Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Victorian Age in Literature A section of a long and splendid literature can be most conveniently treated in one of two ways. It can be divided as one cuts a currant cake or a Gruyere cheese, taking the currants (or the holes) as they come. Or it can be divided as one cuts wood - along the grain: if one thinks that there is a grain. But the two are never the same: the names never come in the same order in actual time as they come in any serious study of a spirit or a tendency.

Download or read book The Masters of Victorian Literature written by Richard D. Graham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Masters of Victorian Literature: 1837-1897 The following pages have been written chiefly for the younger students of English Literature. Existing works on this subject usually st0p at the threshold of our own time, but the interest of young students, so far from ending there, is strongly attracted towards the authors of to-day. To gratify their natural curiosity, and especially to foster in them a taste for what is beautiful, and of permanent value in the literature of the Victorian era, is the aim which the author has had in view. No scheme of ex amination has been present to his thoughts in writing. At the same time he has made ample use of facts, and even of dates, in connection with the per sonal element in the literature of the period, and has sought to show into what setting of circumstances in the life-history of the writer himself, the works of his genius are to be fitted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Victorian Literature An attempt has been made to present the principal authors of the period not merely as writers but as men; and for this reason it will be found that the biographical element is somewhat more copious than it usually is in similar books. The purely critical element has, of course, been correspondingly curtailed. The writers have made their choice deliberately, under the conviction that the surest way to awaken the interest of beginners, and especially of such as are young in years, is to touch the note of personality.

Download or read book Victorian Literature written by Clement K. Shorter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Victorian Literature: Sixty Years of Books and Bookmen In history, we in England have read Prescott and Motley; in poetry we have read Walt Whit man, William Cullen Bryant, John Greenleaf Whittier, and, above all, James Russell Lowell, who endeared himself to us alike as a poet, a critic, and in his own person when he represented the United States at the Court of St James's. Lastly I recall the delight with which as a boy I read the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, and the joy with which as a man I visited the author, Dr Oliver Wendell Holmes, in his pleasant study in Beacon Street, Boston. These and many other writers have made America and the Americans very dear to Englishmen, and this in spite of much wild and foolish talk in the journals of the two countries.

Download or read book Victorian Novelists Classic Reprint written by James Oliphant and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Victorian Novelists This volume is based on material originally prepared for a course of lectures, and is intended to appeal rather to the general reader than to the expert in literary criticism. It makes no claim, moreover, to historical completeness, many excellent writers of fiction being unmentioned. It was thought that the purpose of illus trating the outstanding features of the English novel during the period of its most noteworthy development could best be fulfilled by the selection of a few repre sentative' authors whose work was specially significant. While the treatment is mainly critical, reference is made to biographical facts where these are available, and where it seemed that light could thus be thrown on the character of the writer's work. In the case of the older novelists, where authoritative criticisms were available, they have been taken into account. In the treatment of contemporary fiction the stand-point has naturally been more independent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Victorian Age of English Literature Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Margaret Wilson Oliphant and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Victorian Age of English Literature, Vol. 1 of 2 Since these lines were written, we, and we may say all the English-speaking portions of the world, have sustained a loss greater than has been felt since Scott fell, like a great tower, changing the very perspective and proportions of the national landscape. Lord Tennyson has departed from among us full of years and honours so long ours that we dared not wish to detain him, yet so much a part of all the noblest thoughts and hopes which he has inspired, in patriotism, in religion, in song, that it seemed almost impossible he should die. He has gone in a noble tranquillity and faith which is one of the greatest lessons he has ever given to the country he so much loved: and his death puts back this record almost as by the end of the epoch which it treats. Other names less important have also vanished from the lists of living men between the writing and the printing of these annals. The reader will understand that this makes no difference to the estimate and criticism undertaken here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Victorian Publishing written by Alexis Weedon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on research into the book-production records of twelve publishers-including George Bell & Son, Richard Bentley, William Blackwood, Chatto & Windus, Oliver & Boyd, Macmillan, and the book printers William Clowes and T&A Constable - taken at ten-year intervals from 1836 to 1916, this book interprets broad trends in the growth and diversity of book publishing in Victorian Britain. Chapters explore the significance of the export trade to the colonies and the rising importance of towns outside London as centres of publishing; the influence of technological change in increasing the variety and quantity of books; and how the business practice of literary publishing developed to expand the market for British and American authors. The book takes examples from the purchase and sale of popular fiction by Ouida, Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Ewing, and canonical authors such as George Eliot, Wilkie Collins, and Mark Twain. Consideration of the unique demands of the educational market complements the focus on fiction, as readers, arithmetic books, music, geography, science textbooks, and Greek and Latin classics became a staple for an increasing number of publishing houses wishing to spread the risk of novel publication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beautiful Stories About Children Charles Dickens was'one of the greatest among the many story-writers of the Victorian age; that 18, the middle and latter part of the Nine teenth Century, when Victoria was Queen of Great Britain. Perhaps he was the greatest of them all for now, a generation after he passed away, more people read the stories of Dickens than those by any other author of that period. In those wonderful writings are found many pic tures of child-life connected with the plan of the novels or stories. These child-stories have been taken out of their connections and are told by themselves in this volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Corrected Impressions: Essays on Victorian Writers These Critical Notes differ a little in scheme and aim from anything that their writer has hitherto attempted. The shape which they take was partly suggested, as is observed in one of them, by some remarks of Mr. A. J. Balfour's at the Literary Fund Dinner of 1893, in London. It occurred to me then that a kind of foreshortened review of the impressions, and the corrections of them, which the great Victorian writers had produced or undergone in my own case during the last thirty years might not be an absolutely uninteresting sample of "how it has struck a contemporary."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Of English Literature in the Reign of Victoria: With a Glance at the Past When Baron Tauchnitz asked me to write this little book, of which the design is his, he also wished me to include in it some record of the Literature of America. But the stability due to sustained earnestness of purpose in the publisher, and wide use by the public of the series of books now numbering two thou sand, will give opportunity for other volumes that commemorate stages of progress. Baron Tauchnitz therefore cordially agreed to a suggestion that the kindred Literature of America, though we are proud in England to claim closest brotherhood with our fellow countrymen of the United States, has a distinct interest of its own, large enough for the whole subject of another memorial volume, and that an American author would best tell the story of its rise and progress. Let me be permitted to add of the Tauchnitz Collection, that I know no English writer who would not now be ready to congratulate its founder upon his success thus far in joining care for the higher interests of Literature with the diffusion of much healthy intellectual amusement. Writers as well as readers wish God Speed to the continuation of his work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
