"Pastiche and Prejudice" by Arthur Bingham Walkley is a collection of essays and critiques written during the early 20th century. The work explores various literary forms, especially focusing on the concept of pastiche as a creative expression, and its relationship with original works, touching on themes of imitation and artistic authenticity. Walkley reflects on renowned authors like Jane Austen and Marcel Proust, offering insights into their styles and the challenges of emulating them without falling into parody. The opening of this work delves into the nuances of pastiche and its rarities, setting the stage for a thoughtful discussion on the intersection of originality and imitation in literature. Walkley illustrates his arguments with examples, such as theatrical rehearsals that blur the lines between original and imitated performances. He also contrasts different authors' styles, showcasing how the passage of time affects literary expression and leading to misconceptions about past and present forms. This introduction establishes a contemplative tone and invites readers to consider their own perceptions of literary pastiche. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
