Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Ancient Modern Learning and on Poetry Temple's fame has waned since the days when the essays here reprinted were Pope's favourite prose; but these still maintain their historical importance, for they represent a turning point in the development of English style, and in them something of the tone and temper of the eighteenth-century essay are already apparent. Goldsmith need not have told us that Temple's style was 'the model by which the best prose writers in the reign of Queen Anne formed theirs', nor Swift that Temple 'advanced our English tongue to as great perfection as it can well bear'; to read aloud a single essay is to discover for oneself this forgotten secret. Johnson suggested to Boswell at least one of the causes of this reforming power: 'Sir William Temple was the first writer who gave cadence to English prose. Before his time they were careless of arrangement, and did not mind whether a sentence ended with an important word or an insignificant word, or with what part of speech it was concluded.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on the Study and Use of Poetry The recent very general interest in poetics has led me to prepare these translations of the essays on poetry by Plutarch and Basil the Great, in the hope that they may prove useful to students of literature. Although they were not epoch-making, these essays are worthy of consideration, for, besides their intrinsic value, they mark interesting stages in the history of poetic criticism. The essay on How a Young Man Ought to Study Poetry was first rendered into English by Philemon Holland, who made a complete translation of the Morals, which was issued in octavo from the press of Arnold Hatfield, a London printer, in 1603. Its title reads as follows: The Philosophic, commonlie called The Morals, written by the learned Philosopher Plutarch of Chaeronea. Translated out of Greek into English, and conferred with the Latin translations and the French, by Philemon Holland of Coventrie, Doctor in Physicke. Whereunto are annexed the Summaries necessary to be read before every Treatise. This version, though its archaism possesses an undeniable charm, is not altogether adapted to modern requirements. A second edition, newly revised and corrected, appeared in 1657, and this was followed not many years later by the translation of the Morals by Several Hands, published in London in 1684- 1694.To this work Simon Ford contributed the version of the essay on How a Young Man Ought to Study Poetry. Fords translation is clumsy, frequently obscure, and often wide of the Greek. In 1870 Professor Goodwin offered a corrected and revised text of this rendering of the Morals, and the fact that the sixth edition appeared in 1898 attests the usefulness of this revised version.
