Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating the centenary of Anthony Burgess’s birth, this book reveals the true relation that the British author had with France. It brings together a collection of papers by a selected group of academics who explore the sizeable French literary and musical heritage that inspired Burgess in his creations and adaptations. It shows that the portrait of Anthony Burgess would be incomplete if the importance and influence of French literary and musical works on his career are not considered. Adopting a multifaceted approach, the book includes numerous in-depth analyses of Anthony Burgess’s works in reference to famous French writers, such as Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Lévi-Strauss, Molière, and Rostand, and French composers, including Berlioz, Bizet, Boulez, Debussy, Ravel, and Saint-Saëns. These artists, indeed French culture in general, left a profound and indelible mark on Anthony Burgess.

Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage aborde la relation particulière qu'Anthony Burgess - le célèbre écrivain britannique également compositeur de musique savante - avait avec la France. Burgess, qui reste encore aujourd'hui principalement connu du grand public pour son roman L'Orange mécanique adapté au cinéma par Stanley Kubrick, avait en effet parmi ses multiples centres d'intérêt, un penchant pour la France. Cet intérêt particulier, moins connu du grand public, se retrouve à plusieurs niveaux chez lui. Le présent ouvrage propose d'en illustrer quelques aspects parmi les plus représentatifs. Il y est question, entre autres, d'explorer l'impact du legs littéraire et musical français sur les créations et les adaptations d'Anthony Burgess. Des analyses détaillées présentent quelques-unes de ses oeuvres en référence à des écrivains français de premier plan tels que Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Lévi-Strauss, Molière et Rostand, ainsi que des compositeurs français de grand renom dont Berlioz, Bizet, Boulez, Debussy, Ravel et Saint-Saëns. Cet ouvrage est la version française du livre Anthony Burgess and France, publié chez Cambridge Scholars Publishing en 2011, à l'occasion du centenaire de la naissance d'Anthony Burgess.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, taking an interdisciplinary approach, proposes a new insight into the relationship between literature and music through the prism of Anthony Burgessâ (TM)s works and those of his spiritual fathers, be they writers or composers. Exploring this relationship not only helps us to appreciate the complex mechanisms of certain artistic creations, but also demonstrates the parallels between these two major modes of artistic expression as well as showing the limits of trying to superimpose them. A selected panel of brilliant international scholars tackles the challenge of examining this relationship by providing original explanatory comments on the musicality of literature and the literary aspects of music. The book includes many pertinent references to a variety of artists ranging from musicians such as Mozart, Beethoven and Debussy to authors such as Joyce, Eliot and Huxley. Finally, it offers, through a wide spectrum of analyses, enrichment to scholars, students and general readers of the works of Burgess and of others in which literary and musical domains meet.
