Amazon.com description: Product Description: Marie-Henri Beyle (1783 â1842), better known by his pen name Stendhal was a 19th-century French writer. Best known for the novels Le Rouge et le Noir (The Red and the Black, 1830) and La Chartreuse de Parme (The Charterhouse of Parma, 1839), he is highly regarded for the acute analysis of his charactersâ psychology and considered one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of realism. Contemporary readers did not fully appreciate Stendhalâs realistic style during the Romantic period in which he lived; he was not fully appreciated until the beginning of the 20th century. He dedicated his writing to âthe Happy Fewâ (in English in the original). This can be interpreted as a reference to Canto 11 of Byronâs Don Juan, which refers to âthe thousand happy fewâ who enjoy high society, or to the âwe few, we happy few, we band of brothersâ line of Shakespeareâs Henry V, but Stendhalâs use more likely refers to The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith, parts of which he had memorized in the course of teaching himself English. In The Vicar of Wakefield, âthe happy fewâ refers ironically to the small number of people who read the title characterâs obscure and pedantic treatise on monogamy. As a literary critic, such as in Racine and Shakespeare, Stendhal championed the Romantic aesthetic by unfavorably comparing the rules and strictures of Racineâs classicism to the freer verse and settings of Shakespeare, and supporting the writing of plays in prose. Today, Stendhalâs works attract attention for their irony and psychological and historical dimensions. Stendhal was an avid fan of music, particularly the works of the composers Cimarosa, Mozart and Rossini. He wrote a biography of Rossini, Vie de Rossini (1824), now more valued for its wide-ranging musical criticism than for its historical content.
