Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early English Poems: Selected and Edited This change of attitude, which might be illustrated by many similar examples, is assuredly a sign of progress. It is no depreciation of the labor of the scholar, but rather an evidence of its value. It is plain that the researches of the specialist in these fields, minute and contracted as they may have some times seemed, have had a wider influence, a more general significance, than might at first have been supposed. It is plain that these intensive students of the life, language, and literature of early England may be justly compared to those adventurers who press on in the van of immigration, and so open up to civilization regions hitherto inaccessible, or but sparsely settled. In this work of reclamation the translator as well as the pioneer scholar has his place and office. It is better, of course, to read this early literature in the language in which it was written, than to read it in translation, but it is better to read it in a translation, or in a modernized form, than not to read it at all. We may regret that Keats could not read the Iliad in Greek, and we may be thankful at the same time that he did read it in English.

Download or read book English Poems written by Walter Cochrane Bronson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Poems: Old English and Middle English Periods, 450-1550 This volume is the first in order, although the last to appear, in a series of four volumes of English Poems, in tended especially for use with college classes. The aim and method of the series as a whole have been set forth in the prefaces to the other volumes and need not be repeated here, the less because the present volume differs considerably from the rest. It cannot well be used separately, as the later volumes can, but derives its chief value from its connection with the series: for the thorough study of Old English and Middle English poetry it is quite inadequate, but in an introductory survey course in English literature it may serve a useful end. To increase the value of the book for this purpose, some specimens of the early drama are given. Although plays are elsewhere excluded from the series and some of those here included exceed the strict chrono logical limits of the period.

This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Household Book of English Poetry The first question which I asked myself, when I resumed a purpose long ago entertained, and then for a long while laid aside, of publishing such a selection of English Poetry as the present, was this, namely, whether Mr. Palgrave by his Golden Treasury had not so occupied the ground that there was no place for one who should come after. The selection is one made with so exact an acquaintance with the sources from which such a Trea sury as his should be replenished, with so fine a taste in regard of what should be admitted there, that this was the conclusion to which at the first I was disposed to arrive. But on further consideration I saw reason to change my mind. The volume which I meditated was on so different a scheme and plan from his, that, while no doubt I should sometimes go over ground which he had gone over before, it seemed likely that for the most part our paths would be different, and the poems which I should select not identical with those already chosen by him. This to so great an extent has proved the case, that of more than three hundred pieces which compose this volume, less than sixty have appeared in his. And.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrations of Early English Poetry, Vol. 2 It is to be borne in mind, however, that Churchyard had the merit of being a very early admirer of Chaucer, whom he men tions; and one or two of the best productions in our present volume are creditable imitations of the Father of English Poetry. Churchyard was a soldier, not a scholar, and for this reason, probably, we are not much troubled in his works with tedious classical allusions. We might have entertained a higher opinion of him, if he had not adopted, almost from the first, a peculiar spelling, often annoying to modern eyes, and rather indicating (like the wearing of a peculiar hat or coat in our own day) the absence of more important claims to notice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beauties of Ancient English Poetry The opinion of this writer upon literature in general, and especially on such a subject as poetry, may per haps be considered as the literary opinion of his own age, or of a preceding one, rather than the offspring of his own mind, for judgments on such subjects as these, can scarcely be conceived as emanating from a mind, in all its own habits of speculation so alien to them. Nor is it very probable that on subjects which he could not feel himself strong, he would, in a work, not of ingenious and speculative argument, but of grave history, have hazarded himself in opinions, in which he did not secretly feel some countenance from those judgments that he was accustomed to revere, and to consider as of para mount authority in literature.

Drummond. Henry Headley was the only son of the Rev. Henry Headley, Vicar of North Walsham, in the county of Norfolk. He was born at Irstead, in Norfolk, in 1766. The reputation of Dr. Parr, as Master of the Grammar School at Norwich, induced Mr. Headley to place his son under his care, at a time when the Doctor had several scholars, who, as well as young Headley, afterwards displayed the great advantages they derived from his instructions.
