Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Two Literatures But unless we adopt the surely untenable theory that the Sonnets, with their passionate sincerity of utterance, the curiously individual note of their complex harmonies, are merely passion according to the Italian Opera, is it not possible that the dark woman, the woman coloured ill, of whom they show us such significant hints of outline, may have turned his thoughts in the direction of Plu tarch's story of Antony and Cleopatra? It is possible; and if so, Shakespeare must have felt a singular satisfaction in putting thus to use an experience bought so sorrowfully, with so much expense of spirit must have felt that he was repaid, more than repaid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Shakespeare to O. Henry: Studies in Literature Again, when a dramatist returns time after time to the same peculiarities in his major creations, it is obvious that he is at any rate interested in those peculiarities, either because they are his own obsessions or are possessed by his most intimate friends. NO man can depict what he fails to understand, nor does he usually attempt to draw what never interests him; Shakespeare, for instance, nowhere gives us a living portrait of the zealous Puritan fanatic reformer, or the shopkeeping, middle-class citizen: neither type interested him. Two types alone stand out among his delineations of men as Doctor Johnson shrewdly remarks, Shake speare has no heroes; his best pictures of men are those which depict them as creatures of obvious human failings like unto ourselves, and they stand out, very clear-cut, in two main groups.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the Influence of the Classics on English Literature When the full day of Elizabeth's reign arrived, other triumphs than those of unschooled art were prepared. From the universities came men with the background of humanistic studies, endowed with wit and with poetic talents instinct with the beau tiful or the sublime. With the advent of these and of Shakespeare, the London stage won to its new standard all necessary to make it complete but the constructive critic. Such a man was not only required to supplement the artistic completeness Of Elizabethan drama, but to serve lesser writers with education in fundamental form. So, unmis takably the man for his time was Ben Jonson, in no respect more rare than in his erudition. His intellectual grasp is known to have compre hended even the subtlest knowledge of his times and much mediaeval lore, but it is impressive to con sider only his classic learning. The first of English poets, with the wealth of Greece as well as Rome at his command, he has not, in periods especially animated by the Greek spirit, been surpassed for the profoundness of his literary acquaintance. Others have exhibited more intimate knowledge and de light; but Jonson in his day stood alone in his championship and first in his conscious theory of art based upon scholarship. While a catalogue of Jonson's Greek and Latin reading would fill line after line, the story of his educational advantages can be briefly told. All quality and inspiration in his early training may safely be attributed by Jonson's own grateful acknowledgment to the famous second master of Westminster School, the most learned, and my honored friend, Master Camden,1 to whom Every M an in his Humor was dedicated. Under his instruction was laid the foundation of vast and exact translation. The jottings of idle moments, contained in the Discoveries, are a revelation Of the range at Jonson's command. Incidental anecdote or authority quoted in this memorandum laid under contribution not only the masterpieces of poetry, philosophy, and oratory, but more obscure gram marians, sophists, and historians.2 With his vigor ous scholarship and naturally retentive memory, Jonson could scarcely be surpassed for the richness of his quotation and allusion. He says of his own faculty in the Discoveries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It has little advantage of subject. When the volumes came out, an honest man said, I suppose something happened between the years 1689 and 1697 but what happened I do not know Every one knows now. No period with so little obvious interest will henceforth be so familiarly known. Only a most felicitous and rather curious genius could and would shed such a light on such an age. Ifin the following pages we Seem to cavil and find fault, let it be remembered, that the business of a critic is criticism that it is not his business to be thankful; that he must attempt an estimate rather than a eulogy.

Download or read book Studies of the Greek Poets Vol 2 of 2 Classic Reprint written by John Addington Symonds and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies of the Greek Poets, Vol. 2 of 2 Two conditions, both of which the Greeks enjoyed in full per fection at the moment of their first dramatic energy, seem to be requisite for the production of a great and thoroughly national drama. These are, first, an era of intense activity or a period succeeding immediately to one of excitement, by which the na tion has been nobly agitated; secondly, a public worthy of the damatist 'spurring him on by its enthusiasm and intelligence to the creation of high works of art. A glance at the history of the drama in modern times will prove how necessary these con ditions are. It was the gigantic effort which we English people made in our struggle with Rome and Spain, it was the rousing of our keenest thought and profoundest emotion by the Reforma tion, which prepared us for the Elizabethan drama, by far the greatest, next to the Greek, in literature. The nation lived in ao tion, and delighted to see great actions imitated. Races in repose or servitude, like the Hebrews under the Roman empire, may, in their state of spiritual exaltation and by effort of pondering on the mysteries cf God and man, give birth to new theosophies; but it requires a free and active race, in Which young and turbulent blood is flowing, to produce a drama. In England, again, at that time, there was a great public. All classes crowded to the thea tres. London, in whose streets and squares martyrs had been burned, on whose quays the pioneers of the Atlantic and Pacific, after disputing the Indies with Spain, lounged and enjoyed their leisure, supplied an eager audience, delighting in the dreams of poets which recalled to mind the realities of their own lives, ap preciating the passion of tragedy, enjoying the mirth of comic in eident. _the men who listened to Othello had both done and suf fered largely; their own experience was mirrored in the scenes of blood and struggle set before them. These two things, therefore - the awakening of the whole English nation to activity, and the presence of a free and haughty audience - made our drama great.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Addington Symonds Until Symonds was well past the age of thirty-five nel mezzo a'el carininin he was known only by his very graceful pictures of Italy and his most scholarly analysis of Greek poetry. I have long been wont to regard his two series of Tne Green Poets (1873, 1876) as the classical and authoritative estimate of this magnificent literature. These studies seem to me entirely right, convincing, and illuminating. There is little more to be said on the sub ject; and there is hardly a point missed or a judgment to be reversed. He can hardly even be said to have over rated or under-rated any important name. And this is the more remarkable in that Symonds ranges over Greek poetry throughout all the thirteen centuries which separate the Iliad from Hero and Leander; and he is just as lucidly judicial whether he deals with Hesiod, Empedocles, zechylus, or Menander.
