Download or read book Tales from Tennyson Classic Reprint written by George Cantrell Allen and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From Tennyson The 'Tales' in this volume are an attempt to put within the reach of younger readers the substance of the cycle of Arthurian romance which is contained in Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King, ' preserving as far as possible both the letter and the spirit of the late Laureate's work, with some 'faint Homeric echoes' of the ancient chronicles that form the basis of each story. It is hoped that these 'Tales' may effect two objects dear to the writer's heart - one, that they may induce the few who look at them to read the 'Idylls of the King' for themselves, if they have not already done so, and to re-read them if they have; the other, that they may awaken some further interest in the legendary history of that mysterious King whose name, as we tramp or cycle through the British Isles in our holiday rambles, starts up before us from hill and crag, cairn and cromlech, and grassy mound, and has become a household word to most of us from the fairy-tales of the nursery. Who was King Arthur? Was there ever a King Arthur at all? If so, when did he live, and what was he like? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lionel Tennyson Lionel Tennyson was born on March 16th 1854, at Farringford, in the Isle of Wight. From his babyhood he was always an affectionate, joyous, and beautiful child. As he developed, he was imaginative, and very fond of music, and of fairy stories, legends, and old ballads, read at his mothers knee. One day he was so much affected by some sad song which Mr. Lear was singing that, my mother has told me, she had to carry him out of the room. Our delight was great when Mr. Jowett used to tell us stories out of the Odyssey, or when our father read aloud about King Arthur, in the long winter evenings, as we sat in front of the yule-log fires. Then came the time of tutors; to some of these he was much attached, and would weep passionately at their departure. Our life in those early days was very simple, and one of the happiest imaginable.

For the examination next year, therefore, the part required will be from line 852 to the end of the poem. As, however, the end of the story cannot well be understood without a knowledge of the beginning, the student will find it necessary to make frequent reference to the first part of the tale.

Download or read book The Story of Idylls of the King written by Inez N. McFee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Idylls of the King: Adapted From Tennyson, With the Original Poem Writer has been to put the subject matter of the Idylls into readable form for young readers, to lay a foundation, as it were, for Tennyson's tales. They are stories of noble chivalry, courtesy, humanity, friendliness, hardiness, love, friend ship, cowardice, murder, hate, Virtue, and sin. Before reading these tales the young reader should know that King Arthur was a good and wise king who ruled over parts of England in the sixth century. In those days England was divided into a number of petty kingdoms, each ruled by its own king, and Arthur was the wisest and best of these rulers. Indeed, so great was he, that be conquered a large number of his neighbor kings, and finally came to be the ruler of all Western, or Celtic England. He was so chivalrous and kind, so wise and just, that people every where sang his praises. Story aft'er story about him was handed down from one generation to another, until, even before print ing came into use, writers of many lands took him for the highest type of chivalrous gentleman. He was made to stand for all that was good and pure in life, and his name became a household watch word. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lover's Tale The original Preface to 'the Lover's Tale' states that it was composed in my nineteenth year. Two only of the three parts then written were printed, when, feeling the imperfection of the poem, I withdrew it from the press. One of my friends however who, boylike, admired the boy's work, distributed among our common associates of that hour some copies of these two parts, without my know ledge, without the omissions and amendments which I had in contemplation, and marred by the many misprints of the compositor. Seeing that these two parts have of late been mercilessly pirated, and that what I had deemed scarce worthy to live is not allowed to die, may I not be pardoned if I suffer the whole poem at last to come into the light - accompanied with a reprint of the sequel - a work of my mature life The Golden Supper'?

Latterly he stirred the embers, and proceeded to boil the kettle, in order to make himself a cup of tea. His wife was quite unable to take anything in the way of food; all that she was allowed by the doctor being milk or beef-tea. The milk Jamie was still able to afford, but the beef-tea and other sick-bed delicacies were now quite out of the question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.
