ForeWord Magazine selected this title as one of its Big Ten Picks from University Presses for 2003. Berlioz sheds light on topics as diverse as the 1855 Universal Exposition, the Queen of Tahiti, the uselessness of proverbs, and the joys [and woes] of traveling through the French countryside. . . . Richly illustrated. . . . Enjoyable and edifying to musicologists and non-specialists alike. NINETEENTH-CENTURY FRENCH STUDIES [William Gibbons] Click here for full review. Berlioz's humor is solidly based on deeply serious groundwork, so readers will find as much to ponder here as to enjoy. The translation is faithful to Berlioz's words and his tone. All in all, a joy. CHOICE The importance of Les Grotesques and the widespread British appreciation of Berlioz in recent decades make it surprising that there should have been no previous English translation. Alastair Bruce remedies the situation in admirable fashion: his version preserves the scathing, streetwise tone of the original. . . this translation will significantly enhance the English reader's understanding of Berlioz. TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT, December 2004 Berlioz's most concentrated exploration of the absurd...is the Berliozian translator's Everest; and Bruce's response to the challenge is simply magnificent. . . Inspired. . . an enviable model. . . Prefaced by a deft introduction from Hugh Macdonald, interspersed with a selection of caricatures and engravings. MUSIC AND LETTERS This translation is highly recommended as a means of gaining insight into many aspects of the nineteenth century as well as being an introduction to a wide range of Berlioz's writings. One can understand why Bruce took on this labor of love: there is so much here that deserves to be more widely known than currently it is. . . . [A] translation such as this is to be warmly welcomed and applauded for the success with which Bruce has retained the energy and nuances of Berlioz's writing and produced first-rate critical apparatus.
