Synopsis

The articles which Stendhal contributed as French correspondent for the London Magazine, New Monthly Magazine and other English reviews of the 1820s are here brought together in a single volume, the only edition available in English. In them Stendhal - defying fashion and giving proof of the bold originality of his creative writing - provides an illuminating and often entertaining commentary on the politics and mores of post-Napoleonic France and Italy, and reveals his outstanding and all too rarely acknowledged gifts as a reviewer and literary critic.

Together with the articles from the English reviews, this edition includes translations of articles, essays and notes on Corneille, Scott and Lord Byron, who was on terms of close acquaintance with Stendhal during his stay in Milan in 1816.

Alma Classics is committed to make available the widest range of literature from around the globe. All the titles are provided with an extensive critical apparatus, extra reading material including a section of photographs and notes. The texts are based on the most authoritative edition (or collated from the most authoritative editions or manuscripts) and edited using a fresh, intelligent editorial approach. With an emphasis on the production, editorial and typographical values of a book, Alma Classics aspires to revitalize the whole experience of reading the classics.
