Curiosities of Literature: A Book-lover
Curiosities Of Literature: A
Book-lover's Anthology Of
Literary Erudition
    How much heavier was
    Thackeray's brain than
    Walt Whitman's? Which
    novels do American
    soldiers read? When did
    cigarettes start making
    an appearance in English
    literature? And, while
    we're about it, who
    wrote the first Western,
    is there any link between
    asthma and literary
    genius, and what really
    happened on Dorothea's
    wedding night in
    Middlemarch?

    In
    Curiosities of
    Literature    , John
    Sutherland contemplates
    the full import of
    questions such as these,
    and attempts a few
    answers in a series of
    essays that are both
    witty and eclectic. His
    approach is also
    unashamedly discursive.
    An account of the
    fast-working Mickey
    Spillane, for example,
    leads to a consideration
    of the substances, both
    legal and illegal, that
    authors have employed to
    boost their creative
    energies. An essay on
    good and bad handwriting
    points out in passing
    that Thackeray could
    write the Lord's Prayer
    on the back of a stamp.
    As for Mary Shelley, a
    brief recital of the
    circumstances in which
    she wrote Frankenstein
    stops off to consider
    what impact the miserable
    summer weather of 1816
    had on the future path of
    English literature.


    Of course, it is
    debatable whether
    knowledge of these arcane
    topics adds to the wisdom
    of nations, but it does
    highlight the random
    pleasures to be found in
    reading literature and
    reading about it. As John
    Sutherland rightly asks,
    'Why else
    read?'
