Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ernest Dowson: 1888-1897, Reminiscences, Unpublished Letters and Marginalia Poor Ernest Dowson through his sufferings is becoming almost as famous as that earlier unhappy poet who by self-destruction set apart his lifestory in the sorrowful annals of literature. There were perhaps two Chattertons - who, at this long distance of time, can tell? There were certainly two Dowsons - one the vexed and torn spirit of the biographers, of Mr Sherard and Mr Arthur Symons, the other a Dowson intime, known, I venture to think, to very few, but by those few greatly loved. This intimate and perhaps essential Dowson appears, I am convinced, in these thirty or so letters, now for the first time published in full or in part. In them no ugly slur of passion, no ill savours, are to be found. Instead we are refreshed by fragrance - transient and slight, perhaps, yet evident, - by fragrance, be it said again, and by an unfailing touch of good breeding, a gracious and insistent air of modesty - by something diffident, boyishly shy, often beautiful and noble.

A word of explanation Poor Ernest Dowson through his sufferings is becoming almost as famous as that earlier unhappy poet who by self-destruction set apart his lifestory in the sorrowful annals of literature. There were perhaps two Chattertons--who, at this long distance of time, can tell? There were certainly two Dowsons--one the vexed and torn spirit of the biographers, of Mr Sherard and Mr Arthur " Symons, the other a Dowson intime, known, I venture to think, to very few, but by those few greatly loved. This intimate and perhaps essential Dowson appears, I am convinced, in these thirty or so letters, now for the first time published in full or in part. In them no ugly slur of passion, no ill savours, are to be found. Instead we are refreshed by fragrance--transient and slight, perhaps, yet evident--by fragrance, be it said again, and by an unfailing touch of good breeding, a gracious and insistent air of modesty--by something diffident, boyishly shy, often beautiful and noble.-To me the re-reading of these letters of his brings back my friend as I knew him and love to remember him--the gentleman, the kindly, charming boyish friend, the scholar, the exquisite poet. I read and re-read through gathering tears, and lay them down when I can see no more. Prater, ave, atque vale! ernest dowson reminiscences It was early in the year 1888 that my old friend, Mr Charles Sayle, that greaFintroducer, first said to me: "There's a man whom you ought to know, a young poet just down from college, a man exactly like J."--naming a well-known writer; "only, if possible, more so!"

Download or read book Ernest Dowson written by Monica Borg and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2003-06-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernest Christopher Dowson (1867-1900) is best known as a the author of a number of exquisite lyrics which epitomise the mood and style of the English 1890s - verses like 'cynara' and 'They are not long'. Yet Arthur Symons was only repeating what Dowson often himself asserted when he said that 'Dowson was the only poet I ever knew who cared more for his prose than his verse'. Monica Borg's Introduction suggests for the first time what lay behind Dowson's opinion of the importance of his prose, seeing withing it a programme of aesthetic and cultural radicalism. She places him firmly in relation to the late-nineteenth-century crisis of values, self and representation which Dowson both expressed and sought to precipitate, and she indicates that it is in his stories rather than his verse that Dowson shows how deeply implicated he was in the politics of resistance and cultural change that characterized the decadent literary and artistic movement. This edition provides texts of all of Dowson's short stories, thoroughly corrected from the original editions and with detailed notes on their genesis and development.

Download or read book Ernest Dowson written by Mark Longaker and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few of the many romantic figures of the nineties have weathered the changing schools of literary taste as well as Ernest Dowson, in whose verse there is found a timeless, ingratiating charm and enduring interest. This biography is only incidentally a critical appraisal of Dowson's achievements but attempts to give a more completely rounded picture of the man than we have had before it. The book is based on a great deal of new material, which clears up many misinterpretations of Dowson's personality. This consists of unpublished letters from various sources, including twelve from Oscar Wilde that have not been printed before and detailed information gleaned by the author in interviews and in correspondence with persons who knew the poet intimately. To modern readers versed in psychological explanations of behavior, Dowson's story unwinds in a foredoomed pattern: the talented child of neurotic parents, the maladjusted boy at Oxford, the discontented young man in London, his curious infatuation for the child Adelaide, the brief association with prominent literary leaders in the Rhymers' Club and on the short-lived Savoy, and then his mother's suicide, his homelessness, poverty, aimless wandering abroad, the escape in drinking, finally death. Yet with it all, the insatiable urge to weave out his dreams in facile words which now form a unique and permanent contribution to English poetry. From this book Dowson emerges as a tragically interesting figure. The biography gives as much of his story as probably will ever be known, and as such takes an important place among the lives of English poets.

Download or read book Poets and the Peacock Dinner written by Lucy McDiarmid and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 18, 1914, seven male poets gathered to eat a peacock. W. B. Yeats and Ezra Pound, the celebrities of the group, led four lesser-known poets to the Sussex manor house of the man they were honouring, Wilfrid Scawen Blunt: the poet, horse-breeder, Arabist, and anti-imperialist married to Byron's only granddaughter. In this story of the curious occasion that came to be known as the 'peacock dinner,' immortalized in the famous photograph of the poets standing in a row, Lucy McDiarmid creates a new kind of literary history derived from intimacies rather than 'isms.' The dinner evolved from three close literary friendships, those between Pound and Yeats, Yeats and Lady Gregory, and Lady Gregory and Blunt, whose romantic affair thirty years earlier was unknown to the others. Through close readings of unpublished letters, diaries, memoirs, and poems, in an argument at all times theoretically informed, McDiarmid reveals the way marriage and adultery, as well as friendship, offer ways of transmitting the professional culture of poetry. Like the women who are absent from the photograph, the poets at its edges (F.S. Flint, Richard Aldington, Sturge Moore, and Victor Plarr) are also brought into the discussion, adding interest by their very marginality. This is literary history told with considerable style and brio, often comically aware of the extraordinary alliances and rivalries of the 'seven male poets' but attuned to significant issues in coterie formation, literary homosociality, and the development of modernist poetics from late-Victorian and Georgian beginnings. Poets and the Peacock Dinner is written with critical sophistication and a wit and lightness that never compromise on the rich texture of event and personality.
Download or read book Aesthetes and Decadents of the 1890s written by Karl Beckson and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2005-08-30 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aesthetic and Decadent Movement of the late 19th century spawned the idea of "Art for Art's Sake," challenged aesthetic standards and shocked the bourgeosie. From Walter Pater's study, "The Renaissance to Salome, the truly decadent collaboration between Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley, Karl Beckson has chosen a full spectrum of works that chronicle the British artistic achievement of the 1890s. In this revised edition of a classic anthology, "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" has been included in its entirety; the bibliography has been completely updated; Professor Beckson's notes and commentary have been expanded from the first edition published in 1966. The so-called Decadent or Aesthetic period remains one of the most interesting in the history of the arts. The poetry and prose of such writers as Yeats, Wilde, Symons, Johnson, Dowson, Barlas, Pater and others are included in this collection, along with sixteen of Aubrey Beardsley's drawings.
