Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Simple History of English Literature: With Illustrative Extracts Young people can scarcely begin too early to learn the beauties of our English poets and prose writers - to enter the society so numerous and so gentle of kings and statesmen lingering patiently, not to grant audience but to gain it, in those plainly furnished and narrow ante-rooms, our bookcase shelves. If I have given any young folks a desire to wander further into the glorious world of which this book is but a glimpse, to use for themselves the golden key admitting to that world which all possess - the power to read - I shall be amply satis fied. If, in addition to helping my young friends, I may have met the want felt by many another teacher, as by myself, of an easy introduction to the study of English literature, the purpose of this little book will be accomplished.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Poets: Twelve Essays Burns, crabbe and wordsworth All these writers are called poets. To all belong more or less the traits vivid imagination, sympathy, wit, humour, command of language and love of harmony in verse. But all these qualities, except the last, may be found in the form of prose. Addison's Roger de Coverley, in prose, is more genial and imaginative than his Cato in blank verse. Sir \valter scott's novels and romances, in prose, are more richly imaginative than his metrical poetry. Jeremy taylor and Sir thomas browne are poets, and irving and hawthorne may be classed with the poets of America. It may, therefore, for a moment appear that verse is but an accidental form of some writings called poetry, and that - suppressing the formal distinction of verse and prose - creative or poetical writers may be well classified with a View to their more important characteristics; their thoughts, sympathies, and tendencies. For, putting aside their verse-writing, there is hardly one characteristic of the men commonly called poets that may not be found in prose-writers. On the other hand, the fact that two men write in verse serves Of itself to indicate but a superficial likeness. Though swie T wrote verses and shelley wrote verses, what concord had one with the other? After all, it remains true that, in popular language, a poet means a man who writes with imaginative and emotional power, and who writes well in verse. And there are good reasons for this closer definition. For. 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 Romantic Movement in English Poetry In its origin, prose is in no sense an art, and it never has and never will become an art, strictly speaking, as verse is, or painting, or music. Gradually it has found out its capacities; it has discovered how what is useful in it can be trained to beauty; it has learned to set limits to what is unbounded in it, and to follow, at a distance, some of the laws of verse. Gradu ally it has developed laws of its own, which, however, by the nature of its existence, are less definite, less peculiar to it as a form, than those of verse. Everything that touches literature as literature affects prose, which has come to be the larger half of what we call literature.

Download or read book The Poets Vol 2 written by William Stebbing and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poets, Vol. 2: Geoffrey Chaucer to Alfred Tennyson, 1340-1892; Impressions; Wordsworth Tennyson An Evangelist among the heathen for thirty years, Supreme Pontiff for twenty. What is he now? No student of literature can doubt what he was. In the history of learning Crusades are no novelties. The close of the eighteenth and earlier part of the nineteenth centuries had a monopoly of crusading in poetry. Goethe and Schiller in Germany; de Musset, Victor Hugo, with the Romanticists, in France; Wordsworth, at the head of the Lake School, in England, sang and fought, sang to fight. Elizabethan poets waged no wars; they were discoverers without being, in the realm of fancy, buccaneers, as some of them were on the Spanish Main. These others were invaders of established kingdoms, as were the Israelites of Canaan. Of all the combatant poets Wordsworth had set himself the hardest task, and won the most signal victory. His hand was against every man. In the rude battle he did not shun to wound a natural ally - a forerunner, like Cowper, in the onslaught upon poetic diction, an observer of rural life, like Thomson! A fanatic doubtless - at once of wide views, and narrow; but it was lie who, though in the panoply of a Captain, fighting for the most part alone, taught how to replace poetic phrases and commonplaces by poetic ideas clothed in plain, pure Kurdish, with rhythm to match.
