I bought an edition of Nerval in 1999. I'm wondering about the sources of his inspiration for the material in chapters 7--8 of Aurélia (1855). It prefigures, oddly enough, H. P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Out of Time to a remarkable degree as I can show by quoting the passages. He also anticipates a number of H. P. Blavatsky's themes in The Secret Doctrine (1888). Has any one written about this? Lisa the Sociopath 21:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia
I removed the trivia section tag and renamed the section 'Pet lobster' as all the articles of trivia relate to whether or not he kept such an animal. If there is a desire to still have the article tagged for a trivia section I suppose it could be switched back, although given that it was only about one topic I feel the renaming is appropriate.

[edit] Pet Lobster
Under the Pet Lobster section of this page there is a link to a "British television program 'Status Anxiety' that in fact links you to a book by the same name. Is this correct? Does the reference come from the Book, or a TV Show of the same name, or the Documentary Film? --Count of Cascadia (talk) 00:29, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
