"... Élevé à cette école, il adora le succès, et apprit à l'enlever violemment plutôt qu'à le mériter. Souvent il joignit le charlatanisme à la gloire. Ce qui était saillie légère et caprice facétieux chez nos braves enfants du Midi, devint un grave calcul chez le fils des Saxons. Ces vives et pétulantes boutades qui étincèlent dans la causerie, qui donnent tant de relief à la guerre et à l'amour, et qui, dans la mêlée sanglante, apparaissent comme les lueurs des glaives qui se heurtent, ont besoin, pour être aimées ou pardonnées, d'une légèreté presque enfantine et d'une grâce insouciante. Raleigh prit au sérieux l'humeur gasconne ; il en fit le poème épique de sa vie. Dans les grandes entreprises, dans les sombres conjurations, dans les longues traversées et les colonisations périlleuses, il fut Mascarille ou Scapin. Bariolant de traits sublimes ce charlatanisme gigantesque, nul homme (quoi qu'en ait dit la Revue d'Édimbourg) n'a mieux menti, n'a plus souvent, n'a plus témérairement menti..."

" Le château de Bretby, dans le Derbyshire, renfermait, en octobre 1725, deux personnages fort dissemblables: un vieillard austère et morose étendu sur son lit de mort, et un jeune courtisan, son fils, qui venait recevoir les derniers soupirs paternels. Ils s'étaient toujours mutuellement détestés, et l'on ne peut guère imaginer de caractères moins sympathiques. Le vieux comte (earl), défiant et ombrageux, ne voulant jouer aucun rôle à la cour ou dans le monde, avait réfugié sa sauvage humeur dans ce domaine antique où l'orfraie, le hibou et le corbeau tenaient depuis longtemps leurs assises 2, et que le fils dépeint de couleurs si lugubres, tout en racontant gaiement l'agonie paternelle. Vous ne pouvez, écrit-il à la belle mistriss Howard, la femme à la mode de ce temps, vous ne pouvez rien imaginer de plus odieux que ce donjon qui par malheur, n'est pas encore à moi, et qui est horrible : il me fait l'effet de l'enfer. Mon père, là-bas, pousse des hurlements effroyables, et tombe dans des convulsions auxquelles personne ne survivrait que lui ; les oiseaux de mauvais augure mêlent leur voix à la sienne, et le peu de figures humaines qui m'approchent sont des figures de damnés. Ma foi ! j'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour ma piété filiale, je suis aussi estimable qu'Énée..."

" En juillet 1838, lord Melbourne disait à la chambre des lords d'Angleterre que de tous les excentriques modernes, M. Burke lui semblait un des plus étranges, que ses vues étaient impraticables et ses idées chimériques, qu'il n'y avait dans ses jugements et dans ses paroles qu'exagération et extravagance, qu'il n'admettait rien de modéré, point de modifications, point de transactions ; enfin que son caractère, comme ses théories, se composait de violences contradictoires et inadmissibles. Plusieurs années auparavant, le philosophe et poète Coleridge, dans sa Biographia litteraria, avait imprimé ce qui suit : Personne ne fut jamais plus droit, plus vrai, plus ferme, plus conséquent à lui-même, d'un bon sens plus pratique et d'un génie plus sévèrement logique qu'Edmond Burke. Il ne s'est jamais démenti, il n'a jamais varié. C'est le modèle des hommes politiques. ..."

While literature does not change, it also does not deteriorate. Naturally, certain aspects of it may be disregarded and become obscure.

We stand at the crossroads of two remarkable eras: the golden age of memoir and the golden age of publishing. This is an exciting time for memoir readers. However, for memoir writers, it presents a formidable challenge. In a saturated market brimming with competition, how do you captivate the hearts of readers and the discerning eyes of publishers?Cheryl Strayed, the celebrated author of the wildly successful memoir Wild, reveals a crucial secret: "The most powerful strand in memoir is . . . tapping into your universality." You mine "your" story for "our" story, the universal inside of the unique, the archetypal inside of the personal-that's where the gold lies.While many books on memoir writing acknowledge this, none are dedicated to showing you precisely how to and where to tap into the universal. Until now. In Deep Memoir, author and popular memoir teacher Jennifer Leigh Selig distills decades of experience in writing, teaching, and research into nine chapters focused on the archetypes essential to memoir writing:¿ The Storyteller¿ Structure¿ The Journey¿ Character¿ Truth¿ Meaning¿ Image ¿ Transformation¿ CommunityDeep Memoir is not just a book; it's an odyssey into the heart of memoir writing. Enriched with examples from over 140 memoirs and the stories of their creators, and enhanced by cutting-edge neuroscience about our brain's affinity and affection for archetypal patterns, this book is an indispensable companion for all memoir writers seeking to enrich their storytelling and expand their reach.
