Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern English Essays, Vol. 3 "I love a man that doth stoutly express himself," said Montaigne, and his preference might well point to the stout comments of W. E. Henley on Hazlitt the essayist that give backbone to this volume. Henley led at the close of last century a little phalanx of his own, and made of The Scots (that became The National) Observer (1889-1894) another in the long succession of journals that fostered the essay. His account of Hazlitt comes, however, not from that source, but from an edition of Hazlitt's works. It may be placed with Augustine Birrell's account of Lamb, also from a new edition of a favourite author, in that series of justificative pieces on which essayists rest their case for an independent canon. Of their near contemporaries, Richard Jefferies is a little master among the essayists of nature. "The Sun and the Brook" comes from a posthumous collection entitled The Hills and the Vale. Mrs. Meynell, individual in her method as any of this group, was a National Observer contributor who had a pen sensitive and sure. She and "Vernon Lee" (Miss Paget) have both written delightfully, in their different ways, on the power and spirit of place. The essay "Genius Loci" is from the volume of that name. Mrs. Meynell's "Point of Biography" is from her Collected Essays. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oxford English Prize Essays, Vol. 3 But if drawn from the hope of posthumous regard, there is still one ground upon which nature will make her last stand - the solicitude of holding a place in the remembrance, at least, of others. Our acquired habits of thinking cause us to recoil from the prospect of Oblivion, which is annihilation in one Of its most dreary and de grading forms. TO be totally forgotten, to have our remains blended indiscriminately with the dust, without a record or a place, is so intolerable even to the minds of the lowest order, that the desire to avoid it has been able to wring from want some portion of its scanty supplies, and extort a provision from the rapacious habits of vice. To provide a coffin or a tombstone, the poor man will deny his need, and the prodigal his usual indulgence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Studies by Members of the English Association, Vol. 3 Religion, architecture; there is also, I think, a third quality, which critics have not noticed, or have treated as obvious. I mean the quality and precision of the texture out of which Greek poetry is woven. It is not merely that the actual words are finer in quality than English words, though I incline to think that this is true also. They build their palace of cedar, and we of rougher wood. But still more important is the actual precision of the building, the exact fitting of word into word with reference both to the emphasis and the rhythm. This depends greatly on the importance of quantity in Greek speech. To take one instance: it is the essence of Greek poetry that a long nu stressed syllable shall nevertheless be felt as long; and that is a rock on which English verses make Shipwreck by the thousand.

Download or read book Four Essays Vol 3 Classic Reprint written by Murray Anthony Potter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Essays, Vol. 3 The late Murray Anthony Potter, at the time of his sudden death, was amassing notes for three books which he had long contemplated: a treatise on the horse as a character in epic poetry; a study of Petrarch; a group of essays on the Renaissance. For these, and for his various University courses, he left an abundance of matter in the form of references, memoranda, detached paragraphs, and outlines of lectures, but very little in the way of finished composition. The best that could be done with most of his papers was, therefore, to de posit them in the Harvard Library, for the use of investi gators in the same fields. Some pages, however, seemed to lend themselves, without too great departure from the writer's intention, to an arrangement which would make them accessible to the reading public. Hence this little volume, prepared by a few colleagues of the author and offered by his Department, in token of friendship and gratitude.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, English and American The term essay is used loosely of many different kinds of literature, but almost always means a relatively short prose composition of an expository character. It may exist for some useful purpose, and resemble a brief treatise; or, at the opposite extreme, it may be wholly concerned with pleasurable talk about personal or even trivial things. Upon its subject matter, then, there are practically no limits at all. For the purposes of knowledge, we are likely to value most highly the essay which is most impersonal or objective, - that is, which emphasizes the subject under consideration and not the one con sidering it; for the purposes of pure literature, that essay is usually best which shows most of the writer's personality.

Download or read book Literary Essays Vol 3 Classic Reprint written by James Russell Lowell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Essays, Vol. 3 Occurred to him to question the right of that soci ety to exist than to criticise the divine ordination of the seasons. His business was with men as they were, not with man as he ought to be, - with the human soul as it is shaped or twisted into character by the complex experience of life, not in its abstract essence, as something to be saved or lost. During the first half of the seventeenth century, the centre of intellectual interest was rather in the other world than in this, rather in the region of thought and principle and conscience than in actual life. It was a generation in which the poet was, and felt himself, out of place. Sir Thomas Browne, our most imaginative mind since Shakespeare, found breathing-room, for a time, among the 0 alti tudines of religious speculation, but soon de scended to occupy himself with the exactitudes of science. Jeremy Taylor, who half a century ear lier would have been Fletcher's rival, compels his clipped fancy to the conventual discipline of prose, (maid Marian turned nun, ) and waters his poetic wine with doctrinal eloquence. Milton is saved from making total shipwreck of his large-utteranced genius on the desolate N oman's Land of a religious epic only by the lucky help of Satan and his col leagues, with whom, as foiled rebels and republicans, he cannot conceal his sympathy. As purely poet, Shakespeare would have come too late, had his lot fallen in that generation. In mind and tempera ment too exoteric for a mystic, his imagination could not have at once illustrated the influence of his epoch and escaped from it, like that of Browne; the.

These are both books of one period, given to brief considerations Of things; yet they are markedly diverse. One writer is a relisher of life and letters; the other, a Spiritual sybarite. The latter is an American by birth; so is Professor Brander Matthews, whose function as professor and New York dramatic critic has not Spoilt his hand as an essayist. His account of Maria Edgeworth is an Everyman essay. Another contributor is Hilaire Belloc. He has written books On Nothing On Everything and On Anything His essays here printed come from the first of the three. He and his congenial fellow prose-writer, G. K. Chesterton, who contributes two essays, write from the life and from the hour, much as did the eighteenth-century men. Joseph Conrad does not occur to us first as an essayist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern English Essays, Vol. 1 This new stringency of the periodical page was yet more likely to be felt in a magazine like The Cornhill, which set out to be entertaining first and intellectual afterwards. In its earlier volumes there are solid contributions from Leslie Stephen, who was its editor for some years, Matthew Arnold, and other major essayists; but in style and attack, and economy of expression, they mark a change. And when we come to the weekly reviews, and dis cover men of the Old quarterly calibre, men like Leslie Stephen's elder brother, F itzjames Stephen (who became a famous judge), adapting themselves to a middle article, and making it more damaging than a quarterly review, we realise that the critical headquarters have shifted from the quarterly to the monthly and weekly reviews.
