Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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. It is an attempt pursued in a number of essays upon themes so familiar that in writing upon them I have the advantage of touching directly upon the actual poetical experience of almost every reader. 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.

Download or read book Poems and Prose written by Gerard Manley Hopkins and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his poetry Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844 89) sought to discover afresh the potentialities of language, and to that end developed his idiosyncratic theories of instress, inscape and sprung rhythm. Hopkins's verse is also informed by his religious beliefs; having converted to the Roman Catholic Church in 1866, he became a Jesuit priest eleven years later. However, his poetry is free from a sense of religious dogma, and instead offers a whole hearted involvement with all aspects of life, a love of nature and a search for a unifying sacramental view of creation. His best known poems include 'The Wreck of the Deutschland', 'The Windhover', 'Pied Beauty', 'Spring and Fall', 'Carrion Comfort' and 'Harry Ploughman'.

Download or read book Selected Essays Poems and Other Writings written by A. S. Byatt and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-04-07 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The works collected in this volume provide an illuminating introduction to George Eliot's incisive views on religion, art and science, and the nature and purpose of fiction. Essays such as 'Evangelical Teaching' show her rejecting her earlier religious beliefs, while 'Woman in France' questions conventional ideas about female virtues and marriage, and 'Notes on Form in Art' sets out theories of idealism and realism that she developed further in Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda. It also includes selections from Eliot's translations of works by Strauss and Feuerbach that challenged many ideas about Christianity; excerpts from her poems; and reviews of writers such as Wollstonecraft, Goethe and Browning. Wonderfully rich in imagery and observations, these pieces reveal the intellectual development of this most challenging and rewarding of writers.
Download or read book Poems Essays and Fragments Classic Reprint written by James Thomson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems, Essays and Fragments The works of James Thomson the Second, who still needs to be distinguished from his little-read namesake by his pen-name initials of B. V have thus far had a success of esteem rather than a success of popularity. Popular, indeed, they are not likely ever to be: neither his pessi mism nor his criticism ministers enough to the normal judgment to win him a large audience. But some addition there must be, year by year, to the audience for his most remarkable work; and among these there must be some to whom it will be a matter of course that all the literary work of a man of literary genius is interesting. For such readers the present collection has been compiled. It consists almost entirely of verse and prose contributed by Thomson to the National Reformer before 1875, or communicated by his literary executor to its columns during the past year or two. The exceptions are the Sergeants' mess-song, which has been communicated by Mr. Bertram Dobell, three other poems accounted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prose and Poetry On Reading Newman,2 which purports to do nothing more than give the reader a sense of whereabouts amid Newman's many writ ings, but does a great deal more than that. Tristram was one of the most devoted, learned and wise Of Newman scholars - there is no one yet to fill the gap he has left - but I cannot help feeling that his interest in Newman's Catholicism depressed Newman for him as a writer. In that essay he makes one misvaluation, as it seems to me, which strikes at Newman's literary credentials. I shall concern myself with it later on. Everybody agrees that Newman had many dazzling gifts. He was a distinguished holder of several public offices. He was a priest and so looked up to as an example in point Of piety, learning and morality. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Short Day s Work written by Monica Peveril Turnbull and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Day's Work: Original Verses, Translations, From Heine, and Prose Essays Brought up amidst the hills and valleys and grey mists of Derbyshire, her love of home and country was deep and constraining; and, at a time when a removal to the South of England was in contemplation, she wrote, while staying at the temporary Sussex home, many childish verses descriptive of the scenes amid which she had lived, summing up her love in the following lines: - "I doubt not this place be fair and bright, With its southern moor, and bright sun-light, But my heart still loveth best to roam Mong the smooth green hills of my Derbyshire home." Among those hills she lived, in good comradeship with young friends growing up around her, and in close and happy communion with her parents and only sister - the sister "lovely and beloved," with whom every pleasure and pain was shared. To many who knew them it will be impossible to think of the two sisters apart. Always together as children in the nursery and the schoolroom, they were a happy pair; and though when grown up their different tastes led to some divergence in pursuits, this diversity fostered rather than impaired that intimate companionship which in their lives suffered no break. And in their death, save for a few short weeks, they were not divided. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Poems and Prose written by Christina Rossetti and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-10-09 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The mystery of Life, the mystery Of Death, I see Darkly as in a glass...' Christina Rossetti (1830-94) is perhaps the most contradictory of the great Victorian poets. She writes of the world's beauty, but fears that it may be deceptive, even deadly. She is a religious poet, but much of her work is driven by uncertainty. Her poems are restrained, even secretive, but they seek nothing less than the mystery of Life and Death. This edition contains Rossetti's strongest and most distinctive work: poetry (including 'Goblin Market', 'The Prince's Progress', and the sonnet sequence 'Monna Innominata'), stories (including the complete text of Maude), devotional prose (with nearly fifty entries from the 'reading diary' Times Flies), and personal letters. Those poems which Rossetti published, and those which she withheld from publication, are here brought together in chronological order, allowing the reader to observe her poetic trajectory. This edition also records the major revisions made by Rossetti when preparing her poems for publication. It brings together the fullest range of Rossetti's poetry and prose in one volume, and is an indispensable introduction to this entrancing writer. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
Download or read book English Prose written by Frederick William Roe and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Prose: A Series of Related Essays for the Discussion and Practice of the Art of Writing They have therefore aimed to present a series of related selections that would arouse thought and provoke oral discussion in the class-room, as well as furnish suitable models of style. In most cases the pieces are too long to be adequately handled in one class hour. A live topic may well be discussed for several hours, until its various sides have been examined and students are awakened to the many questions at issue. The editors have aimed, also, to supply selections so rich and vital in content that instructors themselves will feel challenged to add to the class discussion from their own knowledge and experience, and so turn a stream of fresh ideas upon "stock notions." Thus English composition, which in many courses in our larger institutions is now almost the only non-special study, can be made a direct means of liberalization in the meaning and art of life, as well as an instrument for correct and effective writing. The present volume therefore differs from others in the same field. Many recent collections contain pieces too short and unrelated to satisfy the ideals suggested above - ideals which, the editors feel sure, are held by an increasing number of teachers. And older and newer collections alike have been constructed primarily with the purpose of illustrating the conventional categories, - description, narration, exposition. Teachers of composition everywhere are becoming distrustful of an arrangement which is frankly at variance with the actual practice of writing, and are of the opinion that it is better to set the student to the task of composition without confining him too narrowly to one form of discourse. The editors have deliberately avoided, however, the other extreme, which is reflected in one or two recent volumes, of choosing pieces of one type to the exclusion of all others. In collections of this kind variety in form and subject-matter is fully as important as richness of content.
