Excerpt: ...strength, and I expect that it will be realised soon.... 1 ' The English in Ireland.' ' Secularism and Mr. Maurice's Theolog7, ' by J. Llewelyn Davie: Contemporary Review, June 1874. Have you read Morley's papers on ' Compromise'? I like them myself, and have heard them well spoken of generally. Llewelyn Davies, who undertook to smash me the other day in the Contemporary, did me the honour of coupling me with J. M. as the two devil's advocates, who actually say that many people now don't believe in Christianity.... In the Spectator of a week ago it was said that I was a psychological curiosity, because I speak of poor old F. D. Maurice as muddle-headed. They have kept their wrath bottled up for six months, but it has by no means cooled. I was silly enough to write to them to say that I did not (as they said I did) insinuate that all Broad Church people were cheats; and added that when I wanted to say so, 1 should do it in plain terms.1... Jdy 28, 1874. To Mr. Norton.... I am in a great hurry with portmanteaus lying about, and only want to answer a question. I will send you ' Ruskin ' in a few days. I did not send ' Hours in a Library, ' because--it is a very foolish reason--I am--do not mention it to any one--rather ashamed of it. I don't know why, but I have a suspicion that I am not a good critic, or perhaps it is merely a case of distorted vanity. Lowell bullied me out of a copy; but I regretted it, and could wish that the book should not have crossed the Atlantic. However, you will be merciful as a critic of mine. Don't say anything about the book when you write again, or it will seem to me as though I had been fishing for a compliment. This is written on the understanding that you will preserve a judicious silence in the interests of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Leslie Stephen Leslie Stephen left behind him many and good friends. Sixty at least of them have helped me in the making of this book. Some have supplied information, some have lent letters, some have written sentences or paragraphs which with due acknowledgment will appear hereafter. I hope and believe that I have thanked all of them severally and in private for their kindness and courtesy. If now in thanking them jointly and in public I do not name them, that is partly because they are so many, and partly because a prefatory parade of their names might raise hopes that this book will not fulfil.

Book Leslie Stephen s Life in Letters

Download or read book Leslie Stephen s Life in Letters written by Gillian Fenwick and published by Aldershot, Hants, England : Scolar Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the forty years after he left Cambridge in 1864, Leslie Stephen (1832-1904) published thirty volumes of his own writings and contributed to another twenty books. He wrote literally hundreds of articles for British and American magazines and worked as editor of The Cornhill Magazine and of Alpine Journal as well as the Dictionary of National Biography. By any standards his literary career was successful, epitomising the life of the Victorian man of letters. But he was never completely satisfied with his endeavours. He remained self-effacing, adopting the pose of an amateur in a field in which, in fact, he was a superb professional; asking, 'Will not the twentieth century laugh at the nineteenth?' Contrary to his expectations, Leslie Stephen has not been relegated to the learned footnotes, as contemporary Victorian scholarship and Bloomsbury studies prove.This bibliography is an account of Leslie Stephen's entire writing and publishing career, based on the author's detailed research into his books and articles as well as unpublished, and in many cases, uncatalogued, autograph material in British and American libraries, museums and publishers' archives. Emphasis is on the composition, publication history and evolution of the works, including new editions and reissues of his books during Leslie Stephen's lifetime.

Download or read book Selected Letters of Leslie Stephen written by John W. Bicknell and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-09-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since F.W. Maitland's Life and Letters of Leslie Stephen (1907), there has been no volume of the letters written by this extraordinary and eminent Victorian. Alpinist, literary critic, god-killer, editor of The Cornhill Magazine and The Dictionary of National Biography, biographer, historian of ideas, and father of Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf, Stephen corresponded with a host of men and women, including such notables as his American friends - James Russell Lowell, Justice Holmes and art historian Charles E. Norton; such contemporaries among the intelligentsia as John Morley, Henry Sidgwick, George Eliot, Robert Louis Stevenson, F.W. Maitland, and Thomas Hardy; and the members of his family - Minny, his first wife; his sister-in-law, Anny Ritchie; his son Thoby; and his best beloved second wife, Julia. In his letters, always readable, we find his enthusiasms, his ironic humour, his self-doubt and self-pity, his anguish over his retarded child Laura, his candour, his lively portraits of people and places, his delight in the young - Nessa, Ginia and Thoby, and his direct and easy style as he responds to his reader's interests and needs. This second volume follws the demanding years Stephen spent as Editor of The Dictionary of National Biography, his happy life with Julia until her death in 1895 and his continuing devotion to literature, a source of much solace in his last years.

Book The Open Book

Download or read book The Open Book written by M. Jensen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Open Book is a provocative study of literary influence at work in English writing from Hardy to Woolf. Jensen reimagines the links between text and context as she endeavors to historicize literary influence, by taking Bloomian 'anxiety' and Kristevan 'intertextuality' into fields of actual history and biography. Jensen both borrows from and deconstructs the ideas of these theorists as she reads the texts of Hardy, Stephen, Woolf, Mansfield, and Middleton Murry. By doing so, The Open Book offers a fresh and pragmatic opening onto the relation between personal, cultural and institutional history on the one hand, and literary history on the other.
