Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Edward Dowden and His Correspondents The truth contained in the saying, A critic is one who has failed in art, needs to be more explicitly stated. A critic is often one whose power of conception exceeds his power of execution, but who is left with enough of the latter not merely to make him endlesslv curious as to how the thing is done, but to give him a special insight into the processes of its accomplishment. When in addition to this technical equipment he is endowed with a special instinct for getting at the truth of things, he is an ideal critic. Edward Dowden lived in an age of criticism, and many wrote in a more brilliant and personal style than he, but it may be doubted if any critic of his time in these islands surpassed or even equalled him in the power of getting at the structural idea in any imaginative work considered by him. He astonished the author of Sordello when, a young man barely out of his teens, he applied this faculty of his to its interpretation; and all through life, in his enormous and incessant reading, he laid up for himself a continual increment of skill and wisdom by its exercise. Yet although at the age of twenty four he was already the well-known Professor Dowden. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters About Shelley: Interchanged by Three Friends Edward Dowden, Richard Garnett, and Michael This long series of letters - the first is dated 1869 and the last 1906 - between three distinguished men of letters is brought together by the co-operation of Mr W. M. Rossetti, Mrs Dowden, and the Editor, the eldest son of the third correspondent. The main object of Win. Michael Rossetti, Edward Dowden, and Richard Garnett was the interchange of information and ideas respecting the poet Shelley. It is a delightful picture that their letters give of these busy men finding rest and refreshment in work as arduous as that by which they gained their bread, and chatting with each other over subjects that when unillumined by the glow of enthusiasm might have become arid as dust. The brotherhood of letters and scholarship has rarely been more pleasantly shown. We see Mr Rossetti taking up his pen to announce to Garnett, the "turning up of a great Shelley curiosity for which the Shelley family and the British Museum ought to outbid one another"; we see him threatening to prove "stolid and obstinate respecting my biographic point of view in my Memoir of Shelley"; reporting a conversation of hours with Trelawny" when he handed me the original MSS. of Shelley's poems to Mrs Williams with scraps of messages thereon and exhibited a Shelleyan enthusiasm which was most refreshing."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters of Charles Dickens IN publishing this New Edition of The Letters of Charles Dickens in a popular form, we have taken great pains to make our work complete. \ve have carefully revised and corrected the contents of our previous books, now condensed, chronologically, into two volumes. With a view to making our selection as perfect as possible, we have collected together the letters from Charles Dickens which have already been published in various Biographies, and have chosen those which we consider to be of the greatest interest. We intend this Collection of Letters to be a Supplement to the Life of Charles Dickens, by John Forster. That work, admirable and exhaustive as a biography, is only in complete as regards correspondence 3 the scheme of the book having made it impossible to include in its space any letters, or hardly any, besides those addressed to Mr. Forster. As no man ever expressed himself more in his letters than Charles Dickens, we believe that in publishing this careful selection from his general correspondence we are supplying a want which has been universally felt. Our request for the loan of letters was so promptly and fully responded to, that we have been provided with more than sufficient material for our work. By arranging the letters in chronological order, we find that they very fre quently explain themselves and form a narrative of the events of each year. Our collection dates from 1833, the commencement of Charles Dickens' literary life, just before the starting of the Pickwick Papers, and is carried on up to the day before his death, in 1870.

Download or read book Irish Essays written by Denis Donoghue and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denis Donoghue has been a key figure in Irish studies and an important public intellectual in Ireland, the UK and US throughout his career. These essays represent the best of his writing and operate in conversation with one another. He probes the questions of Irish national and cultural identity that underlie the finest achievements of Irish writing in all genres. Together, the essays form an unusually lively and far-reaching study of three crucial Irish writers – Swift, Yeats and Joyce – together with other voices including Mangan, Beckett, Trevor, McGahern and Doyle. Donoghue's forceful arguments, deep engagement with the critical tradition, buoyant prose and extensive learning are all exemplified in this collection. This book is essential reading for all those interested in Irish literature and culture and its far-reaching effects on the world.
Download or read book The Life and Letters of Edward Young Classic Reprint written by Henry C. Shelley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Edward Young There is room for a new life of Young. Nearly a century has elapsed since that declaration was made by a contributor to Chalmers' Biographical Dictionary: and the assertion needs no qualification today. It is not merely, as that writer observed, that the sketch which was written for Dr. Johnson's Lives of the Poets by the Rev. Sir Herbert Croft is not always candid, nor always perspicuous, but that adequate materials for a biography of the poet have not been available until recent years. Much might be urged in corroboration of Croft's lack of candour and perspicuity, but as the chief offences of that biographer are dealt with in the ensuing pages there is no necessity to recapitulate them here. What has always to be borne in mind is that Croft was a close friend of the poet's erring son, and that he consequently held a brief for Frederick as against Edward Young. This posthumous misfortune should ensure sympathy for a man who had a full share of that commodity in his lifetime for, owing to the fact that Croft's narrative had the distinction of being included with Dr. Johnson's Lives, it set the tone for subsequent writers. Hence, with rare exceptions, Young's biographers have been almost as unsympathetic as they, have been ill - informed.
