Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern English Essays, Vol. 2 Here is the inn with the red curtain, pipes, Spittoons and eight-day clock; and there again is that impressive dungeon with the chains, which was so dull to colour. England, the hedge row elms, the thin brick houses, windmills, glimpses of the navigable Thames - England, when at last I came to visit it, was only Skelt made evident.

Download or read book Modern English Essays Vol 3 Classic Reprint written by A. H. Bullen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern English Essays, Vol. 3 "I love a man that doth stoutly express himself," said Montaigne, and his preference might well point to the stout comments of W. E. Henley on Hazlitt the essayist that give backbone to this volume. Henley led at the close of last century a little phalanx of his own, and made of The Scots (that became The National) Observer (1889-1894) another in the long succession of journals that fostered the essay. His account of Hazlitt comes, however, not from that source, but from an edition of Hazlitt's works. It may be placed with Augustine Birrell's account of Lamb, also from a new edition of a favourite author, in that series of justificative pieces on which essayists rest their case for an independent canon. Of their near contemporaries, Richard Jefferies is a little master among the essayists of nature. "The Sun and the Brook" comes from a posthumous collection entitled The Hills and the Vale. Mrs. Meynell, individual in her method as any of this group, was a National Observer contributor who had a pen sensitive and sure. She and "Vernon Lee" (Miss Paget) have both written delightfully, in their different ways, on the power and spirit of place. The essay "Genius Loci" is from the volume of that name. Mrs. Meynell's "Point of Biography" is from her Collected Essays. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern English Essays, Vol. 1 This new stringency of the periodical page was yet more likely to be felt in a magazine like The Cornhill, which set out to be entertaining first and intellectual afterwards. In its earlier volumes there are solid contributions from Leslie Stephen, who was its editor for some years, Matthew Arnold, and other major essayists; but in style and attack, and economy of expression, they mark a change. And when we come to the weekly reviews, and dis cover men of the Old quarterly calibre, men like Leslie Stephen's elder brother, F itzjames Stephen (who became a famous judge), adapting themselves to a middle article, and making it more damaging than a quarterly review, we realise that the critical headquarters have shifted from the quarterly to the monthly and weekly reviews.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Essays IT had been my habit, I am now aware, to speak somewhat lightly of the labors of anthologists: to insinuate that they led lives of bland sedentary ease. I shall not do so again. When the publisher suggested a collection of representative contemporary essays, I thought it would be the most lenient of tasks.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern English Essays, Vol. 4: By Ernest Philosopher that Failed comes from his Character and Comedy, to Logan Pearsall Smith, whose essay on the Rose is from Trivia. These are both books of one period, given to brief considerations Of things; yet they are markedly diverse. One writer is a relisher of life and letters; the other, a Spiritual sybarite. The latter is an American by birth; so is Professor Brander Matthews, whose function as professor and New York dramatic critic has not Spoilt his hand as an essayist. His account of Maria Edgeworth is an Everyman essay. Another contributor is Hilaire Belloc. He has written books On Nothing On Everything and On Anything His essays here printed come from the first of the three. He and his congenial fellow prose-writer, G. K. Chesterton, who contributes two essays, write from the life and from the hour, much as did the eighteenth-century men. Joseph Conrad does not occur to us first as an essayist.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Structure and Style: Based on Seven Modern English Essays This book is intended to supplement the study of the principles of Rhetoric by a systematic analysis of several pieces of modern English prose. It may be used in connection with any standard text-book on Rhetoric, but is specially designed to follow Professor Carpenter's Exercises in Rhetoric and English Composition (Macmillan), the terminology of which has, to some extent, been adopted, and to which many references have been made. The present volume furnishes a basis for the work which frequently comes in the second half of the Freshman year in college, and is introductory to the detailed study of the methods of composition which is often carried on in the Sophomore year; but it may also be used in schools and academies, especially by such students as do not purpose to pursue a college course. The essays have been carefully chosen with the following ends in view: (1) that they should, so far as possible, be complete essays or chapters, not mere selections; (2) that they should be good literature; (3) that they should be modern pieces, interesting to the student, and suitable as models.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great English Novelists, Vol. 2: With Introductory Essays and Notes The methods adopted by the great writers who I preceded Scott were tentative and exmrimcntal Scott gave the modern novel its organic form. He endowed it with epic vigor, made it vivid with narrative lucidity, and gave it the form Of a history full Of keen characterization and dramatic impulse. In his hands it became an instru ment Of extraordinary exibility, capable Of all moods. It superseded the drama as a mirror of life, and challenged poetry itself as an interpretation of the emotions. He determined its form, and all subsequent writers are his debtors, however far they may be removed from Scott in his peculiar gift Of romanticism.
