Download or read book Narrative Poems written by Clive Staples Lewis and published by Fount. This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C.S. Lewis enjoyed both stories and poetry. His narrative poems combine his gift in story-telling with his skills as a poet. The four pieces in this book are the only narrative poems by Lewis known to be in existence. The poems are full of Lewis's romantic imagination; they display his love and knowlege of classic mythology and his own mastery of the English language. Dymer (1926) - Launcelot (?early 1930s) - The Nameless Isle (1930) - The Queen of Drum (1938) 'Dymer' was begun by Lewis as a story in prose and the original idea had 'come to him' at the age of 17. It tells the story of a man who begets a monster. The monster kills his father and becomes a god. 'Launcelot' is based on the legend of King Arthur and the Holy Grail and 'The Nameless Isle' is the story of a shipwrecked mariner and his adventures on a magic island. 'The Queen of Drum' tells of an old pompous king and his young queen who eventually has to choose between heaven, hell and fairyland.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside English Narrative Poems: Look inside the book: Since its characters, sometimes not without anachronism, embodied the chivalric ideals of courtesy and loyalty to ladies, hatred of paganism, and general conduct according to a prescribed but unwritten code, its appeal was made for the most part to the courtier and the aristocrat,—though it must be added that many of the robuster Charlemagne romances acquired currency with the humbler classes and were sung in the cottage of the peasant. ...By some authorities the term Metrical Tale has been applied to such compositions; though it is hardly exact or specific, since the word 'tale' is usually made synonymous with 'story' and therefore does not connote a limited subject-matter.

Download or read book English History in Verse Classic Reprint written by Ernest Pertwee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History in Verse A volume of moderate compass which illustrates from English Poetry many of the principal events of the History of England should be of great service, especially to the young. Herein the student gets the facts which have built up England as it is to-day, dealt with in a picturesque manner. The story of a nation's life as seen by the Poet must always be fascinating, and serve to make the men and actions of the past live again with a reality that prose cannot equally impart. Such inaccuracies as are to be found in some of the poems and ballads given in this volume are more than balanced by the manner in which the writers portray the spirit animating the times with which they are concerned, and the passions which called forth the character and heroism which they vividly describe. I believe that to the young this book will prove attractive that by means of it Teachers will find it a far easier task to awaken an intelligent interest in those wider fields of History upon which this volume makes no attempt to touch.

Download or read book The Rape of the Lock written by Alexander Pope and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rape of the Lock: And Other Poems In the general introduction the editor has aimed not so much to recite the facts of Pope's life as to draw the portrait of a man whom he believes to have been too often misunderstood and misrepresented. The special introductions to the various poems are intended to acquaint the student with the circum stances under which they were composed, to trace their literary genesis and relationships, and, whenever necessary, to give an outline of the train of thought which they embody. In conclusion the editor would express the hope that his labors in the preparation of this book may help, if only in some slight degree, to stimulate the study of the work of a poet who, with all his limitations, remains one of the abiding glories of English literature, and may contribute not less to a proper ap preciation of a man who with all his faults was, on the evidence of those who knew him best, not only a great poet, 'but a very human and lovable personality.

Download or read book Poems of the English Race written by Raymond Macdonald Alden and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems of the English Race: Selected and Edited In this connection the editor has been naturally interested, while col leeting his materials, in fugitive memories of the literary passions of his own adolescence. Some of these have found representation in the book; others he has scarcely the courage to justify. Among the memories are these: a devotion to Macaulay's Horatius, easily explicable, of course, on the narrative side, but including a boyish ardor for the very melody of the opening words, Lars Porsena of Clusium, and the rest, - an ardor in no wise impaired by a total want of knowledge as to who Lars Porsena might have been or where Clusium might be found; an equally ardent affection for Buchanan Read's Drifting, which was (and is) so fine a thing to repeat while rowing or sailing on any bay or stream; a strange fascination, still hardly analyzed, for Herrick's little lyric on Julia's Clothes, which was selected for republication in a certain play-room periodical issued by very youthful printers; a thrilling fondness for Heber's hymn, The Son of God goes forth to war - in this instance partly accounted for by a boys' tale of Juliana Ewing's, where it figures as the tug-oi-war hymn' consciously ethical admiration for Lowell's The Present Crisis, and a con sciously sentimental appreciation of Longfellow's Maidenhood; finally, and in a little later period, when sunsets and such things had become reali ties, a capture of the senses by Browning's lines telling of the place where the quiet-colored end of evening smiles. These fragments of personal memory have not been gathered up here, of course, for personal reasons, but as fugitive data for the inductive study of the problem of poetry laying hold of youth. Happy the youth for whom the problem has been happily met! Who finds aid in the interpretation of his consciousness with such understanding as only poetry can give, - whose impulses toward the beau tiful, toward hero-worship and patriotism, love and religion, are expressed for him by the inherited wisdom of his race as it is enshrined in speech and song. To make this more easy is the highest of the purposes animating this book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book English Narrative Poems written by Various Authors and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrative poetry is distinguished from other types of verse in that it aims to relate a connected series of events and, therefore, deals primarily with actions, rather than with thoughts or emotions. This definition, however, simple as it appears to be in theory, is often difficult to apply as a test because other matter is blended with the pure narrative. In any story where the situation is made prominent, description may be required to make clear the scene and explain movements to the reader; thus Enoch Arden begins with a word picture of a sea-coast town. Again it is often necessary to analyze the motives which actuate certain characters, and so it becomes necessary to introduce exposition of some sort into the plot. The poems in this collection serve to enforce the lesson that the four standard rhetorical formsÑnarration, description, exposition, and argumentationÑare constantly being combined and welded in a complicated way. In cases where these various literary elements are apparently in a tangle, a classification, if it be made at all, must be based on the design of the poem as a whole, and the emphasis and proportion given to the respective elements by the author. If the stress is laid on the recounting of the events which make up a unified action, and if the other factors are made subordinate and subsidiary to this end, then the poem in question belongs to the narrative group. The antiquity of the narrative as a form of literature is undisputed. Indeed it has been established with a reasonable degree of certainty that poetry in its very beginnings was narrative and in its primitive state must have been a sort of rude, rhythmical chant, originated and participated in by the tribe as a whole, and telling of the exploits of gods or legendary heroes. In the course of time there arose the minstrel, who, acting first as chorus leader, became eventually the representative of the tribe and its own special singer. When we reach a somewhat more advanced stage of civilization, we find regularly appointed bards reciting their lays in the hall of the chieftain or urging on the warriors to battle with rehearsals of past victories. Originally these bards simply repeated the old oral traditions handed down as common property, but the opportunity for the display of individual genius soon induced them to try variations on the current themes and to compose versions of their own. With this advance of individualism, poetry became gradually more complex. Various elements, lyrical, descriptive, and dramatic, assumed some prominence and tended to develop separate forms. This differentiation, however, did not impair the vigor of the story-telling spirit, and a constant succession of narrative poems down to the present day evidences how productive and characteristic a feature of our literature this form has been.
Download or read book The Knight s Tale Or Palamon and Arcite Classic Reprint written by Geoffrey Chaucer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Knight's Tale, or Palamon and Arcite Chaucer. - Amongst the rather numerous English poets who wrote in times preceding the sixteenth century, the chief name is that of Geoffrey Chaucer. Indeed, not a few of our oldest poems were written by anonymous authors, or by authors of whom we know little beyond the mere name. Fortunately, owing to his connexion with the court and with official duties, the chief events in Chaucer's life are tolerably well ascertained; and a good account of him is readily accessible in all the more recent books that treat of English literature. It is necessary to consult recent accounts, because the older ones contain numerous state ments founded upon guesswork, which later researches have shown to be misleading and erroneous.
