Context paragraphs:
The Rings of Saturn: The Rings of Saturn (German: Die Ringe des Saturn: Eine englische Wallfahrt - An English Pilgrimage) is a 1995 novel by the German writer W. G. Sebald.  Its first-person narrative arc is the account by a nameless narrator (who resembles the author in typical Sebaldian fashion) on a walking tour of Suffolk.  In addition to describing the places he sees and people he encounters, including translator Michael Hamburger, Sebald discusses various episodes of history and literature, including the introduction of silkworm cultivation to Europe and the writings of Thomas Browne, which attach in some way to the larger text.  The book was published in English in 1998.  A film, "Patience (After Sebald)", directed by Grant Gee and released in 2012, is based on this book.

W. G. Sebald: Winfried Georg Sebald (18 May 1944 – 14 December 2001), known as W. G. Sebald or Max Sebald, was a German writer and academic.  At the time of his death at the age of 57, he was being cited by many literary critics as one of the greatest living authors and had been tipped as a possible future winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.  In a 2007 interview, Horace Engdahl, former secretary of the Swedish Academy, mentioned Sebald, Ryszard Kapuściński and Jacques Derrida as three recently deceased writers who would have been worthy laureates.

Charlotte Temple: Charlotte Temple is a novel by British-American author Susanna Rowson, originally published in England in 1791 under the title Charlotte, A Tale of Truth.

Vertigo (Sebald novel): Vertigo (German: Schwindel.  Gefühle. )  is a 1990 novel by the German author W. G. Sebald.  The first of its four sections is a short but conventional biography of Stendhal, who is referred to not by his pen name but by his given name of Beyle.  The second is a travelogue of two journeys made to the Alpine region by an unnamed narrator whose biography resembles Sebald's; an episode from the life of Casanova is also featured.  The third describes a difficult period in the life of Kafka, referred to only as "Dr. K." And the fourth is a nostalgic recounting of the narrator's visit to his German hometown of "W," a rural village which he has seen nothing of for decades.  Sebald makes notable use of leitmotif, such as sensations of dizziness as suggested in the title, and deceased persons lying covered on platforms.  The novel functions along with Sebald's subsequent works "The Emigrants" and "The Rings of Saturn" as a trilogy.  All three works were translated into English by Michael Hulse in partnership with Sebald.
