Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs and Poems of the South The Poetry of a country should be a faithful expression of its physical and moral characteristics. The imagery, at least, should be drawn from the indigenous objects of the region, and the sentiments be such as naturally arise under the influence of its climate, its institutions, habits of life, and social condition. Verse, so fashioned and colored, is as much the genuine product and growth of a Land, as its trees or flowers. It partakes of the raciness of the soil, the purity of the atmosphere, the brilliancy of its skies, its mountain pictures, and its broad sweeps of level and undulating territory. The Scenery infuses itself into the Song; and the feelings and fancies are modulated by the circumstances amid which they had their birth. These opinions have formed the poetic Faith of the writer of the present volume. He has not attempted to sing in a mere spirit of imitativeness, or in the tropes and metaphors of foreign Art and Precedent. Gazing upon the delightful Land about him - the Land of his birth and affections - he has endeavored to depict its beauties, - to weave its illustrative objects into the tissues of his imagination, and to give utterance to the thoughts and emotions congenial to a mind impressed by such associations, and loving at once the Patriotic and the Beautiful. For this reason, the writer has felt warranted in styling the contents of the present volume, "Songs and Poems of the South." If they possess any merit, it is in their fidelity to the principles just declared. But the writer is still well aware of their deficiency, even in that respect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South in Prose and Poetry For a long time the literature of the South was neglected, or, perhaps, it is nearer the truth to say that it was ignored. Thomas Nelson Page, in a speech some years ago, stated that the rest of the world looked upon the South as a section of the United States without a literature, and the Encyclopaedia Britannica, an authority throughout the world, published an arraignment far more scathing than this. We of the South have no one to blame for this condition of affairs but ourselves. It is only natural that, if we did not seem to place a proper value upon our own writers, no other section was going to herald their fame except where the overwhelming force of genius compelled it. We can but take the form of the mold in which we are cast. Our range of vision is limited by our horizon, and unless that horizon is lifted our field of vision will always remain the same. To those whose knowledge of American literature has been acquired merely from text-books written by men who have given scant space to the authors of the South, it is, in spite of its truth, an astonishing fact that Simms ranks only second to Hawthorne; that Poe surpasses all the other of our poets; that Calhoun was our most profound logician, and Maury the greatest American scientist of his day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Centuries of Southern Poetry: 1607-1907 Within the last decade the interest in Southern literature has become widespread. Nearly every Southern college and university now offers a course in the subject, and the summer schools and Chautauquas frequently make it a special feature. All this is as it should be. There are Southern writers scarce ly known by name to-day who are deserving of careful atten tion. Especially is this true among the Southern poets, who, amidst prosperity and adversity, have sung songs of gladness and of sorrow that stand among the finest productions in American literature. How few of them are intimately, lov ingly known at the present day! This collection is made in the hope that still further in terest may be aroused. Other collections have been made, but they have dealt almost entirely With the poets living in the first sixty years of the nineteenth century. In the present compilation specimens are given from three centuries of Southern verse - from 1607 to 1907. Because of this fact the book, it is hoped, will be of interest not only to students of literature, but also to students of history and to lovers of the old and curious in general.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Poems Selected, Arranged and Edited: With Biographical Notes These poems are selected from the wide range of Southern poetry, that the South's contribution to our national literature may be in part apprehended. For a long time the productions of Southern writers were so inaccessible that authors Of text-books on American Literature were disposed to neglect them altogether; and even later the admission of any Southern author, save one or two of international fame, was somewhat grudging and apologetic. In recent years, especially since the publication of the Library of Southern Literature, by which a new perspective for American literature was afforded, fuller treatment has been accorded these Southern authors; but very few stu dents1 of American literature have yet comprehended clearly and fully that, for some periods of our literary history and in some significant and far-reaching move ments, literature in the South has been the dominant and controlling factor.

Download or read book Southern Prose and Poetry for Schools Classic Reprint written by Edwin Mims and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Prose and Poetry for Schools The principal purpose of this collection is to inspire the youth of the South to a more earnest and intelligent study of the literature of that section. For various reasons the Southern student know less of his own literature than he does of any other. One rarely hears of the study of a Southern author in a Southern high school or grammar school. Without diminishing the effort devoted to the study of American literature, and with no intention of sectional glorification, our boys and girls should begin to acquaint themselves with some of the finer spirits who have endeavored to record in beautiful language the emotional experiences peculiar to the section in which they dwell. The definite task undertaken in this volume, therefore, is to provide students with a convenient introduction to the work of Southern writers. Because the literature of the South is a part of the Nation's literature, it is believed that these stories and poems will be studied with profit and pleasure by students from all sections of our country. The book is intended primarily for schools. Te exact position in the curriculum it shall occupy is left to the judgement of school officials. Intellectual aptitudes and previous training vary so greatly among different groups of students and in different sections that the editors do not care to decide the definite place in a system of schools for such a collection.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Uncle Isaac; Or Old Days in the South: A Remembrance of the South One morning toward the summer of 1865, a lady sent her card into the private office of a well-to-do New York gentleman. She was admitted. The gentleman, after courteously receiving her, asked to what he owed the honor of the call. She replied, that she was a Southern lady in some distress, and had called to solicit his assistance. Through the devastation incident upon the war, just closed, she added, she had been left with a plantation, but without seed or implements or mules, or money to purchase these necessary articles of equipment, and with no other possible source of sup port. Could she procure five hundred dollars, she was quite sure that she could make the plantation yield an income sufficient for the maintenance of her family, the payment of the interest, and presently for the liquidation of the debt. She then requested of him the loan of the five hundred dollars. In utter astonishment at her request, he said: Why, madam, I do not know you at all. I know that, she replied. Have you any security to offer me? None, sir, she said. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Southern Poems of the War IN the beginning of the war I conceived the design of collecting and preserving the various War Poems which (born of the excited state of the public mind) then inundated our newspapers. For a time I carried out this intention, but a very busy life soon obliged me to relinquish it; so that I am indebted to the kindness of friends for most of the later Poems in this collection. Travelling since the war through many portions of the South, I have heard everywhere the wish expressed that these Poems should be collected and published in a form so cheap as to be accessible to all. This desire I have endeavored to fulfil. Besides a Memorial volume, to preserve these songs, expres sive of the hopes and triumphs and sorrows of a lost cause, I have another design - to aid by its sale the Education of the Daughters of our desolate land to fit a certain number for Teachers, that they may take to their homes and Spread among the different Southern States the knowledge of those accomplishments which else may be denied them.

The routine of military school life became more and more distasteful to him, until at length he deliberately brought about his expulsion by neglect Of such duties as roll call and guard duty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative Southern Poets To the scholarly and philosophic mind of Dr. Samuel Johnson we owe the wise saying that "the chief glory of every people arises from its authors." Of course he meant authors whose works represent, and are genuine and direct forces in, the development and conservation of ethical and intellectual virtues in the world; he referred to writers who help civilization in the achievement of whatever is best, truest, and most beautiful that the hand of man can give form to, or the soul can reach and transmute out of the Ideal into the Real. Nothing can be of higher value or worthier of praise and admiration than the power and majesty of thought, vitalized by wisdom from heavenly sources and glowing with the inspiration of genius. Thoughts, finding expression in words arranged in harmonious order, embellished with the graces of language, and permanently embodied in the form of books, are things that do not die. They transmit themselves from age to age, and posterity prizes them as a heritage of inestimable worth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scraps of Song and Southern Scenes In placing before the public this little volume, I feel that I am appealing to an audience whose sympathies are already mine. Yet, if the full measure of my anticipations be not wholly realized, I shall still feel that the world has been so kind and generous to me, that I can well afford to submit uncomplainingly to a light reproof now and then. Should these little emanations of my intellect meet with favor in the eyes of those for whose pleasure they are written, and should they touch a responsive chord in the hearts of those among whom my life has been passed, and to whom every sympathy of my soul goes out in fond endearment; then shall I feel that I have not written in vain of the melody and memory of my old plantation home.
