Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Specimens of English Prose Style: From Malory to Macaulay A Year or more ago it was reported, perhaps falsely, that a great French writer, whose command of his own tongue was only equalled by his ignorance of the English language and literature, gave in some semi-public form his opinion of the difference between French and English prose and verse. A perfect language, he opined, should show a noteworthy difference between its style in prose and its style in verse: this difference existed in French and did not exist in English. I shall give no opinion as to the truth of this axiom in general, or as to its application to French. But it is not inappropriate to begin an essay on the subject of English prose style by observing that, whatever may be its merits and defects, it is entirely different - different by the extent of the whole heaven of language - from I English verse style. We have had writers, including some of genius, who have striven to make prose like verse: and we have had other writers, including some of genius, who have striven to make verse like prose. Both in so doing have shown themselves to be radically mistaken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellaneous Studies in Prose: For the Exclusive Use of Grenville Kleiser's Mail Course Students IT IS generally recognized that clear and accurate thinking must precede clear and ao curate expression. The selections presented here have a double value for the student. First, as examples of clear and forceful think ing; second, as specimens of good English. The student of English should be a general reader of the recognized stylists. These ex tracts should stimulate his interest in the larger works of such writers as Addison, Car lyle, Macaulay and Newman. Webster should be closely studied as a master of English style, with special regard to the needs of the public speaker.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Rhetorical Analysis: Studies in Style and Designed Invention, Designed to Accompany the Author's Practical Elements of Rhetoric The selections that make up this Handbook, while fairly representative, so far as they go, of the authors from whose works they are taken, are not to be regarded as introductions to the authors as such, still less as studies in the history and development of English prose literature. They are simply, as the title indicates, extracts to be analyzed, in style and structure, for the purpose of forming, from actual examples, some intelligent conception of what the making of good literature involves: taken from, the best writers, because it is safer to study models of excellence than examples of error; taken from several writers, because it is not wise to make an exclusive model of any one author's work, however excellent; and taken for the most part from recent writers, not because these are better than writers of earlier time, but because they are more likely to illustrate the usages practically needed in this century. "I think, as far as my observation has gone," says Mr. John Morley, "that men will do better for reaching precision by studying carefully and with an open mind and a vigilant eye the great models of writing, than by excessive practice of writing on their own account." In a general way such testimony as this to the value of the study of literary models is universal. Biographies of authors are full of it; reports, gleaned from every available source, of "books which have influenced me," and accounts of the great literary works which have been at eminent writers' elbows, constant companions and inspirers, are eagerly read and treasured for their helpfulness to workers' who aspire to like eminence. But while the question of the what is so copiously answered, the question of the how remains for the most part unapproached.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of English Prose Style: The Chancellor's Essay, 1881 Poetry for the most part is the result of spasmodic outbursts, consequent upon fits of national self-consciousness, such as are caused by a sudden opening up of new foreign relations, or by successful wars: fits like these are intermittent; when the pulse of the nation has ceased to beat P5313? pp5d t with feverish activity poetry will probably be comparatively neglected; whereas prose being the vehicle of all natural thought will, among a people which is making steady progress towards self-education, maintain a more even course of development. No doubt in a minor degree the prose literature of a country will always reflect passing phases of national character, and it would be unsafe to lay down any very formal generalization on the point; but the distinction just given seems to be the usual one between metrical and unmetrical composition, viewed as factors in history.

Download or read book The Invention of Prose Classic Reprint written by Professor of Greek Literature and Culture and Fellow and Director of Studies in Classics Simon Goldhill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Invention of Prose Greece Rome Surveys are changing. They were inaugurated thirty-five years ago as brief essays to direct bright students and their teachers towards significant areas of critical concern in a major author's work and the relevant bibliography. Since then, they have moved on to more extended essays on areas of thought, as well as on particular authors. This essay is designed to introduce such a general area namely, the world of fifth and fourth-century Greek prose. There are already Surveys on historiography and on science and on 'ancient thought' (primarily philosophy). This book is not intended to reproduce or cannibalize those excellent studies. Rather, this Survey takes a different, complementary look at the cultural revolution of the classical polis through one of its new ways of writing. Central to this project is rhetoric as a science and a practice but it has proved impossible to think about rhetoric seriously without looking at it across the differing developing prose genres. It is an essay designed first to put rhetoric in a nuanced context of writing, second and perhaps most importantly to recapture some of the novelty and excitement of a period when genres now so familiar to us were being established. This is not a book on 'prose style': the requirements of translation and transliteration forbid exten sive analysis of such precisions of expression. Nor is this a full survey of the possible or even common discussions of all of the authors and genres mentioned: in the notes I have provided a spare and critical (rather than exhaustive) bibliography, focusing on works in English for what I assume will be a mainly Anglophone readership, and indicating where further work can be found. I have not indicated every debt, so as not to burden the text with an excessive apparatus, and the notes are solely for following up issues of interest for the reader. If this book turns some of its readers back towards Greek prose writing with a fresh eye and a wish to read on, more deeply and with a new sense of the critical issues involved then the project will have been a success.

Download or read book The Approach of Academic to Spoken Style in German written by Charles Fischer Sladen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Approach of Academic to Spoken, Style in German: A Study in Popular Scientific Prose, From Scientific Prose, From 1850 to 1914 This study Sprang from a suggestion of Dr. Learned that a certain recent scientific work was cumbered with obscure style, although its appeal was a popular one. German is much praised in America as pre eminently the language of science; clearness would seem to be the most desirable quality for scientific purposes. Many of these have been written upon literary German. From the American point of view it seemed worth while to consider German as a scientific medium and to determine as. Far as may be whether it be a clear one. A necessary preface to such a study was the analytical statement of some elements of clearness in Chapter I. Then a corpus Of representa tive popular scientific prose was needed, the task of covering the ground exhaustively being an impossible one. Seventy - one works were studied. Two passages of fifty sentences being selected from each. The aim was to cover the period from 1870 and as many branches of science as pos sible, but to select popular resumes rather than original investigations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of English Prose Literature: Biographical and Critical, Designed Mainly to Show Characteristics of Style Little need be said to justify taking up Prose by itself. In criticising Poetry we are met by very different con siderations from those that occur in the other kinds of composition. What is more, many people not particularly interested in Poetry are anxious for practical purposes to have a good knowledge of Prose style; and when Prose and Poetry are discussed in the same volume, Prose is generally sacrificed to Poetry.
