Book Synopsis Anthony Burgess and France by : Marc Jeannin
Download or read book Anthony Burgess and France written by Marc Jeannin and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating the centenary of Anthony Burgess’s birth, this book reveals the true relation that the British author had with France. It brings together a collection of papers by a selected group of academics who explore the sizeable French literary and musical heritage that inspired Burgess in his creations and adaptations. It shows that the portrait of Anthony Burgess would be incomplete if the importance and influence of French literary and musical works on his career are not considered. Adopting a multifaceted approach, the book includes numerous in-depth analyses of Anthony Burgess’s works in reference to famous French writers, such as Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Lévi-Strauss, Molière, and Rostand, and French composers, including Berlioz, Bizet, Boulez, Debussy, Ravel, and Saint-Saëns. These artists, indeed French culture in general, left a profound and indelible mark on Anthony Burgess.

Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage aborde la relation particulière qu'Anthony Burgess - le célèbre écrivain britannique également compositeur de musique savante - avait avec la France. Burgess, qui reste encore aujourd'hui principalement connu du grand public pour son roman L'Orange mécanique adapté au cinéma par Stanley Kubrick, avait en effet parmi ses multiples centres d'intérêt, un penchant pour la France. Cet intérêt particulier, moins connu du grand public, se retrouve à plusieurs niveaux chez lui. Le présent ouvrage propose d'en illustrer quelques aspects parmi les plus représentatifs. Il y est question, entre autres, d'explorer l'impact du legs littéraire et musical français sur les créations et les adaptations d'Anthony Burgess. Des analyses détaillées présentent quelques-unes de ses oeuvres en référence à des écrivains français de premier plan tels que Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Lévi-Strauss, Molière et Rostand, ainsi que des compositeurs français de grand renom dont Berlioz, Bizet, Boulez, Debussy, Ravel et Saint-Saëns. Cet ouvrage est la version française du livre Anthony Burgess and France, publié chez Cambridge Scholars Publishing en 2011, à l'occasion du centenaire de la naissance d'Anthony Burgess.

Download or read book Anthony Burgess written by Marc Jeannin and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, taking an interdisciplinary approach, proposes a new insight into the relationship between literature and music through the prism of Anthony Burgessâ (TM)s works and those of his spiritual fathers, be they writers or composers. Exploring this relationship not only helps us to appreciate the complex mechanisms of certain artistic creations, but also demonstrates the parallels between these two major modes of artistic expression as well as showing the limits of trying to superimpose them. A selected panel of brilliant international scholars tackles the challenge of examining this relationship by providing original explanatory comments on the musicality of literature and the literary aspects of music. The book includes many pertinent references to a variety of artists ranging from musicians such as Mozart, Beethoven and Debussy to authors such as Joyce, Eliot and Huxley. Finally, it offers, through a wide spectrum of analyses, enrichment to scholars, students and general readers of the works of Burgess and of others in which literary and musical domains meet.

Book Synopsis The Aesthetics of Anthony Burgess by : Jim Clarke
Download or read book The Aesthetics of Anthony Burgess written by Jim Clarke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is the first full-length text on Anthony Burgess's fiction in a generation, and offers a radical and innovative way of understanding the extensive literary achievements of one of the twentieth century's most innovative authors. This book explores Burgess's dazzlingly diverse range of novels through the one key theme which links them all – the artistic process itself. Borrowing from Nietzsche's aesthetic dichotomy of Apollo and Dionysus, the book uncovers the protracted evolution of Burgess's fiction and offers a unifying theory which links his early postcolonial fiction chronologically, via his modernist experiments like A Clockwork Orange and Nothing Like The Sun, to his late classics Mozart and the Wolfgang and A Dead Man in Deptford. This volume clarifies Burgess's seminal role as both late modernist and early postmodernist, and lucidly unveils the legacy of England's most mercurial novelist.

Book Synopsis Collected Poems by : Anthony Burgess
Download or read book Collected Poems written by Anthony Burgess and published by Carcanet Press Ltd. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Anthony Burgess Wilson (1917-93) was an industrious writer. He published over fifty books, thousands of essays and numerous drafts and fragments survive. He predicted many of the struggles and challenges of his own and the following century. His most famous book is A Clockwork Orange (1962), later adapted into a controversial film by Stanley Kubrick. The linguistic innovations of that novel, the strict formal devices used to contain them, and its range of themes are all to be found too in Burgess's poetry, an area of his work where he was at once most free and most experimental. It is his least exposed and most complex and eloquent area of achievement, now revealed at last in all its richness. His flair for words, formal discipline, experimentalism, and fondness for variousness mark every page.

Book Synopsis You've Had Your Time by : Anthony Burgess
Download or read book You've Had Your Time written by Anthony Burgess and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After returning from a trip to Brunei, Anthony Burgess, initially believing he has only a year to live, begins to write - novels, film scripts, television series, articles. It is the life of a man desperate to earn a living through the written word. He finds at first that writing brings little success, and later that success, and the obligations it brings, interfere with his writing - especially of fiction. There were vast Hollywood projects destined never to be made, novels the critics snarled at, journalism that scandalised the morally scrupulous. There is the éclat of A Clockwork Orange (and the consequent calls for Burgess to comment on violent atrocities), the huge success - after a long barren period - of Earthly Powers. There is a terrifying first marriage, his description of which is both painful and funny. His second marriage - and the discovery that he has a four-year-old son - changes his life dramatically, and he and Liana escape to the Mediterranean, for an increasingly European life. With this marriage comes the triumphant rebirth of sex, creative energy and travel - to America, to Australia and all over Europe.
