Download or read book In the Days of Scott Classic Reprint written by Tudor Jenks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Days of Scott The days of Sir Walter Scott bring us so much nearer to our own time, that Chaucer and Shakespeare and Milton must have seemed to the author of Waverley as far removed from him as they seem re mote from ourselves. It is not easy to keep the past in true perspective. We think of our Revolutionary days as long gone by, and of Scott as modern, without reflecting that Scott was but a little child when the New England farmers fired the shot heard round the world. The impression that the father of the historical novel lived not so very long ago is due partly to the fact that he is so much more modern than the days of Chivalry and of Border warfare about which he wrote, and partly to the wholesome and abounding Vitality of this great Scotchman.

This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epitome of Lockhart's Life of Scott He concludes another letter by saying I wish I had time to write about the Life of Scott. I may be wrong, but I am vaguely under the impression that it has never had a really wide circulation. If so, it is the saddest pity and I should greatly like (without any censure on its present length) to see published an abbreviation of it. Mr. Hope Scott tells us that to the suggestion made in the last extract he paid immediate attention; but, being unable to attempt the task himself, and at the same time being jealous of entrusting it to less reverent, even though more skilful, hands, he found it difficult to proceed. He says One eminent man, to whom I pro posed the work, combined all the qualifications which I could desire, but his own pursuits prevented him from undertaking it; and, after his refusal, the pros peot of a new Life, such as alone I could have wished to see published, became gradually more uncertain.

Download or read book Sir Walter Scott Classic Reprint written by George Saintsbury and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-10 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Walter Scott To the very probable remark that 'another little book about Scott is not wanted, ' I can at least reply that apparently it is, inasmuch as the publishers proposed this volume to me, not I to them. And I believe that, as a matter of fact, no 'little book about Scott' has appeared since the journal was completed, since the new and important instalment of Letters appeared (in both cases with invaluable editorial apparatus by Mr. David Douglas), and especially since Mr. Lang's Locéizarf was published. It is true that no one of these, nor any other book that is likely to appear, has altered, or is likely to alter, much in a sane estimate of Sir Walter. His own matchless character and the genius of his first biographer combined to set before the world early an idea, of which it is safe to say that nothing that should lower it need be feared, and hardly anything to heighten it can be reasonably hoped. But as fresh items of illustrative detail are made public, there can be no harm in en deavouring to incorporate something of what they give us in fresh abstracts and aperfus from time to time. And for the continued and, as far as space permits, detailed criticism of the work, it may be pleaded that criticism of Scott has for many years been chiefly general, while in criticism, even more than in other things, generalities are deceptive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Authors Digest, Vol. 14: Christian Reid to Walter Scott The unannounced return of Pauline Morton to her old home caused the greatest possible excitement among the friends and connections of her family; but the person most deeply interested and concerned was her cousin, Mrs. Annesley, who had hoped that her son might eventually become the possessor of Morton House. Although the two cousins had grown up together, they thoroughly disliked each other, and therefore when Mrs. Annes ley, after considerable delay, went to Morton House, she was received very coldly. But, conscious of her strong position as a woman of wealth and a leader of society, She did not hesitate to intimate to her cousin that some explanation was necessary of her appearance without her husband. TO this Mrs. Gordon haughtily replied that she had no intention Of giving an account of her private affairs to anyone; that if the old friends of her family chose to doubt or ignore her they were entirely at liberty to do so, since for herself she desired no social life, and had already given orders that She was to be denied to any visitors that might come. When Mrs. Gordon had thus made her opening move toward, as She hoped, isolating her cousin and rendering Morton House intolerable to her, Mrs. Annesley took her departure and later made every effort in her power to dissuade her son from Visiting his kinswoman. But Morton's chivalrous spirit refused to yield to her wishes, and, ordering his horse, he set out for Morton House, overtaking on the way a party of young people who were full of gossip about the beautiful recluse. Among the group, but taking no part in the offensive gossip, was Irene Vernon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Intimate Life of Sir Walter Scott For this presentation of Sir Walter is new. It is not the picture of him that is given in the books of last century, and it may be unsatisfactory in the eyes of 2020, but it is a twentieth-century portrait that contains lights and shadows obscure or absent in previous representations. This is the first time, too, that his first love has been discussed with common sense, and that anyone has taken the trouble to master the details of Scott's involved connection with the business firms and with their failure.

Download or read book With Scott written by Griffith Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With Scott: The Silver Lining The great adventure of Scott's last expedition has been given to the world in the faithful simplicity of the leader's own words, as they were set down from day to day. His diaries were but the basis of the book that should have been written. We have not the half of what he could have told us. But in another sense, that half is greater than the whole. Here stand first impressions, not retouched: the ebb and flow of his hopes and fears, the lights and shadows of the moment, never reviewed in later perspective after the event; thumb nail sketches of character, vividly set down; notes of the day which reveal his spirit entering into the spirit of his men and at the end, the singleness of heart that could give all and accept all for one high purpose. I have often liked to think - surely it is true - that the universal thrill awakened by his example strung up the soul of the nation unawares for the great call so soon to be made upon it. The other half of the picture has been partly filled in. Others have given the history of outlying explorations with their tale of human resource and endurance; they have recorded scientific results or described special branches of natural history in the Antarctic. Something, however, is still left to be told. No one will forget Captain Scott's almost incredulous delight at the goodwill and harmony of his little company under the trying conditions of Ross Island. It is for Mr. Griffith Taylor to tell of the daily life of that company from within, to tell in careless detail its lighthearted cheerfulness lining solid effort, which the cloud of English earnestness so constantly turns out upon the night.

Download or read book Culturgeschichtliche Novellen written by W. H. Riehl and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.
