Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Reviews I have been asked to add a few words of preface to this volume of Reviews, written by a deceased friend and former pupil. He would have been a distinguished man if he had lived, and those who have an affection for his memory are naturally desirous that he should be known to the world as he was to them. He was taken suddenly from his family and friends in the fulness of health and strength, at a time when the difficulties of his career were over, and he was beginning to reap the harvest of success. Those who had Opportunities of judging were confident that he would soon have attained the highest honours of his profession; and his literary talents, if he had written with his name, would certainly have gained him eminence. He was always going forward, and had he been spared a few years longer would probably have done much more than he did. He often expressed to an inti mate friend the ambition which he felt to produce some permanent work, and would sketch out in conversation a book upon the principal subjects of English politics, which had long been in his thoughts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latest Literary Essays: The Old English Dramatists The publication, in a volume, of the following Essays and Addresses is in accordance with the intention of their author. Most of them had been revised by him with this end in view. The only one of them concerning which there is a doubt, whether he would have published it in its present form, is the paper on Richard III. With this he was not satisfied, and he hesitated in regard to printing it. It has seemed to me of interest enough to warrant its publication.' The Essay on Gray was in large part written more than ten years before it was printed in the New Princeton Review, in 1886. The Essay on the Areopagitica was written at the re quest of the Grolier Club, of New York, for an introduction to an edition of the work specially.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Review: January 1921 Thus for the self-respecting European of to - day there are only two forms which are really one, the first being prose, and the second I have called unrhymed cadence. The one merges into the other; there is no boundary line between them; but prose, generally, will be used for the more objective branches of writing - for novels, plays, essays, and so on cadence will be used for personal, emotional, lyric utterances, in which the phrasing goes with a stronger beat, and the words live together with an intenser flame.

Download or read book Early Reviews of English Poets Classic Reprint written by John Louis Haney and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Reviews of English Poets "Among the amusing and instructive books that remain to be written, one of the most piquant would be a history of the criticism with which the most celebrated literary productions have been greeted on their first appearance before the world." It is quite possible that when Dr. William Matthews began his essay on Curiosities of Criticism with these words, he failed to grasp the full significance of that future undertaking. Mr. Churton Collins frequently declared that "a very amusing and edifying record might be compiled partly out of a selection of the; various verdicts passed contemporaneously by reviews on particular works, and partly out of comparisons of the subsequent fortunes of works with their fortunes while submitted to this censorship." Both critics recognize the fact that such a volume would be entertaining and instructive; but, from another point of view, it would also be a somewhat doleful book. Even a reader of meagre imagination and rude sensibilities could not peruse such a volume without picturing in his mind the anguish and the heartache which those bitter and often vicious attacks inflicted upon the unfortunate victims whose works were being assailed. Authors (particularly sensitive poets) have been at all times the sport and plaything of the critics. Mrs. Oliphant, in her Literary History of England, said with much truth: "There are few things so amusing as to read a really 'slashing article' - except perhaps to write it. It is infinitely easier and gayer work than a well-weighed and serious criticism, and will always be more popular.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NYRB Classics Original Simon Leys is a Renaissance man for the era of globalization. A distinguished scholar of classical Chinese art and literature and one of the first Westerners to recognize the appalling toll of Mao’s Cultural Revolution, Leys also writes with unfailing intelligence, seriousness, and bite about European art, literature, history, and politics and is an unflinching observer of the way we live now. The Hall of Uselessness is the most extensive collection of Leys’s essays to be published to date. In it, he addresses subjects ranging from the Chinese attitude to the past to the mysteries of Belgium and Belgitude; offers portraits of André Gide and Zhou Enlai; takes on Roland Barthes and Christopher Hitchens; broods on the Cambodian genocide; reflects on the spell of the sea; and writes with keen appreciation about writers as different as Victor Hugo, Evelyn Waugh, and Georges Simenon. Throughout, The Hall of Uselessness is marked with the deep knowledge, skeptical intelligence, and passionate conviction that have made Simon Leys one of the most powerful essayists of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Essays London Review, Westminster Review, etc., to unearth these. Two that will probably have most general interest are the reviews of Tennyson's poems and Carlyle's French Revolution. That Mill him self did not think it worth while to republish these is easily comprehensible. They were written simply as reviews, and their subjects lay apart from the sociological questions which towards the end of his life mainly engaged his attention. But for that very reason they have a special interest for the student of his character; and their intrinsic merits, and the fact that in both cases they show an early and in dependent appreciation of two of the greatest English writers of the nineteenth century, will do more than justify their republication. And a similar justification will apply to the other two essays on poetry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the English Classics The purpose of this book is to stimulate, in teachers and students alike, interest in the English Classics selected for use in schools, and to suggest various methods by which these masterpieces may be profitably studied. The book embodies the actual experience of teachers in the classroom, in that the analyses of most of the volumes studied and the accompanying questions have been prepared by men and women who have themselves edited one or more of the Classics and have actually taught them. The work of these collaborators has been brought into some uniformity of method, but Without injuring, it is hoped, the suggestiveness and variety and particular method of each contributor.

Download or read book English Literature Classic Reprint written by Frederick John Rahtz and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Literature Uring the last few years the importance of English Literature in any system of education - whether Primary, Secondary, or University - has been gradually recognised. And, partly as a consequence of this recognition, there is an increasing number of older readers who desire to know a little more' about our great authors and their works. Among the many excellent works dealing with English Literature, there appears to be room for something between a mere primer on the one hand, and a long and advanced history of literature on the other. The present volume, written in a simple style with as few technicalities as possible, is designed to fill this inter mediate position. It is primarily intended for pupils in the Upper Forms of Secondary Schools, but it will be found equally suitable for the general reader. Its aim is to review in a general but critical manner the ground work of English Literature. Special attention has therefore been paid to the course of development of our literature, to the general characteristics of each period, and to the external influences which have from time to time affected its progress. The work and style of the greater authors have been discussed somewhat fully, and brief illustrative extracts from their works have been added. Lesser authors have been treated in due pro portion, care having been taken not to crowd the book with names, dates, or unimportant details. Questions have been appended to each chapter some of these are of a simple nature, whilst others are intended for those who are able to give further thought and study to the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on English Literature Matthew Arnold praised it, I think he was a little bribed, as we are all apt to be, by the fact that it was so different in form and style from his own that the two, to a certain extent, set off and set out each other. But that it needs no illegitimate or at least adventitious advantage of this kind the examples which follow will show; and I hope that the introductory essay will at least not inter fere with the presentment. When M. Scherer was approached by Mr. Reid on the subject, he said, I am told, Why should I pour my little pailful into the ocean of English literature? The meta phor was modest but not exact. I think it will be found that the pail was rather used in drawing, from no common depths, samples of that literature to be analyzed with no common science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Medieval Literature These Essays have all been printed before.

"Chaucer" (Part of a review of Mr. Skeat's edition) and the article on Mr. Macaulay's Gower are from the Quarterly Review, April 1895 and April 1903. The essay on Froissart (and on his English translator) was written at the request of Mr. W. E. Henley for the new edition of Lord Berners - The Cronykle of Syr John Froissart - in the Tudor Translations (Nutt, 1901-3).
