Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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. But experience is a fine aperitive to the mind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays Modern "Fuss' io pur ui! C' a tal fortuna nato Per l' aspro esilio suo, on la virtue, Dare' del mondo il piu felice stato." Michael Angelo. The Risorgimento, or Resurrection of Italy, one of the noblest themes which our century has offered, still awaits the philosophic historian. The writings of the friends or disciples of one or other of the three leading characters in the great drama introduce the reader into a world of contradictions more befitting a solar myth than a serious history. Grave biographies have been written of Cavour as the regenerator of Italy, in which Mazzini is mentioned only with an incidental sneer. Noble poems have been dedicated to Mazzini as the regenerator of Italy, in which Cavour is not mentioned at all. And there is a whole Garibaldian literature in which Mazzini stands quite in the background, while Cavour plays indeed a prominent part, only he is no longer the hero but the villain of the tale.

Setting aside the mere dross of circumstances in human life, why not vivify all amidst which we live and move by trans lating sense into spirit, and spirit into sense, thus rendering opaque things luminous, so that if no pure white light of truth can reach us, at least each step we tread may be impregnated with the stains and dyes of those coloured morsels of glass, so deftlyar ranged, through which such light as we are able to endure has its access to our eyes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative Essays in Modern Thought: A Basis for Composition IN presenting this 'volume to teachers of English composi tion, the editors realize that it can hardly fail to suffer from the suspicion of novelty which confronts new publications in a conservative educational field. It is hoped, however, that ini tial distrust of the book because of its novelty will not outlive a fair trial of the methods and materials which it offers. This hope is based upon successful experiment with much of the sub stance oi the volume among students as varied and as cosmo politan as the undergraduates in Columbia College, and upon the generous and often enthusiastic support that the underlying idea has received from prominent educators throughout the country who have had occasion to pass judgment upon its value.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poetry and Prose: Being Essays on Modern English Poetry This little book is an attempt to make a little clearer what every one feels about poetry.

There is the further personal advantage that in dealing with a body of poetry so often analysed, the liability to individual caprice is, at least in part, eliminated.
