Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in American Literature: A Text-Book for Academies and High Schools Verse is SO generally employed in poetry that the terms are often confused. They Should be carefully distinguished; for much good verse, like Dr. Holmes' famous One Hoss Shay, has scarcely any elements of poetry, and there is prose, like Ik Marvel's Dream Life, which is essentially poetic. It is not easy to define poetry. It is the kind of writing in which the imagination predominates. It employs metaphor, simile, personification, and other tropes more freely than does prose. Poetry does not argue. It reports the Visions of the seer. It is essentially creative. The poet appeals to the emotions rather than to the understanding. These statements charac terize rather than define, and some of them might be reasonably disputed, but they may serve to help us make the necessary distinction between prose and poetry. The principal forms of prose and verse had been developed in English Literature before American Literature began to be. American writers imparted qualities of their own to these already established forms. But they have not - except in a few in stances - attempted to change them or to depart from them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Poetry in Song, and Some Other Studies in Literature: With a Few Pieces of Verse Mr. Dewey's literary grace was a growth. At the first it came from earnest study and thoughtful edort to master the fixed forms of verse - eu outcome of his instinct for harmony. From this study he learned to Oppreciate the whole realm of literature in its purest sense. Such interpreters as Lanier. Shel ley and Keats appealed to him. He drank in their tenderness. He reveled in their mysticism. When he wrote or spoke of them. It was with a personal sympathy that told of his own mind's likeness to theirs. With leisure. He would have been a critic of rank with the masters. He would have written literary essays to measure up with the world's best examples. It was in this that he excelled; for this his mind was fitted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Such text-books are taught with good result in German schools, and are intended to simplify, not to complicate, the study of literature. The greater part of the literature taught in our schools and colleges is in verse; but, in too many cases, the scholar studies poems without having acquired any definite and compact knowledge of the science of poetry. This Handbook of Poetics is meant to aid the teacher in laying so necessary a foundation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

She sat down in it, and Of course, She said, the pieces I want will be at the very back and the very bottom. Why don't you get yourself a chair, too, Ambrose? What are you looking at?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Stories and Some Verses He was born in Milton, Massachusetts, Sep tember sth, 1869. When he was but a few weeks old, the family removed to Roxbury, a part of Boston, and this was his home through his life. He passed through the regular courses of the Roxbury Latin School and of Harvard College, and graduated with credit at Cambridge in 1892. He was a general favorite, and so soon as he left college various attractive proposals were made to him by older friends who hoped to secure his intelligent and cordial service, as a teacher, as a director of philanthropic work, as an editor, or in other ways. But he had already determined to devote his life to authorship or literature. With him, a careful resolution was a determination; it meant something unchange able. He immediately planned out a course of systematic study for his purpose, - a course such as the limitations of college life hardly permit; and to that course be devoted himself as stead ily as if he had been at the call of a college bell. At the same time, and with the same stead fastness, he assigned to himself duties in what is called charity, in the relief of the lonely, in help of the ignorant, and in citizenship. Best of all, he gave the light and joy to a happy home. As early as 1892 he began to send to editors such work as he thought worthy of print, in verse or in prose. In the autumn of 1894 he published a volume of poems, under the name Elsie and Other Poems. His articles were received more and more favorably, by critics and by the pub lic, and before he died it was clear that he had not mistaken his career. A few of his prose papers, and seven of his poems which were not in the volume published in 1894, make up the collection in the reader's hands.

Download or read book The Vital Study of Literature written by William Norman Guthrie and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vital Study of Literature: And Other Essays The present volume cannot claim to be a real book. A real book is the product of long and great love for some one inspiring idea. The creative toil may have been intermittent, yet some single preconceived plan has secured in advance the organic unity of the finished work. Now this, that lies before the reader, is but a loose aggregation of lectures committed to paper after the white heat of delivery had cooled, together with several more or less painstaking and extensive reviews, written because of particular concern in a contemporary publication or for the promotion of an espoused cause, each separately composed without any regard whatever to the possible or actual existence of one another. When, however, these detached lectures and essays came to be collected, - all but one of which appeared at the time of their production in some periodical - what surprised not a little their compiler and reviewer was the inherent unity of design and tendency they exhibit. To group them was no difficult task. First were naturally placed four papers in which certain beliefs held and abided by as teacher and lecturer are advocated not unseldom with what may, to the precise and frigid, seem quite inordinate zeal.

It ruled the literature of Europe long after the downfall of the Western empire and became the fruitful mother of all Romanic languages. It is still and will remain the official organ of the Roman Church. Of the Romanic languages again, each has its peculiar merit. And beauty.

Download or read book Traditional Techniques in Classical Hebrew Verse written by Wilfred G. E. Watson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1994-09-01 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before, during and after the preparation of Classical Hebrew Poetry: A Guide to its Techniques, Wilfred Watson published several articles on Hebrew poetry in a wide range of periodicals. The present volume collects together the most significant of these writings, including a chapter from a book on chiasmus, as well as a few unpublished items. After an opening survey of current work on Hebrew verse the articles cover the following topics: parallelism (including half-line parallelism, previously almost unnoticed), antithesis, word pairs, chiasmus, figurative language and introductions to speech in verse. The last section deals with structural devices and a folktale motif in narrative verse, hyperbole, apostrophe and alliteration. Previously unpublished items are on the contribution of ethnopoetics, from the study of Native American literature to Hebrew narrative verse (a new topic in biblical studies), parallelism in the Song of Songs and a metaphor in Jeremiah. This anthology is intended as a companion volume to Classical Hebrew Poetry. It includes additions and corrections to that book and there are also several indices.

Download or read book Clear and Simple as the Truth written by Francis-Noël Thomas and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone talks about style, but no one explains it. The authors of this book do; and in doing so, they provoke the reader to consider style, not as an elegant accessory of effective prose, but as its very heart. At a time when writing skills have virtually disappeared, what can be done? If only people learned the principles of verbal correctness, the essential rules, wouldn't good prose simply fall into place? Thomas and Turner say no. Attending to rules of grammar, sense, and sentence structure will no more lead to effective prose than knowing the mechanics of a golf swing will lead to a hole-in-one. Furthermore, ten-step programs to better writing exacerbate the problem by failing to recognize, as Thomas and Turner point out, that there are many styles with different standards. In the first half of Clear and Simple, the authors introduce a range of styles--reflexive, practical, plain, contemplative, romantic, prophetic, and others--contrasting them to classic style. Its principles are simple: The writer adopts the pose that the motive is truth, the purpose is presentation, the reader is an intellectual equal, and the occasion is informal. Classic style is at home in everything from business memos to personal letters, from magazine articles to university writing. The second half of the book is a tour of examples--the exquisite and the execrable--showing what has worked and what hasn't. Classic prose is found everywhere: from Thomas Jefferson to Junichirō Tanizaki, from Mark Twain to the observations of an undergraduate. Here are many fine performances in classic style, each clear and simple as the truth. Originally published in 1994.
