Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Specimens of the Classic Poets, Vol. 1: In a Chronological Series From Homer to Tryphiodorus The prejudiced notion, which has been embraced by Mickle in the preface to his translation of the Lusiad of Camoe'ns, and by Sir William Jones in his Design of an Epic Poem, that blank verse requires obsolete and foreign idioms, inversions, and swelling epithets to distinguish it as poetry, if it be countenanced by the erroneous practice of some few poets, is refuted by the example of the best blank versifiers: by Milton in his most pathe tic passages; by Akenside, in his Pleasures of Imagination, and his Inscriptions and by Armstrong, in the most elegant didactic poem which, perhaps, was ever written. Yet has Dr. Johnson dogmatically pronounced, in his Life of Somerville, that if blank verse be not tumid and gorgeous, it is crippled prose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Specimens, With Memoirs of the Less-Known British Poets, Vol. 1 of 3: With an Introductory Essay We propose to introduce our 'Specimens' by a short Essay on the Origin and Progress of English Poetry on to the days of Chaucer and of Gower. Having called, in conjunction with many other critics, Chaucer 'the Father of English Poetry, ' to seek to go back further may seem like pursuing antenatal researches. But while Chaucer was the sun, a certain glimmering dawn had gone before him, and to reflect that, is the object of the following pages. Britain, when the Romans invaded it, was a barbarous country; and although subjugated and long held by that people, they seem to have left it nearly as uncultivated and illiterate as they found it. 'No magnificent remains, ' says Macaulay, 'of Latian porches and aqueducts are to be found in Britain. No writer of British birth is to be reckoned among the masters of Latin poetry and eloquence. It is not probable that the islanders were, at any time, generally familiar with the tongue of their Italian rulers. From the Atlantic to the vicinity of the Rhine the Latin has, during many centuries, been predominant. It drove out the Celtic - it was not driven out by the Teutonic - and it is at this day the basis of the French, Spanish, and Portuguese languages. In our island the Latin appears never to have superseded the old Gaelic speech, and could not stand its ground before the German.' It was in the fifth century that that modification of the German or Teutonic speech called the Anglo-Saxon was introduced into this country.

Download or read book Specimens of Anglo Saxon Poetry Vol 1 written by William Alexander Craigie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Specimens of Anglo-Saxon Poetry, Vol. 1: Biblical and Classical Themes The matter contained in the following specimens as well as order in which these are arranged, corresponds to a great extent with the contents of the first part of the 'specimens of anglo-saxon Prose'. By a comparison of the two the student will be able to appreciate the methods of the anglo-saxon poets in the treatment of themes taken from the Old Testament and from classical sources. As the specimens are intended to be used in connexion with the study of anglo-saxon literature, and the general form in which the texts have been preserved is not original, a more normal spelling than that actually found in the manuscripts has here and there been introduced. Such alterations are neither numerous nor important, and the removal of the exceptional forms not Oulv facilitates the understanding of the text, but will help to prevent undue importance being attached to mere matters of form. As before, I am much indebted to Dr. Schmidt Petersen of Bredstedt for generous help in supervising the printing of this work.
