Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Michel De Montaigne All dates of writings given are those of first publication, unless otherwise stated. The date, 1580 - 1588 - 1595, refers to three successive edi tions of the Essays. The titles of books and other writings have been translated into English, ex cept in cases where translation would be mislead ing; but the original French titles follow the translated titles in parentheses, the first time each occurs. I have endeavoured as far as possible to go to the sources, but my chief source has been the Essays themselves. I have interwoven them with my narrative in many places. The Bibliography, derived. Almost exclusively from books on my own shelves, may assure the reader that I have not written without much preparatory study. What ever its merits or defects may be, I believe it would' not be presumptuous to say of this volume Montaigne's word: C'est icy un Livre de bonne foy, Lecteur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Montaigne and Shakspere For a good many years past the anatomic study of Shakspere, of which a revival seems now on foot, has been somewhat out of fashion, as compared with its vogue in the palmy days of the New Shakspere Society in England, and the years of the battle between the iconoclasts and the worshipers in Germany. When Mr. Fleay and Mr. Spedding were hard at work on the metrical tests; when Mr. Spedding was subtly undoing the chronological psychology of Dr. Furnivall; when the latter student was on his part undoing in quite another style some of the judgments of Mr. Swinburne; and when Mr. Halliwell-Phillipps was with natural wrath calling on Mr. Browning, as President of the Society; to keep Dr. Furnivall in order, we (then) younger onlookers felt that literary history was verily being made.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Writings of Montaigne: And Other Papers The writings of Montaigne prior to his Essa 's have been but little studied, yet they are of inter est in themselves, and of still greater interest from containing, to some extent, indications of the origin of thoughts that are developed in the Essays, and from affording information as to various influences that affected their author's mind through life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Montaigne: A Study Montaigne is one of those perennial sources of mental health which there needs no excuse for returning. He is always necessary and always being rediscovered. Perhaps his grand sincerity, fullness, and truth of matter, his absolute freedom from affectation of manner, are of special cathartic value for an age in which these qualities are not conspicuous. Perhaps Montaigne with his hatred for the lie, his detestation of show and sham, his fearless frankness, might help us to a quicker instinct for honesty, a readier detection of the vulpine and the vain. Even if we must echo with a sigh his own doubt whether true opinions are always the most convenient for man, yet never was it well with him who consciously withheld his worship from that altar - few are they who will not profit by sharing Montaigne's noble passion for the truth.

Download or read book Montaigne written by Alexander Vinet and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Montaigne: The Endless Study, and Other Miscellanies Those acquainted with a volume of Vinet's Essays and Discourses published by the translator a few years ago, but now out of print, under the title of Vital Christianity, will readily discover, in a modified form, some portions of that work in the present, particularly in the Introduction and in the latter part of the volume. Circumstances, over which the editor had no control, left him only this method of preserving for the use of the public, any part of that work, which was received with unusual cordiality, and served to introduce Vinet to American readers. The present volume, we think, will be found to possess a still higher interest and value, as it contains some of the finest things that Vinet wrote, and on themes of the highest moment. An apology, perhaps, is due from the translator for presuming to mingle his thoughts and explanations with the productions of such an author, in the form of Introduction, notes, and so forth. But the candid reader will allow, that as every author writes under pecuhar circumstances, and with a view to certain readers, his works may not be so well adapted to another sphere and another class of readers. This, we think, will be found peculiarly the case with the works of Vinet, who wrote chiefly for the benefit of Swiss, French, and German readers, and who mingles in all his productions allusions and references to matters, literary, religious, and philosophical, with which comparatively few American or English readers are supposed to be familiar. Our aim has been, so to translate and so to edit the following work, that it may be really useful to general readers, and thus subserve the great end for which its devout and eloquent author lived and died.

Download or read book From Montaigne to Moliere Or the Preparation for the Classical Age of French Literature Classic Reprint written by Arthur Tilley and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Montaigne to Moliere or the Preparation for the Classical Age, of French Literature The change which came over English poetry between the death of Shakespeare and the appearance of Pope has been traced by Mr Gosse in his well-known volume From Shakespeare to Pope. The similar change from a literature of imagination to a literature of reason which took place in France between the death of Montaigne and the production of Moliere's Les Precieuses Ridicules, or, in other words, the transition from the Renaissance to the Classical Age, is the subject of the following pages. I have not attempted to write a complete history of French literature during this period, but rather to give an account of the various forces, political, religious, social, and literary, which helped to bring about this change. Even in those chapters which deal exclusively with the literary forces, such as those on Malherbe and Corneille, there will be found nothing like a complete critical estimate of the writers. The chapter on the Catholic revival is a sketch, necessarily brief and imperfect, of a large and important subject, which still awaits its historian. The chapter entitled "The Reign of Bad Taste" deals with matters which are still the subject of considerable controversy - namely, the origin of preciosite and the influence of Italy and Spain.

We find the younger Marius one while a son of Mars, and another a son of Venus. Pope Boniface VIII. entered, it is said, into his Papacy like a fox, behaved himself in it like a lion, and died like a dog; and who could believe it to be the same Nero, the perfect image of all cruelty, who, having the sentence of a condemned man brought to him to sign, as was the custom, cried out, "O, that I had never been taught to write!"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Montaigne and Education of the Judgment Everything has been said regarding Montaigne, and to wish to speak of him again requires some boldness. Yet it is impossible to deny him, in our gallery of "Pioneers in Education," the place to which he has a right. No doubt he gave us only a sketch. He did not go deeply into the problem of education; but he was full of its importance, and reverts to it continually in many a chapter of the Essays. He is in no way a dogmatic theorist. In all things he is a dilettante. He idled along through the world of ideas, with the marvellous resources of his erudition, with the impulsive raciness of a keen and original mind. He "tickled" himself, as he says, with his imaginings. But in the matter of education he shows unaccustomed gravity, and this is certainly the subject on which he varied least. On how many pedagogical questions has he not left some deep or epigrammatic utterance, and of quite modern tendency?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of Montaigne: Some Thoughts and Expressions Similar to Those in His Essays The examination of the influence of Montaigne that may be traced in French and English literature which I entered upon in a preceding volume 1 is here continued. But the following illustrations of it are much vaguer in character than the previous ones. Indeed the reader may often feel that it is not precisely the individual spirit of Montaigne finding fresh expression that is perceived; for with his spirit is blended that of later ages, which while re-thinking Montaigne's thoughts have developed them more fully than it was possible for him to do.
