Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preferences in Art, Life, and Literature My first desire has been, by presenting my views upon Art and its connection with life, in various forms, and by recording in connected sequence the critical opinions expressed during many years upon English and Foreign painting, to enable the public to judge whether these views and criticisms be substantially just or no, and whether time has not, so far at all events, justified my words. Not even the bitterest critic - and some critics are very bitter - can feel more keenly than myself the imperfections of temper, haste, and form which have so frequently dis figured my periodical writing. Nor can any one resent more than I deplore the apparent indifference and scorn with which Ithave approached and censured work which has always taken labour and thought, and patient, if mis taken, skill to produce. Of old, when I considered that a picture was in a bad style of art, I habitually ignored, if I did not forget, the personal feeling of the artist.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art and Life This book seeks to trace the above general conception through art's relations with science and morals: it contends both against those who believe that poetry arises naturally out of life, as tree, flower and fruit spring from the soil, and those who hold that art, like instruction, should be addressed to the improvement of persons.

Download or read book An Historical Summary of English Literature Classic Reprint written by E. W. Edmunds and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Summary of English Literature Anything in the nature of a cram-book on English literature lays its compiler open to the charge of literary vandalism and calls for a word at least of apology. It would not be impossible to defend the cram-book, in this case as in others, if it were necessary but the idea at the back of this summary is not wholly that of conveying information in a succinct tabloid form, In regard to important individual authors it draws attention to the salient facts of their outer life, to the leading characteristics of their work and to their place in literature. N o pretence to biographical or biblio graphical completeness is made but it is hoped that no important work has been overlooked and no date of any significance omitted. Similarly no desire of original criticism has been entertained, and the compiler's personal preferences and predilections have been as far as possible held in abeyance. Hence it is hoped that the book may be a safe and reliable guide to the student, helping him in the choice of what to read and drawing his attention to those opinions and criticisms which have become, by the wear and tear of the past, standard and unassailable.

Download or read book The Triumph of Life Classic Reprint written by Wilhelm Bölsche and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Triumph of Life At the beginning of this little work it should be noted that it was originally the basis of a series of discourses delivered in the course of several evenings in the winter of 1903-4 at the Institute of Popular Natural Science In Berlin, the Urania (a creation of the gifted M. Wilhelm Meyer), and accompanied on the stage with decorative pictures and illustrations. The rich stage settings that were executed in the most effective and artistic manner, according to my suggestions by the well known and excellent artists of the Urania, Kranz & Harder, and that were the objects of warm general approbation, must naturally have strengthened the interest and made the text proper appear as explanatory of the visible picture and which without these pictures could not have been presented. Nevertheless, the wish has often been expressed to me, that the text might be printed. I have attempted to preserve the greater part of the composition, but all that was difficult to work out well in print, all that could by any possibility not be clear without the help of the illustrations, but that might appear fantastic, I have simply thrown overboard and put it into more suitable form.

Download or read book Stories of American Life and Adventure written by Edward Eggleston and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of American Life and Adventure: Third Reader Grade This book is intended to serve three main purposes. One of these is to make school reading pleasant by supplying matter simple and direct in style, and sufficiently interesting and exciting to hold the reader's attention in a state of constant wakefulness; that is, to keep the mind in the condition in which instruction can be received with the greatest advantage. A second object is to cultivate an interest in narratives of fact by selecting chiefly incidents full of action, such as are attractive to the minds of boys and girls whose pulses are yet quick with youthful life. The early establishment of a preference for stories of this sort is the most effective antidote to the prevalent vice of reading inferior fiction for mere stimulation. But the principal aim of this book is to make the reader acquainted with American life and manners in other times. The history of life has come to be esteemed of capital importance, but it finds, as yet, small place in school instruction. The stories and sketches in this book relate mainly to earlier times and to conditions very different from those of our own day. They will help the pupil to apprehend the life and spirit of our forefathers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book John Wellborn Root written by Harriet Monroe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Wellborn Root: A Study of His Life and Work We have sympathized with sorrow, - you and I and all of us. But which of us has the rarer gift of sympathy with joy? And so who will listen while I try to tell the story of a joyous life? It may be that I cannot tell it. My heart fails here at the outset of the journey, when I remember the swift grace of this man's walk through life, and resolve to stumble on where he trod with lightness. The flowers whose seeds he scattered lavishly by the wayside may wither in my hands, and my garland prove but a poor tribute. And though I could pluck and wreathe them at sunrise, and give them to immortality with the morning dews still fresh upon them, yet even then must I acknowledge that these were but the bounty of a rich nature, and that the best was never given to the world. For certain men of genius live more for life than for art, and often fate indulges this secret preference q the soul by the tribute of scant opportunity and early death. 0f such men, when they are gone, it is almost futile to speak the truth. The essence of their lives is as subtle as perfume; it passes like the song of a bird. Perhaps it would be better that none should attempt to preserve it that we should intrust it to the magnanimity of Nature, as we intrust the mysteries of color and sound, sure that, though light yield to darkness and music to silence, the glory of them will wake again and endure through innumerable changes forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in Prairie Land The following work was commenced with the intention of writing one or two brief sketches descriptive of Life at the West. And until some hundred and fifty pages were written, I never contemplated the possibility of extending them to a volume. At that point, I was so far from having said all I felt, that Ivery willingly re signed myself to the current of my feelings and wrote on. To those who read the volume first, and after ward, in some idle moment, turn back to the preface, I need not say that I have been impelled in every step by love of my theme. That will have been apparent enough to them, without any such declaration. I have loved the West, and it still claims my preference over all other portions of the earth. Its magnitude, its fertili ty, the kindliness of its climate, the variety and excellence of its productions are unrivaled in our own country, if not on the globe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lovers and Husbands: A Story of Married Life Two maidens sat in earnest conversation one quiet afternoon in October, near the window of a tasteful cottage which looked out upon a gently-declining lawn, encircled by elms that still retained their thick foliage. Beyond this lawn was a dense wood, gayly attired in its many-coloured autumn robes. The rays of the setting sun fell broad and unobstructed upon the bosom of this forest, lending to each gaudy leaf, or to the half-revealed silvery branches and trunks of the trees, a glittering lustre that dazzled the eye. "See, Flora!" said one of the maidens, suddenly interrupting their conversation, and glancing out of the window as she spoke: "is there anything in nature more beautiful than an autumn sunset?" "Nothing," returned her companion, half abstractedly, as her eyes followed the direction of her companion's. Then speaking with a sudden animation, inspired by the scene she added, "Beautiful, very beautiful! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

B: From a Variety of Original Sources Biography has been justly characterized as combining much useful instruction with a large share of amusement; and no description of it has been more popular than the lives of literary men. One of the reasons of this preference probably is, that we are naturally curious about what is more particularly considered the history of Mind; and in 'such ac counts we are often enabled to trace it in active operation while giving birth to productions that have won the admiration of mankind. Neither is the personal career of such persons without many, and sometimes uncommon vicissitudes: from their lives we turn to their writings with increased interest; and delight in contrasting perhaps the follies and weaknesses that have marked the one, with the wisdom and excellence shown in the Other.
