	Stendhal - MSN Encarta
		Stendhal derived his pseudonym from the German town Stendal, and it is the best-known of many pseudonyms that the author used.
		Stendhal dedicated his works to “the happy few,” whom he conceived of as an elite of extreme individualists who shared his belief in the necessity of skepticism and the value of energy and passion.
		Stendhal predicted he would not be understood until the 20th century, and it is true that his reputation has increased with each succeeding generation.

	Stendhal
		Stendhal's subjects are often melodramatic, but they form a fascinating frame for his psychologically deep stories of selfishness and different paths towards self-discovery.
		Stendhal's mother died when he was seven, and his pious aunt took care of his education with a Jesuit priest; he hated them both.
		Stendhal's political views were full of contradictions: his lack of success fueled his hostility towards the prevailing order but later, after achieving fame, he became a moderate conservative.

	Stendhal Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Stendhal was born Marie Henri Beyle on Jan. 23, 1783, in Grenoble.
		Stendhal's schooling was under the Ideologues, a group of 18th-century investigators of psychology, a training that set him apart from the later romantic authors.
		Through a witty analogy Stendhal suggested that the initial manifestation of love is no more than a "crystallization" about the loved one of qualities the lover wishes to find in him or her--a matter (to use a later terminology) of projection and ego-satisfaction little dependent upon the real qualities of the person who is loved.

	Stendhal Reviews
		Unfortunately, the pure brilliance of Stendhal was lost on this crowd: they weren't "loud" or "hard" enough for this crowd of young punks (who were probably missing their curfew to be there)...
		Granted, while Stendhal consumes its listeners with a spiraling wash of calculated freakouts (a la Red Crayola or Cromagnon) the theatrics are tempered with echoes of new wave enthusiasm (a la Jesus and Mary Chain or contemporaries Aerial Love Feed).
		Stendhal harkens back more to the early days of the movement (hell, I can even hear some influence from King Crimson at times) rather than trying to compare them to any modern acts as they experiment more with a physical sound than something that is computer generated.

	Stendhal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stendhal was a dandy and wit about town in Paris, as well as an inveterate skirt-chaser.
		In 1817 Stendhal reportedly was overcome by the cultural richness of Florence he encountered when he first visited the Tuscan city.
		In Stendhal's 1822 classic On Love he describes or compares the “birth of love”, in which the love object is crystallized in the mind, as being a process similar or analogous to a trip to Rome.

		Stendhal said he didn't expect readers who would understand him until 1890; but this was a movable rendezvous with the future.
		The ideal lover of Stendhal comes, as he did, from a family of conventional people in a provincial town - in his case Grenoble - which is snug, complacent and reactionary, both politically and socially.
		Stendhal's heroes owed all the grace and charm in their lives to women and so did he.

	CD Baby: STENDHAL: Impure
		Stendhal began from two ideas: modern music had grown stale, tasteless and unimaginative and live performances had become nothing more than glorified rehearsal.
		Stendhal's CD Impure could have easily been subtitled "Dare" simply because that is what they did.
		Much of this work is reflective of the early punk/goth transition, yet with the added machinations of objects that were never meant to be used as part of a music venue, they clearly brought the underground world full circle.

		Beyle used the pseudonym "Stendhal", supposedly chosen as an anagram of "Shetland" (although Georges Perec may have invented this explanation - references to Le Rouge et le Noir feature extensively in Perec's unfinished last novel 53 jours).
		Stendhal was an avid fan of music, particularly the composers Cimarosa, Mozart, and Rossini, the latter of whom he wrote an extensive biography, Vie de Rossini (1824), now more valued for its wide-ranging musical criticism than its historical accuracy.
		Stendhal's brief, saucy memoir, Souvenirs d'Egotisme (Memoirs of an Egotist) was published posthumously in 1892.

	The Red and the Black - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stendhal uses his flawed hero to satirize French society of the time, particularly the hypocrisy and materialism of its aristocracy and the Catholic Church, and to foretell a radical change in French society that will remove both of those forces from their positions of power.
		At the time Stendhal wrote The Red and the Black, the prose in novels included dialogue or omniscient descriptions, but Stendhal's great contribution was to spend much of the novel inside the characters' heads, describing their feelings and emotions and even their inner conversations.
		Stendhal's style was highly allusive, with copious references to the works of Voltaire, Friedrich Schiller, and William Shakespeare; quotes from Racine's play Phèdre and Byron's Don Juan; and to philosophers and thinkers who influenced Stendhal, such as John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

		Stendhal s'est souvent vanté d'écrire pour un petit nombre de ses contemporains : "J'écris pour des amis inconnus, une poignée d'élus qui me ressemblent : les happy few." indique-t-il dans la Vie d'Henry Brulard.
		A une époque où régnait le goût des envolées lyriques, Stendhal a eu en horreur l'éloquence et l'emphase.
		Dès 1821, Stendhal, qui décidément n'accordait que peu de confiance à ses contemporains, avait composé lui-même son épitaphe, en italien : "Henri Beyle, Milanais, vécut, aima, écrivit.

		They call it "Stendhal's syndrome" because the 19th-century French novelist is said to have been the first to write about the dizzying disorientation some tourists experience when they encounter masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance.
		Crowded Florence, cradle of the Renaissance, a city where palaces and monuments submerge the visitor, where each stone has a story, each corner a legend, is literally driving some tourists out of their mind.
		For decades, the malaise was known as the "tourist disease." Stendhal, visiting Florence for the first time in 1817, suffered a mild attack of the madness.

	Stendhal Biography \| Dictionary of Literary Biography
		Among the four greatest novelists of nineteenth-century France, Stendhal is noteworthy for the intensity of conscience and feeling in his characters, and for beginning his publication of fictional works later in life than did Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, and Emile Zola.
		Stendhal was usually preoccupied with self-image, and as a result he was by turns timid or brazen, sensitive or cynical, evasive or forthright, never sure of how he was being perceived by others.
		These aspects of his personality appear in the portraits of his heroes and in his narrative technique, but they may also account for his waiting until age forty-four to publish his first novel.
