Book Synopsis Robert Louis Stevenson and Nineteenth Century French Literature by : Katherine Ashley

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comparative literary history that explores Robert Louis Stevenson and French literature This study looks at French literature from Stevenson's perspective and at Stevenson from a French perspective. Shedding light on how Stevenson's use of French contributes to his distinct style, and how and why the earliest French critics translated, disseminated and interpreted his books, it does so in context of the debates surrounding the development of the novel at the fin de siècle. Readers learn how the artistic debates taking place in France contributed to the evolution of Stevenson's art, but also how Stevenson became a model of literary innovation for French authors and critics who were seeking to renew the French novel. Katherine Ashley teaches French, English and Translation at Acadia University (Nova Scotia, Canada).

Book Synopsis Robert Louis Stevenson's Thoughts on Walking - Walking Tours - A Night among the Pines - Forest Notes by : Robert Louis Stevenson
Download or read book Robert Louis Stevenson's Thoughts on Walking - Walking Tours - A Night among the Pines - Forest Notes written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It must not be imagined that a walking tour, as some would have us fancy, is merely a better or worse way of seeing the country. There are many ways of seeing landscape quite as good; and none more vivid, in spite of canting dilettanti, than from a railway train. But landscape on a walking tour is quite accessory. He who is indeed of the brotherhood does not voyage in quest of the picturesque, but of certain jolly humours-of the hope and spirit with which the march begins at morning, and the peace and spiritual repletion of the evening's rest.

Book Synopsis In the Track of Robert Louis Stevenson and Elsewhere in Old France by : John Alexander Hammerton
Download or read book In the Track of Robert Louis Stevenson and Elsewhere in Old France written by John Alexander Hammerton and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mountainous district of France to which, somewhat loosely, Stevenson applies the name Cevennes, lies along the western confines of Provence, and overlaps on several departments, chief of which are Ardèche, Lozère, Gard, and Herault. In many parts the villages and the people have far less in common with France and the French than Normandy and the Normans have with provincial England. Here in these mountain fastnesses and sheltered valleys the course of life has flowed along almost changeless for centuries, and here, too, we shall find much that is best in the romantic history and natural grandeur of France. Remote from Paris, and happily without the area of the "cheap trip" organisers, it is likely to remain for ever "off the beaten track." In order to visit the Cevennes proper, the beautiful town of Mende would be the best starting-place. But since my purpose was to strike the trail of R. L. S., after some wanderings awheel northward of Clermont Ferrand, I approached the district from Le Puy, a town which so excellent a judge as Mr. Joseph Pennell has voted the most picturesque in Europe. Besides, Stevenson himself had often wandered through its quaint, unusual streets, while preparing for his memorable journey with immortal Modestine. "I decided on a sleeping sack," he says; "and after repeated visits to Le Puy, and a deal of high living for myself and my advisers, a sleeping sack was designed, constructed, and triumphantly brought home." At that time the wanderer's "home" was in the mountain town of Le Monastier, some fifteen miles south-east of Le Puy, and there in the autumn of 1877 he spent "about a month of fine days," variously occupied in completing his New Arabian Nights and Picturesque Notes on Edinburgh, and conducting, with no little personal and general entertainment, the preliminaries of his projected journey through the Cevennes.
