Well, it is in some ways.<br /><br />Anyway, try "The Sandman" or "Master Flea" or whichever story of about the clockwork girl for something quite different. I should do a big Hoffmann reread and roundup some time.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-54699653090102590682010-10-20T05:04:39.004-05:002010-10-20T05:04:39.004-05:00I've read Mademoiselle de Scudery, it's on...I've read Mademoiselle de Scudery, it's on my blog in fact.

Its length alone goes against his aesthetic theory.<BR/><BR/>Oddly, I do have a morbid curiosity drawing me towards recent novels featuring "Detective Jane Austen and Inspector Oscar Wilde and Special Agent Walt Whitman." I'm sure there's a good reason why I'm hesitating though. I have read "The Dante Club" though!Rob Velellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284492589098267999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-70986063302886295322009-02-19T11:44:00.000-06:002009-02-19T11:44:00.000-06:00Very interesting post.
