    Alfred de Musset

    Alfred de Musset (1810-1857) was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist. Born in Paris, he was raised in an upper-class family. Gifted from a young age, he showed an early interest in acting and storytelling and excelled as a student at the Lycée Henri-IV. After trying his hand at careers in law, art, and medicine, de Musset published his debut collection of poems to widespread acclaim. Recognized as a pioneering Romanticist, de Musset would base his most famous work, The Confession of a Child of the Century (1836), on his two-year love affair with French novelist George Sand. Although published anonymously, de Musset has also been identified as the author of Gamiani, or Two Nights of Excess (1833), a lesbian erotic novel. Believed to have been inspired by Sand, who dressed in men’s attire and pursued relationships with men and women throughout her life, Gamiani, or Two Passionate Nights was an immediate bestseller in France.

      Five Poems by Max Jacob

      Sep 15, 2018

      In the summer of 1935, the young Elizabeth Bishop, only recently graduated from Vassar College, set out on one of her many voyages. This was a trip to France. After a homesick crossing by ship, she spent a month in the small port of Douarnenez, on th

      The Grand Tour

      Feb 29, 2024

      OPERA’S VALUE AS A GUIDE TO negotiating the old vale of tears continues to be hotly debated — well, here, anyway; to be fair, it’s got to be a better bet than mime. On the plus side, you can expect loads of hot sex and a richly varied emotional life.

      The Sensory Manifesto

      Obsession Is Universal

      Apr 19, 2018

      Is there art without obsession? Obsession is endemic to the human condition.  It drives creation like sunlight nourishes plants. If artists are observers of human follies and failings, then depicting obsession comes with the terrain.  Three recently
