And second, it is much, much bigger. The relation between the Academy and the Lyceum is a little like that between a twee medieval Cambridge College and the monumental architecture of the University of Chicago.

Son enterrement au cimetière monumental de Rouen se déroule le 11 mai 1880, en présence de nombreux écrivains importants qui le reconnaissent comme leur maître, qu’il s’agisse d’Émile Zola, d’Alphonse Daudet, d’Edmond de Goncourt, de Théodore de Banville ou de Guy de Maupassant, dont il avait encouragé la carrière depuis 1873.

ellauri365.html on line 249: « Ce soir dans un atelier de la rue de Fleurus, le jeune Maupassant fait représenter une pièce obscène de sa composition, intitulée FEUILLE DE ROSE et joué par lui et ses amis. C'est lugubre, ces jeunes hommes travestis en femmes, avec la peinture sur leurs maillots d'un large sexe entrebâillé ; et je ne sais quelle répulsion vous vient involontairement pour ces comédiens s'attouchant et faisant entre eux le simulacre de la gymnastique d'amour. L'ouverture de la pièce, c'est un jeune séminariste qui lave des capotes. Il y a au milieu une danse d'almées sous l'érection d'un phallus monumental et la pièce se termine par une branlade presque nature. Je me demandais de quelle absence de pudeur naturelle il fallait être doué pour mimer cela devant un public, tout en m'efforçant de dissimuler mon dégoût, qui aurait pu paraître singulier de la part de l'auteur de LA FILLE ELISA. Le monstrueux, c'est que le père de l'auteur, le père de Maupassant, assistait à la représentation. Cinq ou six femmes, entre autres la blonde Valtesse, se trouvaient là, mais riant du bout des lèvres par contenance, mais gênées par la trop grande ordure de la chose. Lagier elle-même ne restait pas jusqu'à la fin de la représentation. Le lendemain, Flaubert, parlant de la représentation avec enthousiasme, trouvait, pour la caractériser, la phrase : « Oui, c'est très frais ! » Frais pour cette salauderie, c'est vraiment une trouvaille. »

"Walt Whitman is America’s world poet—a latter-day successor to Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Shakespeare. In Leaves of Grass (1855, 1891-2), he celebrated democracy, nature, love, and friendship. This monumental work chanted praises to the body as well as to the soul, and found limited beauty and reassurance even in death." Whitman’s self-published Leaves of Grass was inspired in part by his travels through the American frontier and by his admiration for Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ylläri.

Writing in the Los Angeles Times in 2000, US film critic Kenneth Turan called it a "monumental" work, and "one of the most potent documentaries ever made".The Arts Desk (UK) called it simply "the greatest documentary ever made about France during the Second World War".

Schumpeter’s monumental 1,260-page History of Economic Analysis. Yet this non-existent theory* has become the object of denunciations from the pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post to the political arena. It has been attacked by Professor Paul Krugman of Princeton and Professor Peter Corning of Stanford, among others, and similar attacks have been repeated as far away as India. It is a classic example of arguing against a caricature instead of confronting the argument actually made.”

Yet the New York Herald Tribune's book critic Lewis Gannett foresaw that the book would not prove popular with its bleak depiction of New York's Lower East Side, but wrote readers would "remember it and talk about it and watch excitedly" for Roth's next book. Call It Sleep sold slowly and poorly, and after it was out-of-print, critics writing in magazines such as Commentary and Partisan Review kept praising it, and asking for it to be reprinted. After being republished in hardback in 1960 and paperback in 1964, with more than 1,000,000 copies sold, and many weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, the novel was hailed as an overlooked Depression-era masterpiece and classic novel of immigration. Today, it is widely regarded as a masterpiece of Jewish American literature.

After Muriel's death in 1990, Roth moved into a ramshackle former funeral parlor and occupied himself with revising the final volumes of his monumental work, Mercy of a Rude Stream. It has been alleged that the incestuous relationships between the protagonist, a sister, and a cousin in Mercy of a Rude Stream are based on Roth's life. Roth's own sister denied that such events occurred. Roth attributed his massive writer's block to personal problems such as depression, and to political conflicts, including his disillusion with Communism. At other times he cited his early break with Judaism and his obsessive sexual preoccupations as probable causes. Roth died in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States in 1995. The character E. I. Lonoff in Philip Roth's Zuckerman novels (The Ghost Writer and Exit Ghost in this case), is a composite of Roth, Bernard Malamud and fictional elements.
