Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Modern Poetry In his essay on the poetic principle Poe defines the art of verse as 'the rhythmical creation of beauty', and finds its source in the human aspiration to supernal loveliness. In The Raven, more than in any of his poems, the form is direct in its appeal to the reader's mind, in calling up before us the effulgence of another world, in expressing that thirst for immortality, which is the true essence of poetry. Here all is transformed by the magic of art, and endowed with a wider meaning and a deeper significance; we perceive that the bird is a symbol of despair, - that the poet's eager questions are not only suggested by his love for the lost Lenore, but spring out of his heart's core as spiritual flowers aspiring to an eternal sun, - that they are indeed the utterance of his intense and ardent yearning for everlasting life. In this mystic transfiguration of reality, sublimity is attained; we enjoy the pure ecstasy of beauty in the sincere, perfect manifestation of a noble soul.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies of Contemporary Poets That is not to make any absolute claim for the poets in this group, either as to their art or thought nor to try to enthrone mere modernity. Still less would one attempt to appraise the poets relatively to each other or to the poets of earlier times. One sees simply that, despite faults, their work has much beauty and deep significance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tradition and Change: Studies in Contemporary Literature Poetry is already in a twelfth impression, and many of the names that decorate it are among the most enthusiastically acclaimed of the younger generation. But, before we consider their performance in detail, a few reflections upon the art which they practise may help us to appreciate the precise standard of poetry to which their workmanship and Spiritual outlook conform. Poetry, it will be generally conceded, even by the most enterprising claimant for plain speak ing in common speech, must work in one or other, or in all combined, of three different media - ideas, emotions, and moods. When poetry was defined as a criticism Of life, the framer Of the definition had in mind chiefly the poetry Of ideas; when it is described as 'emo tion remembered In tranquillity, t the description is directed chiefly to emotional poetry; and when we are told, as we often are nowadays, that the sincere reproduction of a moment's Spiritual experience is the proper concern Of the poetic art, this third and final definition applies alrnost exclusively to the poetry which seeks to reproduce the writer's passing mood without considering its permanent truth or value. The highest order of poetry will be found, under analysis, to com bine elements from each Of these three classes for the emotion, without which poetry is barren, contains in itself an indirect reference to the mood in which it is evoked, while the poet pro ceeds from the registration of the emotion to test it by the standard Of the universal idea. But it must never be forgotten that the idea is the germ Of the poem; that the truth and univer sality Of the idea is the test of the poem's quality.

Many names which deserve mention have of necessity been passed over, and no purely prose writers are included, because for them a separate volume is needed.

This I have done for facility of reference, but at the price of occasional repetition, which I hope will be forgiven me.

For example, in the lee ture here printed Ou the Terms 'classical' and 'ro mantic' I purposely contented myself with discussing some elementary and (as I believe) mistaken notions, reserving some interesting modern theories for later treatment.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in American and British Literature The object of literature in education is to open the mind, to correct it, to refine it, to enable it to comprehend and digest its knowledge, to give it power over its faculties, application, flexibility, method, critical exactness, sagacity, address and expression. - John Henry Newman. All the arts are dwarfed by the power of literature. Each other art can express only some part of the mind; music a part, architecture a part, painting a part, but literature can express all the thoughts and emotions of the entire spirit. And this art one can carry with him when he travels; it can flourish in one little room. It depends not upon wealth or house or gallery, but where the mind has a common education there this art can find its home. - Professor Swing. To love the best literature is to possess the truest and most imperishable of earthly riches. Such a love gives to the young what they most need. It creates and sustains high and beautiful ideals of human life, gives them the choicest companions and truest friends, and enlarges their mental and spiritual horizon. It enables them to keep the keen appreciation, sweet trustfulness, and beautiful simplicity of childhood, while it multiplies both their powers or usefulness and sources of happiness. - Frank V.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Studies in Literature These studies, chosen from a larger number which appeared during a series of years in The Fortnightly Review, are reprinted with the permission of the proprietors of that periodical. The portion of the volume which deals with Goethe is derived from an examination of Goethe's mind and art, to which I gave much time and pains, but which still remains incomplete. So much new material has recently come to light, so much awaits publication, and so great has been the industry of German scholars, that delay seemed advisable. Certain fragments of my study were thrown into the shape of addresses delivered as President of the English Goethe Society; one - that on Goethe's friendship with Schiller - was read before the Manchester Goethe Society. The article on "Literary Criticism in France" was given as one - I believe the first - of the recently established Taylorian lectures at Oxford.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Literary Values: Studies in Modern Literature This is not to say that no criticism is good which does not take the form of philosophical investiga tion, but that such investigation must precede any further discussion. Criticism must assume a stable standard of values and constant points of reference, and the discovery of these must be made by each critic for himself. Otherwise there cannot even be an intelligent handling of vocabulary. What can the critic do with such words as aesthetic, form, ideal, significant, unless he has satisfied himself about their meaning by his own investigations? How often do we see quite un defined terms flung about loosely in critical writing which passes for profound! Definition of terms is no simple matter it is not the beginning of a thought-process but the end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Realistic Revolt in Modern Poetry But like every new movement, the reaction against Victorianism and romance has its extremists who seem determined, above all else, on being original, without con sidering that their changes in the artistic medium, by which they have to communicate with their audience, are too violent and sudden. It is true that an ancient Greek would be as much at a loss before the statuary of Rousseaux as before our photographs: the gulf between the art which he knew and that of modern Europe is too wide to be jumped at one bound. Nor must we forget that the idiom and inflection of the language of art changes as much as the ordinary speech of a community, and that after two thousand years it will be unintelligible to its older speakers. But though it changes, the change is gradual and in the development of art, the characteristic expression of the msthetic consciousness through the ages, we never find lacunae. Though the barbarians may have destroyed classic art and built their own out of its ruins, yet within the classical period or within the modern, between the cataclysms that blot out all traditions, the continuity of art is clear and certain.
