A Lion for Love

Industry Reviews

A A Lion for Love is a model of critical biography--a fascinating biography of a fascinating man. -- Larry McMurty Washington Star The publication of A Lion for Love, by Robert Alter with the collaboration of his wife, Carol Cosman, supplies at last a fine, perceptive, concise critical biography of Stendhal, written with a clarity and good sense worthy of its subject...Alter and Cosman...wear their erudition with becoming lightness. -- John Simon New Leader This excellent short biography...brings out both the charms and the complexities of Stendhal.

SINCE OPENING IN 2003, CHAWTON HOUSE LIBRARY has championed individual and collaborative research on early women’s writing of the period 1600-1830, and on Jane Austen herself. We have also welcomed group tours and visits by schools, and hosted a wide variety of talks, workshops, and conferences. In response to the growing demand from the visiting public, we opened, in March 2015, to people who wanted to visit at their own pace and to see what Chawton House Library had to offer, both in terms of the historic property itself—the Elizabethan Manor that belonged to Jane Austen’s brother Edward—and in terms of the library collection. In 2016—following several generous grants to purchase new climate-controlled display cases for our books—we were able to curate our first major exhibition, focusing on Jane Austen’s Emma in its bicentenary year: Jane Austen’s Emma at 200: From English Village to Global Appeal (21 March through 25 September 2016).
