Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pastiche and Prejudice Writing of Lamennais, Renan says: "Il créa avec des reminiscences de la Bible et du langage ecclesiastique cette maniere harmonieuse et grandiose qui realise le phenomene unique dans l´histoire litteraire d´un pastiche de genie." Renan was nothing if not fastidious, and "unique" is a hard word, for which I should like to substitute the milder "rare." Pastiches "of genius" are rare because genius is rare in any kind, and more than ever rare in that kind wherein the writer deliberately forgoes his own natural, instinctive form of expression for an alien form. But even fairly plausible pastiches are rare, for the simple reason that though, with taste and application, and above all an anxious care for style, you may succeed in mimicking the literary form of another author or another age, it is impossible for you to reproduce their spirit - since no two human beings in this world are identical. Perhaps the easiest of all kinds is the theatrical "imitation," because all that is to be imitated is voice, tone, gesture - an actor´s words not being his own - yet I have never seen one that got beyond parody. The sense of an audience is not fine enough to appreciate exact imitation; it demands exaggeration, caricature.
