This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Early English Literature, Vol. 2 of 2: Being the History of English Poetry From Its Beginnings to the Accession of King AElfred The books Augustine brought to England were a Bible in two volumes, a Testament, a Psalter, an exposition Of the Gospels and Epistles, a book of martyrs and some apocryphal lives Of the Apostles. Fresh books arrived in 601, and it is said that two Of these mss. Of the Gospels still exist - one at Corpus, Cambridge, the other at the Bodleian.1 Shortly after the baptism of persons in the Swale on Christmas Day 597, the place where the cathedral rose was occupied, and the abbey Of ss. Peter and Paul (st. Augustine's) was founded. It became the seat Of the first learning and literature that Rome carried to this land, and the books Augustine brought over were enshrined in it. The first library was begun, and with it the first schools. We cannot, however, say for certain that the Latin Mission at once founded schools in Kent, though Baeda says, speaking of thirty years later, that the wish of Sige berht to have schools in East Anglia, such as he had seen in Gaul, was carried into effect by Bishop Felix, after t/ze fiatfemz of Me sc/zools in Kiwi. What is interesting is a conjecture Of Earle's that there may have been Roman schools Of grammar still existing in Canterbury when Augustine arrived. If Canterbury was not wholly destroyed by the invaders, it is just possible that the Roman schools may have been spared.

Made the maintenance or modification of the rule, as established by its founder, to depend upon the decision of the Order and its heads for the time being. The upholders of strict discipline then laboured for their cause, raised Giacomo of Fiore to the dignity of prophet, and wrote in his name new prophecies of ruin to come. This movement passed with some into fanaticism, and pro duced among many within the Church direct antagonism to the Papacy as it then was.

Download or read book English Literature an Illustrated Record Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Richard Garnett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Literature, an Illustrated Record, Vol. 2 The first volume of this work covered more than seven centuries of literary history; the second barely covers seventy years. The first was occupied to a considerable degree with the records of important literary movements enlisting numerous and nameless participators - such as the religious drama and ballad poetry - rather than with the individual authorship which almost engrosses the second. The first dealt with a time when British literature neither extended, nor was fitted to extend, beyond the British borders; the second treats of a period when, though still confined w.thin insular limits, it possessed the power and awaited the opportunity of exerting a deep influence on the world. The historical treatment of epochs so contrasted cannot be exactly the same. The chief divergence will be found in the slighter notice accorded to inferior writers who would have been welcome, if they had come sooner, and the ample space devoted to those who have made the British literature of the age European, especially its two pre-eminent representatives, Bacon and Shakespeare. This volume, to the end of the chapters on Shakespeare, is written by the author of vol. I., and thence to the conclusion by the author of vols iii. And iv. The writers desire to record their obligations for literary assistance to Mr. A. W. Pollard and Mr. A. H. Bullen, and for aid in the department of illustration to Mrs. Christie-miller, of Britwell Park to Mrs. Sydney Pawling to R. R. Holmes, Esq., King's Libra rian, Windsor Castle; and to S.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of English Literature, Vol. 2: Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, 1625-1780 To add to the number of books dealing with English Literature would seem to be a bold and supererogatory undertaking. Few periods Of that literature have failed to find competent exponents; few writers of note have failed to find their editors, their biographers, and their critics. Many of these studies have indeed been invaluable to the authors Of the present volumes and no doubt many echoes of them will be heard in their pages. But, while not posing for originality either in the materials used or in the Opinions ex pressed, the authors hope that their work will be a stimulus to the young student, an encouraging guide to the older reader, a friendly help on the road to all those who earnestly desire to know our national litera ture. Particularly they hope that the book will be found useful by teachers who are engaged in giving life to the teaching Of English Literature in schools. As a reviver of pleasant memories for themselves, and as a class-book for their pupils, which shall be trust worthy without being stodgy, the work may not come entirely as an intruder.

But almost all the changes my version experienced were practically made by his own hand. In this paternal oversight I have cause for self-congratulation, for not every translator is so fortunate. I also received Professor Ten Brink's authority to make enlargements, extra foot-notes, a new arrangement of the paragraphs, or whatever else I might consider helpful in bring ing the work more closely home to his English and American readers, on whose appreciation he set great value. But I have naturally refrained from making much use of such flattering confidence; any changes or additions are duly noted where they occur. Besides the author's critical revision of my text, many of the proof sheets have been read by experienced students of English Literature, which has frequently resulted in a greater clearness of diction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Early English Literature, Vol. 1 of 2: Being the History of English Poetry From Its Beginnings to the Accession of King AElfred This book is the history of the beginnings of English Poetry. It is the beginning also of a history of that poetry which, I hope, with perhaps too bold an ambition, to finish in the years to come. Life gives too short a time now for a long work, but it is a pleasure to have at least brought to an end this tale of the origins of English verse. It begins in the older England over the sea. It ends with the accession of AElfred. When he came to the throne in 871, literature, both Latin and English, had perished, after a career of two hundred years. The final home of both had been Northumbria. A few years after his accession the last unplundered seats of learning were destroyed. All the Muses were now silent. But before AElfred died a new English literature had begun, and in a new land, and the King was himself its origin. What had been was poetry; this was prose. The country of English poetry had been Northumbria; the country of English prose was Wessex. At this date, then, the curtain naturally falls on the first act of this history.

Download or read book English Literature Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by John Buchan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Literature, Vol. 2 HE play, unlike the novel, is the most rigid Of literary forms, with the exception perhaps of the sonnet. In a novel the author has an almost free hand. He can tell his story quite objectively, he can make himself the hero, he can translate his characters most secret thoughts. He can make his novel a hundred, or five hundred, pages in length, and his story can last twenty-four years or as many hours. But the dramatist has no such easy task. He has to present a story within certain dimensions he cannot avail himself of the almost unlimited fields of the novel and of the film. Practical considerations play an important part. In the first place, because it is presenting rather than relating a fact, a play must be confined to a certain length, for the reason that no audience can Sit still for more than a few hours. In the second place, the characters have to speak for themselves, their motives and thoughts have to be made clear by their actions. And now, since the school Of naturalism has won the day, they are not even allowed the Simple, though sometimes ridiculous device, of the soliloquy, by which, in talking to himself, a character tells the audience facts necessary for the development Of the plot. Even the place of action is limited by the inability of the stage-hands to change more than a certain number of scenes in a given time, and by the more crude considerations of cost.
