had on his writing but also his personal ambition, heartbreak, and literary triumphs and trials. Sindelar's provocative analyses of Hemingway's literature give fresh insight into the life of a legendary author, outdoorsman, adventurer, and lover.

Herman Melville - A Very Short...

Maurice S. Lee

Best known as the author of Moby-Dick (1851), Herman Melville is one of America's greatest writers. His achievements range from popular novels and experimental fiction to powerful poetry. His works are tragic and funny, impassioned and ironic, obsessed with philosophical seeking and attuned to the details of everyday life. Melville engaged the pressing issues of his day, from economic inequality and the American slavery crisis to the rise of science and the fragility of democracy. He dwelled on timeless questions about loneliness and intimacy, moral and political responsibility, the limits of our knowledge and agency, and the place of human beings within nature and the cosmos.Melville's life was dramatic, and his career improbable. He was born into privilege, fell into poverty as an adolescent, hunted whales and lived with the Tai Pi people of Polynesia, served in the United States Navy, skyrocketed to fame as a novelist, ruined his career by challenging religious, political, sexual, and artistic conventions, reinvented himself as a poet, and died in relative obscurity just as readers began to appreciate his genius. The scope and diversity of Melville's literature reflects an artist of restless ambition. Herman Melville: A Very Short Introduction helps listeners explore the richness of his work.
