Download or read book Appreciations and Criticisms of The Works of Charles Dickens written by Gilbert Keith Chesterton and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book may not be, Chesterton says, important as a contribution to history, but it is important as a contribution to biography; as a contribution to the character and the career of the man who wrote it, a typical man of his time. That Dickens made no personal historical researches, that he had no special historical learning, that he had not had, in truth, even anything that could be called a good education, all this accentuates not the merit but at least the importance of the book. For here, thinks Mr. Chesterton, may be read in plain popular language, written by a man whose genius for popular exposition has never been surpassed among men, a brief account of the origin and meaning of England as it seemed to the average Englishman of that age. This book will always remain as a bright and brisk summary of the cock-sure, healthy-minded, essentially manly and essentially ungentlemanly view of history which characterises the Radicals of that particular Radical era.

Download or read book The Zelator written by David Ovason and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-06-30 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS BOOK REVEALS THE CONSPIRACY BY LEONARDO, NEWTON, GOETHE AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE INITIATE TRADITION TO INFLUENCE THE COURSE OF HISTORY BY MAGIC. From the dawn of history and perhaps beyond a small group of magi working within a specific magical tradition have believed they have been influencing the course of history, guiding mankind towards higher levels of consciousness. Theirs is a reincarnationist philosophy and they believe that, as initiates of the highest order, they return in local groups at key moments to conspire to change the course of events. Whether or not their beliefs are right, whether or not their magical practices work in the way they believe, this book will prove that certain remarkable individuals, many of them famous in other areas, have undoubtedly held these beliefs. Bestsellers such as HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL and THE TOMB OF GOD have been written by amateur historians trying to penetrate the veil of secrecy that surrounds this conspiracy; here for the first time an initiate of the order reveals the truth.

Download or read book The Life and Letters of Alexander Wilson written by Alexander Wilson and published by American Philosophical Society. This book was released on 1983 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander Wilson, expatriate Scotsman, poet, & reformer, has been called "the Father of American Ornithology." This collection of his letters, many of them new & many complete for the first time, captures a splendid & stimulating time in American history. Wilson was a confidant of William Bartram, a correspondent of Thomas Jefferson, a sensitive personality who set out as he said to make "a collection of all our finest birds." In pursuit of this goal he traveled through much of the eastern part of the U.S., often on foot. His letters well document the joy he felt at each new discovery as well as the terrible physical harships he endured. Though later overshadowed by J.J. Audubon, Wilson deserves much credit for being one of the pioneers in American ornithology. Includes an intro. by Clark Hunter, ed. of the letters.
Download or read book A History of Modern Political Thought written by Iain Hampsher-Monk and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1993-04-08 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iain Hampsher-Monk’s lucid and accessible history of modern political thought is the introduction which many have been waiting for, providing a thorough guide to the ideas and writings of major political thinkers from Hobbes to Marx (including a full account of The Federalist papers). The author’s aim throughout is to incorporate the benefits of modern scholarship of the historical school, with its emphasis on historical and political circumstances as a key to meaning. Recognizing that for most students time will not allow detailed study of the historical and political contexts of particular works, Hampsher-Monk provides here the background necessary for the reader to situate the writings of key thinkers in relation to wider currents in intellectual and political history. A History of Modern Political Thought will meet the needs of both general readers and students of political theory and philosophy. It is an indispensable secondary source which aims to situate, explain, and provoke thought about the major works of political theory likely to be encountered by students of modern political thought.

Download or read book Rudyard Kipling written by Bonamy Dobrée and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essay begins with a section on Kipling, the man. Professor Dobrée dwells on Kipling's bitter experiences as a child, when he was left in the charge of a woman 'who wielded evangelical Christianity as an instrument of torture'. He learned that man was a lonely creature; he learned also to value a man for what he does rather than for what he feels. His ancestry, which had in it a marked strain of Christian didacticism, predisposed him to live by religious values. His childhood suffering, reinforced by his experience of the world, taught him to sympathize with all faiths that were not cruel, and to involve a curious fatalistic creed of stoical self-abnegation. Professor Dobrée then considers Kipling's qualities as a writer, stressing his inexhaustible curiosity about the world, his artistic integrity, and his consummate mastery of words. His short stories, always brilliant and ingenious, grew ever more complex and mature, and exhibited also a steadily increasing awareness of the need for compassion. In his later stories he found new symbols, particularly those of healing, to evoke his sense of the mystery in which our lives are grounded. The essay concludes with a short but penetrating analysis of Kipling's verse. Bonamy Dobrée stresses Kipling's mastery of technique and claims that he was a true poet, whose variety of theme and mood has not always been properly recognised. The late Bonamy Dobrée, formerly Emeritus Professor of English Literature at the University of Leeds, was educated and trained as a professional soldier. He fought with distinction in the 1914-18 war and also served from 1939 to 1945. His publications cover a wide range of themes, literary and historical, although he is best known as an authority on the literature of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. His many notable publications include Restoration Comedy (1924); Restoration Tragedy (1929); The London Book of English Prose (1931), in collaboration with Herbert Read; The Floating Republic (1935), in collaboration with G. T. Manwaring; and the monumental volume, The Early Eighteenth Century (1959), in the Oxford History of English Literature. He has displayed his sympathetic understanding of contemporary literature in Modern Prose Style (1934), and in The Lamp and the Lute (1929), a revised edition of which was published in 1964. He was General Editor of the Writers and Their Work series from 1954 to 1965.
