Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masters of Literature, De Quincey De Quincey's active life synchronized with the period when the English and Scottish literary periodicals were at the apogee of their influence and success. They sup plied the public with a great deal both of its serious, and its lighter, reading; they were powerful, wealthy, and important, and their circulation was, for their time, large; they were conducted by enterprising publishers or keen men of business who, in their ardent rivalry with one another, were eager to draw the ablest pens of Britain into their service. A monthly or quarterly press which had among its contributors such writers as Coleridge, Keats, Landor, Sir William Hamilton, Christopher North, Lockhart, Hood, Lamb, Hazlitt, Jeffrey, John Stuart Mill, Carlyle, and Macaulay, had some reason to think well of itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from De Quincey The Farm, and then at Greenbay, a country house built by his father, and at that time still outside the spreading Circle of the city.' Here, in one or the other Of these quiet retreats, he felt the earliest impressions of the glory Of life and the pathos of life's withdrawal - that ever lasting contrast which has been so marvellously depicted by him.2 Living in the country, he says, I was naturally first laid hold Of by rural appearances or incidents. The very earliest feel ings that I recall Of a powerful character were connected with some Clusters of crocuses in the garden. Next I felt a passion of grief in a pro found degree for the death Of a beautiful bird, a kingfisher, which had been taken up in the garden with a broken wing. That occurred before I was two years of age. Next I felt, no grief at all, but awe the most enduring, and a dawning sense of the infinite, which brooded over me more or less after that time. Let the student Of De Quincey mark well that dawning sense Of the infinite, for therein lies the Clue to a full understanding of his genius and writings.

Download or read book Selections From De Quincey written by Milton Haight Turk and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From De Quincey: Edited With an Introduction This volume contains - besides the Confessions, several of the Snspz'rz'a, and other popular pieces the most impor tant parts of De Quincey's Antooz'ogmp/zz'o Sketoizes and some of his most interesting Literary Romz'nz'soenoos. It is hoped that the selections will serve to illustrate pretty fully De Quincey's varied literary activity, while at the same time they throw light upon his life and character. A portion of the Introduction is devoted to the study of his personality. The text adopted is, except in the case of the Confessions, the latest to which De Quincey gave his approval. For the use of the original Confessions in place of the greatly enlarged version of 1856, there appears to be a better excuse than that of brevity. As will be pointed out in the Introduction, it is at least a question whether the earlier form had not the preference of the author himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 14 IT remains for the present volume to conclude the series of De Quincey's miscellanea and to add whatever else may be necessary for the completion of the edition. The paper entitled Education of Boys in Large Numbers dates from as far back as 1824, when it appeared in the London Magazine. One hardly knows why, among De Quincey's numerous contributions to that once famous periodical, this particular paper should have been so long overlooked. He seems to have attached some value to it himself; it attracted some notice at the time and it is of some intrinsic interest still, both as a history of a notable experiment in the art of school-management seventy years ago by a family of great subsequent celebrity on other grounds, and also as an exposition of not a few ideas of De Quincey's own on the subject of Education. The most pungent portion of it in this latter respect is the censure which it contains of the traditional methods of teaching Latin and Greek.

Download or read book The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey Vol 12 Classic Reprint written by David Masson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 12 A kind communication received from a correspondent enables us to correct this mistake. De Quincey's Fatal Marksman, it obligingly informs us, is from the German of J. A. Apel, and is not the only existing English translation of the original story by that author, - another having appeared, under the title of Der Freisclnitz or The Magic Ball9, in a volume of "Tales of the Wild and Wonderful" published in 1825 by Hurst, Robinson, & Co. of London. With the help of the clue so furnished, we have ascertained the following particulars: - In the first volume of the Gespcnsterbuch, or Book of Ghost Stories, published at Leipsig in 1810-14 by Johann August Apel (1771-1816), in conjunction with Friedrich August Schulz, another popular German author of that date, but writing always under the assumed name of Friedrich Laun (1770-1849), there appeared Der Freischiitz, a story of Apel's, which soon afterwards became immortal by being used by Weber's friend Friedrich Kind for the libretto of Weber's famous opera, first produced in Berlin in 1822. To the popularity of this opera must be due the fact that there were two early translations of Apel's story into English. But Dc Quincey's translation was earlier by two years than that mentioned by our correspondent; for, having looked by mere accident into an anonymous three-volume collection of "Popular Tales and Romances of the Northern Nations," published in 1823 by Simpkin and Marshall of London, there, to our surprise, in vol. iii, we found De Quincey's Fatal Markman, exactly as we now have it, both title and text, but without the name of either the original author or the translator. The inference is that one of De Quincey's little commercial asides in 1823, when he was at his busiest in writing for the London Magazine, was this contribution to a collection of Tales from the German, and that, having a copy of it beside him in 1859, he thought it then worth reprinting just as it stood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from De Quincey's Collected Writings, Vol. 13: Tales and Prose Phantasies SO large a portion of the contents of the volume being thus representative Of De Quincey in some Of the most inti mate and peculiar qualities of his genius, one may dwell a little here on two Of those qualities in particular. While nearly all the chief Writers in the long chrono logical list which summarises the literary history Of the British Islands have been Humourists to some extent, only some have been wholly Humourists, or Humourists by such an overbalance in the general sum of their writings that one feels them to be sufficiently described all in all by that one name. Others have been Humourists only in the sense that portions Of their writings have been of the humorous order, or that there has been an interfusion of the humorous here and there in their writings throughout. SO far, therefore, as it may be desired to include De Quincey among the English Humourists, it must be in this modified, or non exclusive, sense.
