Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Literary Men: The Nineteenth Century The present volume completes a work which is intended, as stated in the earlier and companion volume, to illustrate the history of English literature, by means of letters, from the end of the fifteenth to the beginning of the twentieth century. The letters, now first collected, take up the story from the death of Burns, with which the first volume comes to a close, and bring it down to Ruskin and Robert Buchanan, who, alone among the authors here included, lived long enough to link the twentieth century with the literary history of the nineteenth. It has been by no means an easy task to find room for all the great writers of English literature during the last hundred years; and in some cases it has been impossible to obtain letters suitable for the purpose - which has been to follow each author through all the more important stages of his career, allowing him to relate events, and record his impressions, in his own words. For that reason no letters of living authors have been included; and questions of copyright have made it necessary to give less space to certain writers of the past than their merits deserve.

Book excerpt: Letters written by a plenitude of literary men from Sir Thomas Moore to Robert Burns and illustrating the history of English literature from the fifteenth to the beginning of the twentieth century. The object is to illustrate the history of English literature by means of letters. The editor has sought to bring the reader, as far as possible, into personal touch with the great authors - for letters, as James Howell said as long ago as 1645, "may more than history enclose," and tell their story "by a more gentle and familiar way." Too often the works of a distinguished writer create a false impression of his character and personality; but generally speaking, he stands revealed in his letters.

Download or read book John Keats The Man Behind The Lyrics Life letters and literary remains written by John Keats and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-05 with total page 1299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "John Keats - The Man Behind The Lyrics: Life, letters, and literary remains" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. John Keats (1795-1821) was an English Romantic poet. The poetry of Keats is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analyzed in English literature. During the 19th century, critics deemed them unworthy of attention, distractions from his poetic works. During the 20th century they became almost as admired and studied as his poetry, and are highly regarded within the canon of English literary correspondence. T. S. Eliot described them as "certainly the most notable and most important ever written by any English poet." Keats spent a great deal of time considering poetry itself, its constructs and impacts, displaying a deep interest unusual amongst his milieu who were more easily distracted by metaphysics or politics, fashions or science.

Book excerpt: Stories of the lives and losses of the Post Office Rifles in World War I--men who came from all ranks and walks of life, brought together by their common pre-war employment as Post Office workers When World War I broke out, the post office was the biggest employer in the world. Spanning many ranks and walks of life, 12,000 men fought bravely with the Post Office Rifles. By the war's end, 1,800 of them had been killed. Those same men who not long before had been sorting and delivering mail, found themselves hoping their own letters would get through to their loved ones at home, and relying on the letters and parcels sent to them for their own much needed morale-boosts. Using the personal stories and letters of the men who joined the Post Office Rifles, this is a moving account of how the war touched the lives of ordinary men--how it changed communities, how women took up men's working roles, and, of course, the vital role the mail played in the war. Love letters, letters from the front line, much-welcomed parcels of food and cigarettes, and sad letters of condolence--together these tell the story of the fallen heroes.

Download or read book The World Republic of Letters written by Pascale Casanova and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "world of letters" has always seemed a matter more of metaphor than of global reality. In this book, Pascale Casanova shows us the state of world literature behind the stylistic refinements--a world of letters relatively independent from economic and political realms, and in which language systems, aesthetic orders, and genres struggle for dominance. Rejecting facile talk of globalization, with its suggestion of a happy literary "melting pot," Casanova exposes an emerging regime of inequality in the world of letters, where minor languages and literatures are subject to the invisible but implacable violence of their dominant counterparts. Inspired by the writings of Fernand Braudel and Pierre Bourdieu, this ambitious book develops the first systematic model for understanding the production, circulation, and valuing of literature worldwide. Casanova proposes a baseline from which we might measure the newness and modernity of the world of letters--the literary equivalent of the meridian at Greenwich. She argues for the importance of literary capital and its role in giving value and legitimacy to nations in their incessant struggle for international power. Within her overarching theory, Casanova locates three main periods in the genesis of world literature--Latin, French, and German--and closely examines three towering figures in the world republic of letters--Kafka, Joyce, and Faulkner. Her work provides a rich and surprising view of the political struggles of our modern world--one framed by sites of publication, circulation, translation, and efforts at literary annexation.
