New article

On reading this, it struck me that many of the works named were not inspired by Byron, but in fact by works that he had inspired - a generation of artistry removed, as it were. So I have been bold and created Cultural legacy of Mazeppa, as the section here was baggy and overly long in proportion to the rest of the article. No material has been lost, and over the past few hours I've added a lot more. Did you know that two million Americans saw one woman perform Mazeppa - and it wasn't even the most famous cross-dressing actress? Any additions or improvements would be very welcome there.

Meursault a hero?

'He compares Mazeppa to Meursault, the existentialist hero of Albert Camus' novel The Stranger (1942).'

Might not 'anti-hero' be a mite better? Protagonist, perhaps? Meursault is among the most contemptible characters in fiction, IMNSHO. 2401:D006:A202:7E00:B860:9CD6:CC1A:15B0 (talk) 19:43, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
