Download or read book A Course of Lectures on Dramatic Art and Literature Classic Reprint written by August Wilhelm Von Schlegel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Course of Lectures on Dramatic Art and Literature W. Schlegel has given a course of Dramatic Literature at Vienna, which comprises every thing remarkable that has been composed for the theatre, from the time of the Grecians to our own days. It is not a barren nomenclature of the works of the various authors: he seizes the spirit of their different sorts of literature with all the imagination of a poet. We are sensible that to produce such consequences extra ordinary studies are required: but learning is not perceived in this work, except by his perfect knowledge of the chefs-d'wuvre of composition. In 9 few pages we reap the fruit of the labour of a whole life; every Opinion formed by the author, every epithet given to the writers of whom he speaks, is beautiful and just, concise and animated. He has found the art of treating the finest pieces of poetry as so many wonders of nature, and of painting them in lively colours, which do not injure the justness of the outline; for we cannot repeat too often, that imagination, far from being an enemy to truth, brings it forward more than any other faculty of the mind; and all those who depend upon it as an excuse for indefinite terms or exaggerated expressions, are at least as destitute of poetry as of good sense.

Download or read book Lectures English History Tragic Poetry written by Henry Reed and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures English History Tragic Poetry: As Illustrated by Illustrated I will endeavour in the lectures partially to notice those intervals; and I propose to extend my subject into a more remote antiquity, by taking the tragedy of King Lear as illustrative of the legendary times, and Cymbeline and Macbeth, of the Roman and Saxon periods, respectively. The nature of this subject renders these lectures literary as well as historical; and they must combine the study of those two high departments of human thought, poetry and history. Now I desire to say, at the outset, that I have sought this combination, not so much as a means of relieving the severity of historical study and making it more attractive, as because I have a deep conviction, that Poetry has a precious power of its own for the preservation of historical truth; that it can so revivify the past - can put such life in it - as to make imperishable. I have it greatly at heart to carry this deep conviction of mine into your minds, and hope to be able to show, if not by argument in this lecture, at least by actual evidence in those that follow, how a great poet may be, at the same time, a great historian. Before going further with the subject of my lecture, let me take two or three minutes to prevent some misapprehensions, which might otherwise occur. While there may be a legitimate and valuable service of the faculty of imagination in the cause of history, there is certainly a great deal that is utterly spurious and deceptive, especially in the shape of historical novels, among which the few excellent stand distinguished from a multitude that are worthless. I have no occasion to refer to them, and wish to be understood as treating my subject altogether apart from them. Again, when I state that the imagination may minister to the knowledge of history, I certainly do not mean to say, that the poetic or dramatic form is better than any other form of history, or, indeed, to make any kind of comparison between them. There is in each its own peculiar value; and so vast is the range of history, that it needs them all: it gives ample duty to every one who labours to save the memory of the past whether it be he who zealously collects authentic documents, or pores over time-worn inscriptions, or gathers unwritten traditions - whether it be annalist, or chronicler, or biographer, or historian. I allude to these various functions, not in the way of comparison, but, on the contrary, to show that no disparagement of them is to be understood, when I assert the use of the imagination in the study of history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Works the Genius of Washington Allston The Lectures contained in this volume are given to the public, as they were left by the author, at his death. There might, perhaps, be some question as to the propriety of giving to the world an unfin ished work of criticism upon such a subject; but the words of the author himself, in speaking of the great unfinished picture of the Artist, whose name and fame it was his object, so far as it was in his power, to make more extensively known and honored among us, furnish a suflicient apology. It seems to be, a work from which lessons may be drawn of use to society; too valuable, too beautiful, too much of it near its completion, too instructive, in many ways, to be rolled up forever.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Poetry: Inaugural Lecture Delivered Before the University of Oxford, 5 June 1920 I wish I could say how deeply I feel what I owe to the generous and sanguine friends who have elected me to this most honourable Chair. It would be less difficult to find words for the danger of the task; this is the Siege Perilous. But I will not attempt to say in full what I think and feel most sincerely with regard to the honour you have done me; as for the hazards of the place, they must be manifest to every one who has spent any time at all in thinking of the Art of Poetry. But you will allow me to say as much as this, that I find the greatest encouragement and the best auspices in those who have held this Chair before me; and I ask leave in this place to thank Mr. Bradley, Mr. Mackail, and the President of Magdalen for their good wishes. Drummond of Hawthornden, writing his sentiments about a new fashion in poetry which displeased him, begins with some old-fashioned sentences which may afford a text here; in a letter addressed 'to his much-honoured friend M.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poetical Gleanings: With Notes and Biographical Sketches These gleanings from the rich field of English poetry have been compiled with a View to being used both as a class-book in schools and as a repertory for home reading. It is not intended that the pieces should be used as furnishing exercises in grammar and the meanings of words, but rather so as to foster a taste for reading poetry for the pleasure of reading it and the object of the notes is merely to explain such unusual words and allusions as might hinder the reader from seizing readily the general meaning of the sentence. It always adds to the interest of what we read when we know something of the writer, and accordingly brief biographical sketches of the authors of the poems are appended, arranged in alphabetical order.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the English Comic Writers Tar: Lectures forming this volume were delivered at the Surrey Institution in 1818, and published immediately af rds. The present Edition, howet', contains some tions from other sources, collected by the author, ap parently with a view to a reprint of the volume, which additions are distinguished by brackets. Some of these are taken from an article contributed by the author to the Morning Chronicle in, I think, 1813, and the rest are critical prefaces, written by my father for Mr. Oxberry's Editions of the various Plays remarked upon. Having determined upon the speedy publication, in a collective form, of the whole of my father's writings on Art, and Artists, together with some pieces on these subjects not hitherto edited, I at first conceived it advisable to transfer the Lecture on Hogarth' to this latter work, where, pos sibly, in some points of view, it might appear better placed; but, on reflection, I have retained that Lecture in its ori ginnl position; for, after all, Hogarth was a comic writer, and one of our best; the only difl'erence is, that he wrote.

Download or read book Sketches and Scholarly Studies written by Gerard Manley Hopkins and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sketches and Scholarly Studies: Part 1: Academic, Classical, and Lectures on Poetry offers an original perspective on Gerard Manley Hopkins's training as a classicist. R. K. R. Thornton's edition attempts to follow the turns of Hopkins's mind, and to clarify what he was exploring. The notes and introductions reveal how careful a scholar Hopkins was, how intricate his knowledge of the Classics, and how his critical positions developed. The edition reveals in all its detail the range of Hopkins's research into the notion of poetry itself, when he prepared for his fellow Jesuits a course on 'rhetoric'. These areas were his training ground before he launched into his new-found poetic with 'The Wreck of the Deutschland'. Through this authoritative critical edition, we see Hopkins's continued exploration of metrics and glimpses of material which would grow into the major poetry that we know, but everywhere we can see the acuity of Hopkins's mind."--
