Book Review: The art of fiction by David Lodge (Penguin) - Part 7

Here are my favourite quotes/notes. I also added fun videos and/or links. This should not deter you from reading the whole book which is made up of texts and explanations and is fascinating and engaging.

18 - Weather

Apart from the odd storm at sea, weather was given scant attention in prose fiction until the eighteenth century. In the nineteenth, novelists always seem to be talking about it. This was the consequence partly of the heightened appreciation of Nature engendered by Romantic poetry and painting, partly of a growing literary interest in the individual self, in states of feeling that affect and are affected by our perceptions of the external world.
We all know that the weather addects our moods. [...] Weather is therefore a trigger for the effect John Ruskin called the pathetic fallacy, the projection of human emotions onto phenomena in the natural world.

19 - Repetition

to strenghthen associations
a characteristic feature of religious and mystical writing
a favourite device of orators and preachers
it can also be funny
recurrence of a thematic keyword throughout an entire novel

TEDEd lesson about poetic repetition.

20 - Fancy prose (= poetic prose)

The golden rule of fictional prose is that there are no rules -- except the ones that each writer sets for him or herself. Repetition and simplicity worked (usually) for Hemingway's artistic purposes. Variation and decoration worked for Nabokov's, especially in Lolita.
