Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Literature Part II consists of a brief survey of English literature with assigned readings from the literature itself. Much study about authors whose books the student has never read is of doubt ful utility. A wiser plan is to use a very brief account of the literature in connection with a considerable amount of reading in the literature itself arranged chronologically. In studying Part II, therefore, emphasis should be placed upon the sug gested readings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six French Poets: Studies in Contemporary Literature IN the Spring Of 1914, I was invited to deliver a series of lectures on modern French poetry in Boston during the following winter. This book consists of those lec tures, rewritten and arranged for the press. It is a strange thing that while so many Americans and English repair every year to France, SO few Of them, in either country, realized What a serious and self-sacri ficing people the French were making Of themselves, before the present war brought the fact to their notice. TO students Of French literature, this was no matter for surprise. They understood that the earnest and single minded endeavour applied to the arts must have its counterpart in other branches Of the national life. That this was the case, is now abundantly proved. We, in the English-speaking countries, are asking ourselves how we could have so misunderstood the French people. But to be misunderstood has been the lot Of Frenchmen when dealing with anglo-saxons from time immemorial.

Download or read book Studies in Spanish American Literature Classic Reprint written by Isaac Goldberg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Spanish-American Literature The purpose of the present volume is to introduce to Eng lish readers a continental culture that they have too long neglected. Not that we have been alone in our neglect; Spain itself, the mother nation of Spanish America's grow ing republics, has until very recently ignored the letters of its numerous offspring. Owing to the meager acquaintance that our reading pub lic has with spanish-american literature, a book of purely critical essays is at this time inadvisable; I have, there fore, in the following chapters, greely mingled excerpts, exposition and a modicum of criticism, in the hope of thus providing an incentive for further delving into the authors and the books commented upon. Whatever criticism I have written has been determined by a flexible attitude, I have sought to suggest rather than to define.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Studies in Literature That these brief chapters may prove helpful to readers of books who desire to become students of literature, is the hope which the writer ventures to cherish in the face of defects more obvious to him than to the most unsympathetic critic. These studies are not critical but interpretative; they are neither exhaustive nor inclusive; they are mainly hints and suggestions. Each chapter might be elaborated into a volume. If they serve to indicate the leading lines of literary development, the fundamental divisions and distinctions, the deep and vital tendencies, they will accomplish the end for which they were written. That they represent deep convictions concerning the significance of literature rather than a purely critical attitude, will be apparent to the most indifferent reader.

This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Philosophy and Literature Appearing at first in the pages of contemporary Reviews, and suggested by the controversies of the day, they make no pretence to learning. It always enhances the value of a speculative discussion, if it is supplemented or underpropped by scholarship: but numerous footnotes, and references to authors are out of place in the columns of a Quarterly Review, or a Monthly Magazine. And as the present volume is not a treatise, but a collection of Essays, I make no attempt to supply its deficiencies by additional notes. Only one or two of the peren nial problems - those questions of the ages, which reappear in all the literature of Philosophy, - are dis cussed; and they are dealt with, less in relation to the tendencies of the time, than in their permanent aspects.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Literature and the Classics This book is a collection of nine lectures delivered in Oxford at the invitation of the Board of English Studies in the winter of 1911 - 12. They were addressed primarily to members of the English School, but in effect to all students of modern literature in the University who cared to hear, from students of ancient literature, something of what the Classics mean in the history of letters. The story of the Ancients and Modems is a story, happily, without conclusion, which has its sequel and its public in every generation. These lectures, here and there expanded, but printed, for the most part, as they were given, are now offered as an instal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Two Literatures My dear Moore, Do you remember, at the time when we were both living in the Temple, and our talks used to begin with midnight, and go on until the first glimmerings of dawn shivered among the trees, your trees and mine; do you remember how often we have discussed, well, I suppose everything which I speak of in these studies in the two literatures which we both chiefly care about? Our discussions, indeed, never came to an end; for they were the interchange of ideas, the noting, for one another's benefit (or, say, amusement) of sensations; and just because we both wanted to get at the truth of things, and both realized how many aspects truth has, neither of us had the least interest in getting the better of one another in an argument, or in thinking of any argument as finally settled. On first principles we were always, I think, agreed; and how often in regard to individual applications of them! Has either of us ever doubted that a work of art has but one reason for existence, that it should be a work of art, a moment of the eternity of beauty? One forgets, sometimes, that it has entered into the brains of men to doubt anything so obvious. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The best possible reason that can be given for the preparation of a work of this kind, is that it furnishes to both teachers and students a method of study that necessarily leads to certain definite and much valued results, among which are the following: A better appreciation of artistic merit in poetry; a knowledge of the relation of the mythology of Greece and Rome to the poetry of every European nation and language of modern times; the power to use this golden key.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline Studies in Literature 4. Birth of the novel. a. The novel in English Literature appeared in 1740, when Richardson's Pamela was published. b. Its predecessors: Robinson Crusoe, Lyly's Euphues, Lodge's Rosalind, Sidney's Arcadia. Suggestion 4. If possible, let the pupils prepare the story of each of the above for composition work. Note 3. These have something of the quality of the typical English novel, and influenced the growth of this form of fiction. Besides the works of English fiction just mentioned, there were several romances translated from older languages, without whose influence the true novel might never have been produced. The best known of these are Amadis of Gaul, Gil Blas, Theagnes and Chariclea, Daphnis and Chloe. "These are stories of the adventures of knights and kings and princes; tales of adventure in lands far away; under circumstances impossible, and by help of enchantment and magic and supernatural assistance." Suggestion 5. Let the pupil learn the above names, and ascertain the language in which each romance was originally written. 5. Value of the novel. a. In the novel the reader may trace the progress of civilization through the centuries. b. Social and legal reforms have been effected by novels, notably those of Dickens, Thackeray and Wilkie Collins. c. Novels enable us to see the dark side of life without actual contact. d. Novels preserve manners and customs which would otherwise be lost. 6. First English novelists: Richardson, Smollett, Sterne, Fielding. Suggestion 6. Require pupils to learn the names merely.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Puritan and Anglican: Studies in Literature The Puritan writers with whom I deal are such as to render the title "Puritan and Anglican" not inexact, although many the Puritan party were loyal members of the Anglican Communion. In choosing my subjects 1 have been influenced by two things: first, I have spoken only of writers with whom I have dwelt long and intimately; and secondly, among such writers I have spoken only of those who move me to speak through some personal interest which I feel in the men or their work. Hence without scruple or regret I omit many great names, being ere content to indulge my own likings. I have desired to remain close to my subjects, a many passages, for example, of what I have written 1 Herbert and Vaughan, it is Herbert and Vaughan ho are in fact the speakers; but I did not think) necessary to encumber my pages with a crowd of references to scattered poems from which their thoughts ad phrases have been collected.
