I've read short stories that are as dense as a 19th century novel and novels that really are short stories filled with a lot of helium.
Nantucket was a Quaker-based culture, so they were not readers. There's a great Nantucket-based novel from the 19th century that Melville read for his research for 'Moby-Dick': 'Miriam Coffin' by Joseph Hart.
I am now seventy, rather glad, really, that I won't live to see the horrors to come in the 21st century.
Balzac loved courtesans. They were independent women, and in the 19th century, that was a breed that was just evolving.
Are we really so far from the Victorians? Much of what our society holds important was shaped in the 19th century.
Movies were very important. The art-form of the 20th century.
Independence is the only way Scotland can realise its full political and cultural potential in the 21st century.
I couldn't care less about fashion. If I had taken any clothes home, they would have remained in my closet for the rest of their existence.
I have made my living bearing witness to some of the most horrific events of the end of our century, at the end of the 20th century.
