Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coventry Patmore The chief, and almost the only, public source of information about the facts of Patmore's life is the Memoirs and Correspondence, in two vol umes, published by Mr. Basil Champneys in 1900. Mr. Champneys, whose work was performed with admirable judgment and sympathy, was supplied with all the necessary documents by Mrs. Patmore, whose devoted foresight during her husband's life, and indefatigable industry then and later, are cordially acknowledged by the biographer. This large work was not a memoir of Coventry Patmore alone, but of his parents, his wives, his deceased children, and many of his relatives. As a collection of documents, extremely full and authentic, it can never be superseded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs and Correspondence of Coventry Patmore, Vol. 1 By far the most interesting of the available docu ments are those relating to Patmore's first courtship and marriage; nor have there been any which have put so severe a strain upon the discretion of his biographer. The charm of these is so great, the light they throw on his own and on his first wife's character so intense, that the temptation to employ them too freely has been strong. A somewhat liberal use of them seems indeed to be both de manded and justified; demanded, because Patmore is best known as the poet of wedded love, and there fore a special interest attaches to records of his affection for the wife who was the chief motive of his verse; justified, for his published work abounds in candid self-expression, never more fully than on this very subject. Indeed the limits he has set are none too strait, and within these his biographer may move in safety; nor do I think that those who know his writing best will accuse me of having vio lated the boundary which he has indicated.

Download or read book The Idea of Coventry Patmore Classic Reprint written by Osbert Burdett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Idea of Coventry Patmore There have been two previous attempts to make love the basis of a comprehensive philosophy. The first was made by Plato, the second by Dante. Each of his predecessors influenced Coventry Pat more, but he differed in a capital point from both. The Platonic theory is too familiar to require exposition or a detailed criticism here. It was a very beautiful structure with a curious congenital defect. The Platonic theory of love is a pyramid standing on its apex. For this reason it can never become a sufficient philosophy for men in general, though it will ever nourish the attempts of other poets. Dante's idealization of love as the Divine Wisdom, revealed to him in the person of Beatrice, busied itself too much with the flowers and fruits, too little with the roots and soils. It is not a fit philosophy for men in general, because it forgot that a theory of love, if it is to satisfy men, must pay respect not only to the soul but to the senses, not only to the imagination but to the body of man. Each theory idealized one aspect of human relations. Plato chose the friend, Dante the unmarried woman, Patmore the wife. While the two earlier theories were alike in their hostility to marriage, Patmore made married love the definition of love itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetry of Pathos Delight: From the Works of Coventry Patmore This book does not Offer a selection in the usual sense. The poetry of a master is selected before it is written, and before it is conceived; and the mind that conceives it is selected. Mr. Coventry Patmore's art and labour do but second that original distinction. Therefore it is hardly neces sary to say that my intention has not been to make a collection of best passages. What has been intended is to collect passages in. Which the poet has dealt with two things - delight and sorrow, those human and intelligible passions to which all real poetry has access, but which this poetry touches so close as to be mingled with them and changed into them.

Download or read book Courage in Politics and Other Essays 1885 1896 Classic Reprint written by Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Courage in Politics, and Other Essays, 1885-1896 'We need books of this tart cathartic virtue, ' said Emerson, of Plutarch, and it is because some of us believe this requirement to be eminently fulfilled in Coventry Patmore's prose that this further selection from it has been made. Every reader will confess its tart flavour: its cathartic virtue depends upon his own good will: he must minister to himself if he can reject the temptation to throw the physic to the dogs. Patmore's criticism, literary, artistic, and political, was based upon considered principles, and it is in his statement of these, more than in his application of them, that the virtue of his criticism consists. He deprecated the merely subjective appreciation of books, and it is to mark the fact that the many essays on other writers included here are not of that order that a small group of political articles is placed in the forefront; for in these it is the statement of principles only that can win any acceptance: the illustrations are from the vanished part of thirty-five years ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.
