Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Autobiography and Poems I was born September 22, 1859, under the Brit ish government in Canada, fourteen miles from London, and lived there to the age of eight, when my parents brought me to the states. We first went to Kentucky, Campbell county, where my grandfather lived at that time - my father's old home place. My father was born in slavery. He ran away before the war, when only a boy, and went to Canada, where of course he obtained his freedom. My mother was a Canadian. She had a good English education and taught school, and when my father went back to Kentucky it was a brand new thing to see a negro teacher, and it did not set very well with the rebels in those days, so they ordered my father to take his family and leave Kentucky; but as slavery was over and he was free he thought that he had a right to live where he pleased, and declined to go. However, in a short time we were compelled to go to save our lives, as those rebels were preparing to burn us out. The powder had been placed under the house during the absence of our family on Sun day, and every arrangement was made to burn us out, but one of the gang weakened and turned state's evidence. That was all that saved us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collected Poems With Autobiographical and Critical Fragments This volume contains all my husband's published poetry, here collected for the first time. I have included a few very early poems written by him while still a schoolboy, and I have reprinted in full Saint Paul, the poems from the volume entitled The Renewal of Youth, and the poems from Fragments of Prose and Poetry. I have also included a considerable portion of the short autobiography which appeared in this last volume. I have reprinted it here, as it seems to me to form a far more fitting Preface to the Poems than any I could hope to write. The essays on Shelley and on Edgar Allan Poe and the letter on Tennyson have never yet been included in any edition of my husband's works.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henry Sylvester Cornwell, Poet of Fancy: A Memoir Whoever writes a poem thereby becomes the author of a beatitude, and whoever reads it shares in the sweetness of the blessing. A poet is a great gift to a nation, a gift to mankind, His words are a perpetual teacher, and an inspirer of noble impulses to a people and the race. A true poem has wings. It flies abroad until in its flight it has drawn its belt of blessing around the world. If we read poems and take them to our hearts and love them, they become ours by adoption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Autobiography, Poems and Prayers On the 21st of June, 1838, he was ordained as min ister to the church in West Roxbury. This position was admirably suited to his condition and needs at that time. The congregation was small and the salary meager; but he was near the library of Harvard Col lege and to the intellectual supplies of Boston. The surroundings were rural, and afforded him opportunity to enjoy his love of nature. He made friends of all his parishioners, most of whom were plain farmers, a few highly cultured, and was equally at home with them in their several interests. He was greatly beloved by them, and reciprocated their affection. In his quiet library he pursued his studies diligently all the week, sometimes sixteen hours a day for successive weeks. His Sunday services were a great pleasure to him, and most welcome to his hearers. Gradually he evolved his new views of religion, and gladly they took them in, and were not shocked thereat. Even the famous South Boston sermon on The Transient and Permanent in Christianity, preached in 1841, did not abate their loyalty to him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Whittier His Poetry This is to some extent recognized by writers of histories and text-books of literature, and by editors of selections from the works of our poets; for place is always given by them to a certain amount of biographical material. But in the histories and text-books the biography of a given writer stands by itself, and his work has to be sought elsewhere, the student being left to make the connexion for himself; while even in our current editions of selections there is little systematic attempt to link biography, step by step, with production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hitherto Unpublished Poems and Stories: With an Inedited Autobiography The rest of the sheet holds what occupies seven pages and a third in the minute original; there wasbut little revision properly so called; but now and then the brain, working faster than the hand, passed to that slavish member a premature word sometimes one that had been cancelled in the orig inal and had to be cancelled again in the fine new Copy set about for the benefit of posterity. Whether more than the one sheet was ever done I cannot state with certainty: it contains the last word that its length and breadth would hold; and it seems likely that the task was abandoned when that naughty Moses, the black pony, had to have his girths tightened by the delicate little rider, and she got injured in the spine to such a degree that, to use her words to Horne, at fifteen she nearly died. It is worth while to give here, in Opening our sec ond volume, the precise words in which she de cided to clothe her quaint preamble, and allow our readers to compare for themselves the minute de tails of the two versions. But the point in which the quarto sheet is of most value is that it makes quite clear the author's age at the time of revision: she is still fourteen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from James Hurnard a Memoir, Chiefly Autobiographical: With Selections From His Poems It may require some apology in bringing before the public the Memoirs of one who, though known to a large circle of friends, was not a public character; but I hope the work, which is chiefly in his own words, with occasional alterations, will be found interesting, giving a picture of emigrant life early in this century, and, later on, of quiet useful home life, in which his filial devotion has left a bright example. Amongst his poems, it is believed, will be found some of considerable beauty and high poetic finish. The compilation having been carried on chiefly upon an invalid couch, the work may, I hope, claim a lenient reception.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Symbolism, Allegory, and Autobiography in "the Pearl" In no one of these documents has my point of view with regard to the symbolism, allegory, and autobiography in the poem been fully accepted. To be sure, the chief part of former, fanciful speculations regarding the author's life and incentive to composition have not been repeated; 1 but all who have recently written about the poem have clung tenaciously to the pleasant belief that The Pearl is a personal lament of the poet for a daughter of his own, and therefore strictly elegiac and autobiographical. This belief would be fairly harmless if (because of the primary stress always laid upon it) it did not inevitably Obscure the true significance of the poem; but on this account it should not be allowed to establish itself more firmly without frank protest.

Dekker had, it seems, disposed of the copy right of the work to a gentleman of high reputation in the country, himself a gifted author, who found a publisher for the then unknown writer; but the offence given by some personal attacks contained in it, and the sensation it had made, caused the owner of the manuscript to refuse allowing a second edition, and a court of law ruled in his favour. Mr. Thomson's trans lation of the work is very happily executed, and it is to be re gretted that it did not borne before the English public.
