Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Language Notes, Vol. 3 W'hen he 'comes to enumerate the elements ofthe utility which he claims for the modern lau guages, it is interesting to see that the lecturer places first the fact (p.5) that a knowledge of French and German doubles and trebles the library whence knowledge may be drawn; and in his analysis of method t/ze teaching of reading, he says, I put that clearly first. He says (p.26) I would always begin with a book and claims (p. 13)that for all, young or old, the eye is incomparably the swifter gate to knowledge, and it is the only means of rapidly acquiring accuracy. He insists that elementary (oral) work on lan guage should be confined to the mother tongue; and adds the important conclusion that the power of conversing in a foreign lan guage can be acquired at least as easily late as early that it is much less important than trans lation, much less important than composition, and that in learning it, at whatever age, we waste power if we proceed by ear only. Yet he does not undervalue the oflice of the ear, and adds an interesting paragraph on Dictation and Audition - that is, writing and listening from oral repetition;-but all these he holds to be subordinate to the main purpose of reading, and to the linguistic training and literary cul ture to be derived from the study of modern languages. Surely it is gratifying to see how closely the views which Mr. Colbeck repre sents are in accord with those formally enun ciated by the, Modern Language Association of America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Language Notes, Vol. 28 A recent writer dealing with the subject of negro folk-song, its social and psychological antecedents, in the course of his exposition, makes the following statement: "In the 'Downward Road is Crowded, ' a mournful picture is given of the sinner who failed to repent. His example is held up for the contemplation of those who are following in his steps. Young people who delight in sin, I tell you what I lately seen, A po' godless sinner die, And he said, 'In hell I soon'll lie!" Hark, the downward road is crowded, crowded, crowded, Yes, the downward road is crowded with onbelievin' souls. He call his mother to his bed, An' these is the dyin' words he said, 'Mother, mother, I long farewell, Your wicked son is damned in hell.' He dance an' play hisself away, An' still put off his dyin' day, Until at las' ole death was sent, An' it 'us too late fer him to repent." That this is too sophisticated even for a negro preacher, and bears moreover, too certain evidence of a literary origin, seems not to have suggested itself. There is nothing in it of the irregularity of structure and incoherence that marks genuine negro folk-songs of the type of Roll, Jordan, roll! or Swing low, sweet Chariot, evident creations out of the white heat of religious fervor, and surrounded by the atmosphere of the camp-meeting. What we have in fact, is a versified crude sermon, a homiletic discourse in ballad form. Instances of the religious, nay even of the homiletical or theological ballad, it may be stated in passing, are found even in the older strate of English folk-song, - we may cite The Cherry Tree Carol, The Carnal and the Crane, Dives and Lazarus, not to mention the lately discovered Bitter Withy. The ballad at present under discussion is doubly interesting, not only as an instance of the homiletic application of the ballad idea, but also as being one of the few attested American traditional ballads. Given a theme in its simplest form, - "young person lives a worldly life, rejects means of grace, and, dying, is numbered with the lost," familiar enough in the discourses of evangelists from the time of the Great Awakening on, - it appears that two closely similar developments of it in American balladry have taken place. We cannot fairly call them two ballads, in the sense that Baby Lon and Edward are two ballads. The one is a counterpart of the other. The material at hand may here be put in evidence. Theme: Impenitent-sinner-lost. Form I. The Downward Road. A. Lamentable Death of Polly. 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 Language Notes, Vol. 30 The Dates Of Corneille's Early Plays In dating the plays that Corneille wrote before the Cid most modern scholars have accepted conclusions of the freres Parfaict, Marty-Laveaux, and a few other writers, without thoroughly testing them with recently discovered facts concerning Corneille's contemporaries and the stage for which they wrote. The following table gives the dates assigned to the first representations of his first eight plays by the freres Parfaict, Marty-Laveaux, and Lan-son, as well as the date of each play's privilege and acheve d'imprimer. To estimate the correctness of these dates, let us turn first to the evidence given by Corneille himself. His statements as to the length of time he has been writing help us little, for in 1660 he calls this period thirty years, in 1668 forty, in 1682 fifty. They indicate merely that he began to write about 1628-1632. But he does render us valuable assistance when he states that Melite was his first play, that Clitandre was written after a visit to Paris which followed the first representations of Melite, that by March 13, 1634, he had written six plays, and that the order of the composition of his plays is that of their position in the first edition of his collected plays. From these facts it is evident that Melite and Clitandre were acted before March 8, 1632, date of the latter's privilege, that the Veuve, Galerie, Suivante, Place royale were composed in this order before March 13, 1634, and that Medee and the Illusion comique appeared before the first representation of the Cid, which took place in December, 1636, or January, 1637. These facts seem certain. Let us now consider the plays separately. 1. Melite. Fontcnelle's date, 1625, is entirely inconsistent with other dates in Corneille's career, as will appear from the following discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Language Notes, Vol. 33 The first volume of K. Ph. Moritz' Anton Reiser appeared in 1785, and while the work was highly esteemed by contemporaries, including Goethe and Schiller, an entire century elapsed before it was made accessible in a critical reprint, edited by Ludwig Geiger. Since then, a number of popular or bibliophile editions have appeared, together with a series of books and articles on Anton Reiser and on the life of Moritz. The most important of these is the book of Eybisch, which has a complete bibliography. In his introduction, Geiger noted the fact that two excerpts from Anton Reiser were published in 1784, a year before the appearance of the book itself. These extracts cover pp. 26-47 of Geiger's reprint, and correspond in the main with the later text, aside from two or three additions and a number of minor variants, recorded by Geiger on pp. viii-x. The latter, however, failed to discover a third, and still earlier fragment, which Moritz had published in the October number of the Berlinische Monatsschrift, 1783, Vol. II, pp. 357-364.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Language Notes, Vol. 8 It is significant to notice that at the very outset, so far as the literary survivals show, the Spanish and Portuguese pastoral poets were inclined to use their own countrymen as actors in their scenes. In this respect, to be sure, Boccaccio and the humanists had already set them an example. And it is also to be noted that in the Spanish pastoral the eulogy of Arcadia and of the Golden Age is wanting. This conception, peculiar to a de cadence in race and to disappointed hopes. Was cherished at that time in Italy alone, The Spaniards of the Moorish Conquest and of the Empire could not appreciate such a sentiment, and their literature remains un affected by it down through the first half of the sixteenth century; and such a vital differ ence in national environment is a sufficient ex planation for the slight influence of the Italian pastorals of the time on the Spanish. The latter belong to an earlier period, as far as their allegory is concerned, and depend rather on Vergil, Boccaccio and the Italian humanists of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.

Still he was evidently satisfied with this kind of unity in 1634, though in the next play, la Place Royale, he finds himself forced to mod ify it by putting his heroine in her own chamber during one soliloquy. The multiplex decora tion would easily admit of this, and involved no moving of scenery. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
