Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primitiae: Essays in English Literature The many-sidedness of Blake's genius appears plainly from an examination of the literature that during recent years has gathered about his work. For instance, in his History of English Prosody, Professor Saintsbury thus sums up his presentment of the case for Blake as metrist: 'No poet since Shakespeare seems to me to have had such an instinctive mastery of the great principle of perfected English prosody - foot-composition with free substitution; and, in the second place, Blake shows the way to the progress in this line made by his younger contemporaries and followers, the poets of the nineteenth century proper.... That Blake left plenty of half-done work - work not even half-done in many cases - is a mere historical fact. But his half-done work has the root of the matter in it; and his done work has root and stem and blossom and flower and fruit all at once, as if it grew in the gardens of Alcinous.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latest Literary Essays: The Old English Dramatists The publication, in a volume, of the following Essays and Addresses is in accordance with the intention of their author. Most of them had been revised by him with this end in view. The only one of them concerning which there is a doubt, whether he would have published it in its present form, is the paper on Richard III.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of English Essays The Essay, as a distinct literary form, may be defined as a prose composition of moderate length, dealing with one subject, and in such a way as to give free expression to the personality of the writer. The term has, indeed, been loosely applied to a wide variety of prose works, e such as the philosophical treatise, the historical or bio graphical monograph, and the brief anonymous article of the newspaper. But the essay, in'the' stricter sense in which the word is employed in this volume, is always personal, always in some degree autobiographical. The essayist is, in some special sense, writing Of himself. The essay thus, in this respect, corresponds in prose with the lyric in verse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on English The American Academy of Arts and Letters accepted in 1917 a fund for the purpose of enabling it "to consider its duty towards the conservation of the English language in its beauty and purity"; and the Academy held several meetings to discover what its duty might be. At these meetings it was made evident that many, if not most, of those present were of opinion that the condition of our noble tongue was alarming and that this condition was perhaps even more alarming in the United States than it was in Great Britain. One of those who contributed to the discussion went so far as to suggest that English as spoken and as written here in the United States had entered on a period of degeneracy not unlike that which befel Greek in the days of its decadence in what is known as the Hellenistic era.

Download or read book Select Essays of Sainte Beuve written by A. J. Butler and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Essays of Sainte-Beuve: Chiefly Bearing on English Literature A good many years ago the present translator ventured to speak a little disrespectfully of a remark of Sainte-Beuve's. When, therefore, in pursuance of a suggestion made by a well-known authority on English literature, who is also great in the councils of University Extension, he was asked to undertake the task of producing a translation of such of the eminent French critic's essays as might, it was thought, be of interest to many students of English literature, it seemed that the hand of Nemesis was at work. Nay, it was manifest in the very matter of the penalty. The remark referred to was part of a sentence in which it was said that to read Dante attentively almost inevitably meant wanting to translate him. Now, to read Sainte-Beuve attentively means inevitably wanting not to translate him. It may be true, as Bonstetten said, that in French you have to reject ten thoughts before coming to one which you can clothe properly; but when that one is clothed, how well its clothes fit! 'To read good French, ' wrote a master of English once to the present writer, 'almost makes one despair of ever expressing one's self properly.'

Download or read book Some Authors written by Walter Raleigh and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Authors: A Collection of Literary Essays, 1896 1916 We know hardly anything of the intimate life of Boccaccio except what he has told us, and almost all that he has told us is presented to us under the guise of fiction. Was he speaking of himself? Here enter the two eternal schools of literary criticism with their tedious controversy. The early romances and poems of Boccaccio - the Filocolo, the Filostrato, the Teseide, the Ameto, the Amorosa Visione, the Fiammetta, the Ninfale Fiesolano - are all romances, poems, and allegories dealing with love; all point to a loveaffair which reaches the summit of happiness and is then broken by desertion and separation. There was only one love-story, it seems, which interested Boccaccio; what wonder if it was his own? And his own, so far as we have independent knowledge of it, corresponds with the love-story of the romances and poems. The Filostrato, in its dedication to Fiammetta, asserts the identity: 'You are gone suddenly to Samnium, and ... I have sought in the old histories what personage I might choose as messenger of my secret and unhappy love, and have found Troilus, son of Priam, who loved Cressida. His miseries are my history. I have sung them in light rhymes and in my own Tuscan, and so when you read the lamentations of Troilus and his sorrow at the departure of his love, you shall know my tears, my sighs, my agonies; and if I vaunt the beauties and the charms of Cressida, you will know that I dream of yours.'
