• W3137699080 abstract "exploring the place of literature in her everyday life.A picture emerges of a writer who never abandoned her idealism. Of particular interest are her friendships with Dumas fils and Champfleury, her appreciation for her American contemporaries Cooper and Beecher-Stowe, and her epistolary exchanges with fans. It is high time we discover this amazingly prolific period that saw the completion of Histoire de ma vie and produced eight novels, fifteen plays, numerous articles, and a thirty-volume Correspondance. Delamaire’s ambitious and important book thus opens new vistas while filling a large void in Sand scholarship. University of New Orleans Juliana Starr Dénier, Renée. Count Stendhal: Henri Beyle et l’Angleterre. Paris: Philippe Rey, 2012. ISBN 978-2-84876-200-5. Pp. 205. 17 a. This slim volume explores the role, dimensions, and influence of British culture in Stendhal’s life and writing.Overshadowed by his enduring passion for Italy,Stendhal’s interactions with England, its society, its politics, and especially its literature have remained largely unexamined. And yet, Stendhal lived in an age of Anglomania, read British authors with intense devotion, and on three occasions spent between one and three months in England (1817, 1821, and 1826). Renée Dénier—agrégée d’anglais, translator into English of Stendhal’s Chroniques pour l’Angleterre, and (one suspects) anglophile herself—seeks to give proper due to England’s impact on the man known across the Channel as Count Stendhal. The book’s structure is bipartite. After a brief biographical presentation and short introduction, part one is devoted to relating Stendhal’s contacts with England: first through the often stereotyped but evolving images of English men and women prevalent in France in the early nineteenth century; next through Stendhal’s youthful, enthusiastic readings of Walter Scott, Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, Sterne, Cowper, Thomson, Gray, Young, Ossian, Burns, Byron and above all, Shakespeare; and finally through his study—leading to rather eccentric use—of the English language. Part two explores the image of England that appears throughout Stendhal’s writings: assessments of particular books and individuals; broader evaluations of political affairs, the social order, and history; ambivalent appreciations of the British way of life, dominated by‘tyranny of the improper,’yet tempered by England’s rich natural beauty. The opening pages of Count Stendhal present a fictive conversation between Stendhal and his London friend, Sutton Sharpe, where Stendhal gives a first-person account of his life.This rather awkward preface,banal in its content, gives little indication that in the chapters that follow Dénier’s scholarly method is that of categorizing the 1600 fragmentary allusions to England and/or things British sown throughout Stendhal’s oeuvre. She quotes widely, both from Stendhal and from others. The result is productive, but rather unsatisfactory, in that these mentions are given without indication of their source. Dénier states that she has refused to name names 214 FRENCH REVIEW 87.4 Reviews 215 within the text, or in footnotes, in order to promote readability. More often than not, however, frustration rather than ease results from this lack of specificity. In a similar vein, the brief critical bibliography that rounds out the volume is general in nature and disappointingly uninformative. Dénier is at her best in drawing conclusions from her thematic review of the persistent,dispersed allusions to British culture in Stendhal’s life and writings.Far from being the object of a systematic,didactic discourse,Stendhal’s England is constantly evolving, fluid enough to encompass inconsistencies and contradictions . More than a mirror of reality, it is an intellectual construct. Although Count Stendhal may be of limited use to scholars who want to further explore the topic, it brings together facets of British culture that make England, in his writings and life, the counterpoint and complement of his imaginary creation of Italy.
