Yet, Lord, we have in veneration The gentle going of thy day. THE THREE. The Angels gather strength, beholding, Though none Thy substance fathom may; And all the works of Thy upholding Are lordly as on Time's first day." As the song ends, Mephistopheles comes forward; and mark, in contrast, the tenor of his speech: "Of suns and worlds deuce one word can I gabble; I only know how men grow miserable. The little god of earth is still the same old clay, And is as odd this hour as on Creation's day. Better somewhat his situation, Hadst Thou not given him that same light of inspiration: Reason he calls't, and uses't so that he Grows but more beastly than the very beasts to be. He seems to me, begging your Grace's pardon, Like one of those long-legg'd things in a garden, That fly about, and hop, and spring, And in the grass the same old chirrup sing. Would I could say that here the story closes! But in all sorts of dirt they thrust their noses." These are the two moods. They reproduce themselves in literature. In all the greater literature of the world, from Homer and the Greek Drama downwards, there is heard the tone of the Elemental song. Nor need it be absent in our Prose Fiction. No more than our metrical Poetry must this form of literature be permitted to degenerate into a ceaseless variation of the speech of Mephistopheles, that men are as miserable as ever, and that the world is all in a mess. It may be that the representation of social reality is, on the whole, the proper business of the Novel; but even in the representation of social reality the spirit may be that of the far-surveying and the sublime. I believe, however, that there may be vindicated for the literature of prose phantasy the liberty of an order of fiction different from...

Download or read book Institutions of the English Novel written by Homer Obed Brown and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-02-23 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Institutions of the English Novel, Homer Obed Brown takes issue with the generally accepted origin of the novel in the early eighteenth century. Brown argues that what we now call the novel did not appear as a recognized single "genre" until the early nineteenth century, when the fictional prose narratives of the preceding century were grouped together under that name. After analyzing the figurative and thematic uses of private letters and social gossip in the constitution of the novel, Brown explores what was instituted in and by the fictions of Defoe, Fielding, Sterne, and Scott, with extensive discussion of the pivotal role Scott's work played in the novel's rise to institutional status. This study is an intriguing demonstration of how these earlier narratives are involved in the development and institution of such political and cultural concepts as self, personal identity, the family, and history, all of which contributed to the later possibility of the novel.
Download or read book The Physiology of the Novel written by Nicholas Dames and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-09-27 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the Victorians read novels? Nicholas Dames answers that deceptively simple question by revealing a now-forgotten range of nineteenth-century theories of the novel, a range based in a study of human physiology during the act of reading, He demonstrates the ways in which the Victorians thought they read, and uncovers surprising responses to the question of what might have transpired in the minds and bodies of readers of Victorian fiction. His detailed studies of novel critics who were also interested in neurological science, combined with readings of novels by Thackeray, Eliot, Meredith, and Gissing, propose a vision of the Victorian novel-reader as far from the quietly immersed being we now imagine - as instead a reader whose nervous system was addressed, attacked, and soothed by authors newly aware of the neural operations of their public. Rich in unexpected intersections, from the British response to Wagnerian opera to the birth of speed-reading in the late nineteenth century, The Physiology of the Novel challenges our assumptions about what novel-reading once did, and still does, to the individual reader, and provides new answers to the question of how novels influenced a culture's way of reading, responding, and feeling.
