Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of English Literature, Vol. 1 of 2 Among the last acts of his life were his reading of my ms., and his instructions to his colleague about some alterations or kindly suggestions for the improvement of my text. But almost all the changes my version experienced were practically made by his own hand. In this paternal oversight I have cause for self-congratulation, for not every translator is so fortunate. I also received Professor Ten Brink's authority to make enlargements, extra foot-notes, a new arrangement of the paragraphs, or whatever else I might consider helpful in bring ing the work more closely home to his English and American readers, on whose appreciation he set great value. But I have naturally refrained from making much use of such flattering confidence; any changes or additions are duly noted where they occur. Besides the author's critical revision of my text, many of the proof sheets have been read by experienced students of English Literature, which has frequently resulted in a greater clearness of diction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Literature The Beginnings of English Literature. The Difficulties attending them. The Advisability of taking Chaucer as our Starting Point. The Necessity of Knowing the Outlines of Earlier Days before even Chaucer is attempted. English Literature may be said to begin with some fragments of poetry that date back as far as the fourth century; and, for the ten centuries following, our literature is extremely difficult to understand, because it is written either in Anglo-Saxon, or else in one of the dialects of Middle English. It took a thousand years for English literature to develop properly; and we do not come across any author who can be easily mastered until we arrive at the middle of the fourteenth century. Then we find Geoffrey Chaucer one of the greatest of our poets, who died in the year 1400. We cannot, however, properly appreciate even his work unless we know something of the condition of English between the fourth and the fourteenth centuries; and this knowledge we must try to obtain by learning a little about the principal things that happened to the language before Chaucer's time. II. The Old English Times. I. The Teutonic Tribes in Britain. Nature of their Poetry. Alliteration, and what it means. How the Fragments of Ancient Songs have been preserved. Examples of them. "The Fight at Finnesburg," and "Beowulf." We have to begin by thinking of the tribes that came over to Britain in the fifth century, and slowly transformed it into England. They were Teutonic tribes, and spoke various Teutonic tongues. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of English Literature Vol 10 written by A. W. Ward and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cambridge History of English Literature, Vol. 10: The Age of Johnson After a protracted period of tentative effort, the English novel in the eighteenth century sprang into complete being from a soil not upturned by any violent social upheaval, but in which a deep movement of vitality had been secretly at work. The moral revolution sometimes called the renascence of sentiment cannot be said to have preceded the birth of Richardson's masterpieces; but their success, to some extent, was favoured by it, while they contributed to give it weight. The literary growth into which the sap that had permeated the Elizabethan drama was again to flow could thus be sustained by a radical energy equal in depth, if not in breadth, to that by means of which Shakespeare's plays had flourished. From the age of Milton to that of Wesley, puritanism, to all appearance, had been struck out of art, as it had out of the brilliant, superficial life of the world. Yet, Bunyan had dreamt his dream, and visualised for ever his imaginings; Addison had reconciled literature with the earnest purposes of human life; Defoe had grasped the concrete substance of things and breathed truth into fiction. From the beginning of the Georgian era, the rise of the trading class had been slowly infusing into public opinion a new spirit of probity and fervour. About 1740, the methodist movement was in full activity, and the sentimental reaction was gathering an impetus destined to contribute to no less a result than the romantic revival. A contemporary as he was of Wesley and of Young, Richardson signalises the advent of a momentous change, the full extent of which was never to become perceptible to himself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ye On's Ten Hundred Sorrows and Other Stories One day, when he particularly wanted to go to the shop, but found the baby all ready to be taken for an airing, Ye On flew into a sudden passion. He felt that it would be a relief if he could pound or pinch little A-sam, but knowing from previous experiments that the resulting howls would betray him, he looked around for some one else to wreak his vengeance upon. Ah! There was the kitchen god, comfortable and complacent behind the stove. Why did he not arrange things more satisfactorily? In an in stant Ye On's hand was in a bowl of water standing temptingly near, and the picture of the kitchen god was splashed from head to foot, so that the red of his girdle began to run into the green of his robe, 'while the pink from his cheeks added itself to the mixture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of English Literature: In a Series of Biographical Sketches Books into the framework formed by the accession of our Sovereigns, I have adopted a purely literary division. Selecting such great landmarks as the Birth of Chaucer, and the Introduction of Printing, I find that Ten Eras, each possessing a very distinct character, will embrace every name of note, from the oldest Celtic bards to Tennyson and Carlyle. The pre-english Era takes a rapid view of British books and book-makers before the birth of Chaucer, about whose day the true English Literature began to exist. In the nine remaining Eras an entire chapter is devoted to each greatest name, writers of less mark being grouped together in a closing section. Short illustrative Specimens, intended mainly to form the basis of lessons on variety of style, are appended to all the leading lives. Since names that cannot be passed over grow very thick towards the end, the closing chapters of the last two Eras have been arranged upon a plan which prevents confusion, and, by the use of Supplement ary Lists, admits the mention of many authors who must otherwise have been left out.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jane Eyre Perhaps this explanation' 1s put forward to account rather for the continuance of the Brontés' fame than for their origi nal success. Such a critic would admit that 'jane Eyre' is at least a vivid and exciting story; that 'villette' has at least passages of extraordinary brilliance: but he will obsti nately maintain, none the less, that other books, now forgot ten, have had as much, and that the Bronte 'legend' has unfairly strengthened the claim of the Bronte stories upon posterity.
