I do not affirm that the writers treated represent completely the work of women in fiction to-day; I would not assert, dogmatically, that theirs is even the best contemporary work: I have no desire to anticipate the judgment of posterity.

Download or read book Pen Pencil and Poison written by Oscar Wilde and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2022-04-06 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Pen, Pencil, and Poison’ is one of Wilde’s most intriguing essays. Part biography, part social commentary, and part philosophical debate, he writes the biography of an art critic, who was also convicted of murder. However, in true Wildean style, there’s more to the essay than meets the eye. While documenting the life and crimes of Thomas Griffiths Wainwright, Wilde explores the ideas of dual identity, sin in the formation of the personality, and the relationship between crime and culture. ‘Pen, Pencil, and Poison’ is a fascinating insight into some of the conventions of the time. Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900) was an Irish novelist, poet, playwright, and wit. He was an advocate of the Aesthetic movement, which extolled the virtues of art for the sake of art. During his career, Wilde wrote nine plays, including ‘The Importance of Being Earnest,’ ‘Lady Windermere’s Fan,’ and ‘A Woman of No Importance,’ many of which are still performed today. His only novel, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ was adapted for the silver screen, in the film, ‘Dorian Gray,’ starring Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. In addition, Wilde wrote 43 poems, and seven essays. His life was the subject of a film, starring Stephen Fry.

Download or read book Early Editions written by J. H. Slater and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Editions: A Bibliographical Survey of the Works of Some Popular Modern Authors If there be a fashion in acquisitiveness, there is little doubt that books of the kind mentioned in the following pages are collected mainly in accordance with its dictates. Early in the century it was the classics - Latin or Greek - and other scholarly volumes that chiefly attracted the book-man, just as in remoter times the ponderous commentaries of the Fathers held almost undisputed sway over his fancy. To say why a man should delight in accumulating books, would be no more difficult than to assign a reason for any other preference, foolish or the reverse, that he might have; but why first or early editions should be accounted more desirable than later ones, is not always so easy to explain. A late edition may, and in some cases should, be more complete than an earlier one; the errors in the first may be corrected in the second; additions, in the form of notes or otherwise, may have been made; yet notwithstanding these advantages it not unfrequently happens that the comparatively imperfect edition is the more sought after of the two. Legitimately speaking, its value should be confined to the opportunity of comparison afforded to the student, enabling him to note textual differences, and thus, as it were, to follow the author through the maze of his thoughts and the development of his genius.

Download or read book A Modern Instance written by William Dean Howells and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Modern Instance: A Novel The village stood on a wide plain, and around it rose the mountains. They were green to their tops in summer, and in winter white through their serried pines and drifting mists, but at every season serious and beautiful, furrowed with hollow shadows, and taking the light on masses and stretches of iron-gray crag. The river swam through the plain in long curves, and slipped away at last through an unseen pass to the southward, tracing a score of miles in its course over a space that measured but three or four. The plain was very fertile, and its features, if few and of purely utilitarian beauty, had a rich luxuriance, and there was a tropical riot of vegetation when the sun of July beat on those northern fields. They waved with com and oats to the feet of the mountains, and the potatoes covered a vast acreage with the lines of their intense, coarse green; the meadows were deep with English grass to the banks of the river, that, doubling and returning upon itself, still marked its way with a dense fringe of alders and white birches. But winter was full half the year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Highbrows written by C. E. M. Joad and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Highbrows: A Modern Novel This book is dedicated to all those who will think it immature, which of course it is, and will deny that it is a novel, which equally of course it isn't. At the same time, it is a sufficiently near approximation to a modern novel to be pardonably mistaken for one. It makes no pretence at plot; the incidents are few and sketchy; the characters are mere puppets for the writer to hang his polemical hat on; while the conversation is perhaps hardly so brilliant as frequent. There is no continuity, and no sequence of incident. Instead, we have moralizing essays, rhetorical exercises, and didactic discussions - sufficient to justify the suggestion that the author regards his novel as a sort of dust-bin into which to shoot his refuse ideas - and the cinematographic impressions of a young man who looks at the world, and relies upon the stores of reminiscence instead of upon the play of imagination when he comes to write his novel. The young man is as modern as the novel: just too clever to qualify for the ecclesiastical or educational professions, he is not clever enough to make a novelist; too artistic in temperament to be a successful man of the world, he lacks the creative faculty of the artist.
