Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Chivalry, Romance, and the Drama The general practice of assigning some precise period when youths should be admitted into the society of the manhood of their tribe, and considered as entitled to use the privileges of that more mature class is common to many primitive nations. The custom, also, of marking the transition from the one state to the other, by some peculiar for mality and personal ceremonial, seems so very natural, that it is quite unnecessary to multiply instances, or crowd our pages with the bar barous names of the nations by whom it has been adapted. In the general and abstract definition of Chivalry, whether as comprising a body of men whose military service was on horseback, and who were invested with peculiar honours and privileges, or with reference to the mode and period in which these distinctions and privileges were con ferred, there is nothing either original or exclusively proper to our Gothic ancestors. It was in the singular tenets of Chivalry, - in the exalted, enthusiastic, and almost sanctimonious, ideas connected with its duties, - in the singular balance which its institutions offered against the evils of the rude ages in which it arose, that we are to seek those peculiarities which render it so worthy of our attention.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Treatment of Love Marriage and Other Essays Shakespeare may seem to offer little foothold for this kind of study, or at least to illustrate aspects of it too familiar to be discussed. No one now imagines him a passionless artist, holding up the mirror to a world in which he had no further concern. He was in any case a devoted lover of his country, and patriotism contributed vitally to the making of one, not the least splendid or memorable, division of his drama. National pride has occasionally impaired the poetry of the English. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
