Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poetry and Fiction: Essays Criticism, in whatever fancy dress, however, remains an art of opinion, and though the Opinion should be supported by evidence, even that relation is a questionable one. Criticism is not knowledge, but neither ought it to be mystique, even if the sources of our opinions, and the influence of fashion upon these, are mysterious subjects. Whether the writings in this book succeed as criticism is not for me to say, but perhaps it is fair for me to set forth briefly a few of the objects I tried to keep in mind. Critical method. To try not to have one. Or to have, at the most, two simple precepts: read what is in the poem; do not read what is not in the poem. To give evidence for assertions, so that the reader may have a way of knowing when his author has gone badly wrong.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays of Poets and Poetry: Ancient and Modern It is needless to say that no one of the nine Essays contained in this volume has been written within the last two years and a half. The earliest, that on the "Art of Translation," was first published as long ago as 1895, in the Quarterly Review, the others in the same periodical, or in the Monthly Review, at intervals extending over some ten years. The latest, that on "In Memoriam after Fifty Years," appeared in the Edinburgh Review early in 1906, shortly after the first, and separate publication by Lord Tennyson of this poem with his father's annotations. I had hoped to have reprinted these Essays, as I am now doing, in book form, before the present date, but delayed to do so, promising myself more opportunity of rehandling than I have ever found time to accomplish. When in 1906 I became Vice-Chancellor, all hope of considerable retouching in any near future entirely disappeared. I was confronted with the alternative of allowing them to wait still longer, or of reprinting them as they were, with such limited amount of revision as had been, or was now, possible.

But add to this the strong points of the author's style, the delicacy of touch, the clear incisive analysis, the energy of purpose - with the gentle man behind it all, - the constant endeavor to stimulate to something higher and nobler, and the value of such study cannot be estimated.

Download or read book Essays on Poetry and Poets Classic Reprint written by Roden Noel and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Poetry and Poets These Essays, with all their faults, were carefully composed, but, since a few of them were written some time ago, all have been scrupulously revised, the information involved, moreover, being brought, as far as possible, up to date: those that are republished have also been occasionally altered, in accordance with modified conviction on the part of the writer; others are recent, and published now for the first time. All deal with modern, romantic poetry. The keynote of more than one of them is to be found in my opening essay on the "Poetic Interpretation of Nature," for a very marked characteristic of the best poetry of our century is the worship, and faithful, though idealized, delineation of external nature. In the last paper I print an experience of English travel, because, though hardly indeed covered by the book's designation, it forms a kind of return to this "dominant theme," being an attempt of my own at some measure of that descriptive interpretation, the general principles of which I have discussed in my first paper; this is a record of the experience on which was partly founded my poem "Thalatta," in "Songs of the Heights and Deeps."

Download or read book Wordsworth s Literary Criticism written by Nowell C. Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wordsworth's Literary Criticism: Edited With an Introduction IT is the honourable characteristic of Poetry that its materials are to be found in every subject which can interest the human mind. The evidence of this fact is to be sought, not in the writings of Critics, but In those of Poets themselves. The majority of the following poems are to be considered as experiments. They were written chiefly with a View to ascertain how far the language of conversation in the middle and lower classes of society is adapted to the purposes of poetic pleasure. Readers accustomed to the gaudiness and inane phraseology of many modern writers, if they persist in reading this book to its conclusion, will perhaps frequently have to struggle with feelings of strangeness and awkwardness: they will look round for poetry, and will be induced to inquire by what species of courtesy these attempts can be permitted to assume that title. It is desirable that such readers, for their own sakes, should not suffer the solitary word Poetry, a word of very disputed meaning, to stand In the way of their gratification; but that, while they are perusing this book, they should ask themselves if it contains a natural delineation of human passions, human charac ters, and human incidents; and if the answer be favourable to the author's wishes, that they should consent to be pleased in spite of that most dreadful enemy to our pleasures, our own pre-established codes of decision.

The diffusion of population hindered the public school. The fertility of soil and climate lessened the necessity for labor; while the paradox of slavery em thralled the intellectual life of the people, prevented centralization in community life, destroyed the inspiration to literary labor, and in the apprehension of im pending danger to the cherished institution, swept every vital brain as an eager volunteer into the open and tempting arena of politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Poetry and Criticism How far my estimates of the poets whom I have passed in review will recommend themselves to others I know not, but this I should like to say: I hope emphasis will not be mistaken for dogma. Such estimates, even were they those of a critic entitled to far more authority than I can pretend to possess, must be experimental, and can have no approximation to finality. But it is right that when well-weighed they should be attempted. Thus only can the literary product of each age be sifted and proved, thus only the balance at last adjusted.
