Talk:Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly

[Untitled]
The writer states that Barbey had a "decisive influence" on Henry James. It would be desirable for him/her to give references for this surprising assertion, since in James's critical writings references to D'Aurevilly are conspicuous by their near-total absence. Dandyism, in particular, was not much favoured by James.

Translation of What Never Dies by Melmoth
In the article What Never Dies, there is the statement "An English translation was published in 1902, falsely attributed to Oscar Wilde under his pseudonym Sebastian Melmoth". Reviewing the source,, I agree. There is reason for disputing the attribution. I plan on updating this page, unless there is another counter-claim. - DutchTreat (talk) 14:21, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
