Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of a Traveler: Selected After a brief __sojourn in Germany and France, Irving went, in 1826, to Spain, where he remained three years, working upon his Life of Columbus. The labor resulted also in three/other books of imperishable beauty and interest, The Alhambra, the Conquest of Granada, and the Legends of the Conquest of Spain.

From the Royal Society of Literature he received the gold medal of King George, and from the University of Oxford the degree of which title, however, his mod esty never permitted him to use. Two years later he returned to America, and met with an overwhelming reception from his ad miring countrymen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits of Travel, or Tales of Men and Cities, Vol. 2 of 2 The day that I and my companion rode over to see him was a fine one in J une, and as we walked cur horses into the town, we heard a considerable clamour towards the market-place. We trotted in that direction, and the first thing that struck us was the fine figure of Phil, in a crowd of town's-people which sur rounded a squad of four or five Cossacks, who had rode into the market, got drunk in a cabaret, and were quarrelling together and belabourin'g each other unmercifully, with the short thick whips attached to their bridles. These savages did not lay-on each other more ferociously than did some cowardly scoundrels of the town lay on them, when two or three of them were tumbled from their ponies and lay sprawling on the ground. All the enmity of the vanquished broke out, and the Cossacks would have been roughly handled indeed, had not a gallant ally been ready, in the person of the English captain.

Download or read book Old Style written by Claudia Stokes and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An aesthetic of unoriginality shaped literary style and reader taste for decades of the nineteenth century. While critics in the twentieth century and beyond have upheld originality and innovation as essential characteristics of literary achievement, they were not features particularly prized by earlier American audiences, Claudia Stokes contends. On the contrary, readers were taught to value familiarity, traditionalism, and regularity. Literary originality was often seen as a mark of vulgar sensationalism and poor quality. In Old Style Stokes offers the first dedicated study of a forgotten nineteenth-century aesthetic, explicating the forms, practices, conventions, and uses of unoriginality. She focuses in particular on the second quarter of the century, when improvements in printing and distribution caused literary markets to become flooded with new material, and longstanding reading practices came under threat. As readers began to prefer novelty to traditional forms, advocates openly extolled unoriginality in an effort to preserve the old literary ways. Old Style examines this era of significant literary change, during which a once-dominant aesthetic started to give way to modern preferences. If writing in the old style came to be associated with elite conservatism—a linkage that contributed to its decline in the twentieth century—it also, paradoxically provided marginalized writers—people of color, white women, and members of the working class—the literary credentials they needed to enter print. Writing in the old style could affirm an aspiring author's training, command of convention, and respectability. In dismissing unoriginality as the literary purview of the untalented or unambitious, Stokes cautions, we risk overlooking something of vital importance to generations of American writers and readers.
