GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS. Hav1ng now traced the course of Thomson's life, and studied his chief works in verse and prose, we may conclude by taking a general view of his position as thinker and writer, pessimist and poet, examining first his philosophical opinions, and then his literary characteristics. He had been brought up, as we have seen, in the strictest Presbyterian doctrines, and in the opening period of his authorship he had not altogether lost belief in the tenets of Christianity, though his keen and trenchant intellect, sharpened by early misfortunes, had cut him adrift from much to which he had previously clung. Two distinct phases of religious opinion are therefore observable in his writings. We see him, at the outset of his literary career, in that painful state of hesitation and doubt, through which so many powerful thinkers have had to pass with labour and misgiving of mind, before emerging into the comparative calm of affirmative or negative conviction. In some lines written in 1855, "suggested by Matthew Arnold's stanzas from the 'Grande Chartreuse, '" he gives expression to the regret which he still felt at the parting, inevitable though he saw it to be, from the central doctrine of Christianity; while in the "Doom of a City," written two years later, and even in the gloomy " Mater Tenebrarum " of 1859, there are still signs of a belief, or half-belief, in the immortality of the soul and the benevolence of an overruling Deity. Apparently connected with this change of religious faith was that period of hesitation between alternate moods of self-reproach and self-confidence of which, and of his final deliverance, Thomson has left a record in "Vane's Story: "--I half remember, years ago, Fits of despair that...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of James Thomson B: With a Selection From His Letters and a Study of His Writings I could wish that the duty of writing this biography had been entrusted to one who had enjoyed the ad vantage of personal acquaintance with James Thom son. As, however, no such biographer was forth coming, I have done my best to put together the scattered records already published, and to collect such further information as could still be obtained. It has been my object to avoid all fancy portraiture, and to give a clear and reliable narrative of the main facts of Thomson's life, allowing his letters as much as possible to tell their own tale, and quoting in many cases the actual words of those who have recorded their personal reminiscences.

It includes some major figures such as Wordsworth, Dickens, and James, but also other writers and artists who are all but forgotten.

Download or read book Melville s Philosophies written by Branka Arsic and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melville's Philosophies departs from a long tradition of critical assessments of Melville that dismissed his philosophical capacities as ingenious but muddled. Its contributors do not apply philosophy to Melville in order to detect just how much of it he knew or understood. To the contrary, they try to hear the philosophical arguments themselves-often very strange and quite radical-that Melville never stopped articulating and reformulating. What emerges is a Melville who is materialistically oriented in a radical way, a Melville who thinks about life forms not just in the context of contemporary sciences but also ontologically. Melville's Philosophies recovers a Melville who is a thinker of great caliber, which means obliquely but dramatically reversing the way the critical tradition has characterized his ideas. Finally, as a result of the readings collected here, Melville emerges as a very relevant thinker for contemporary philosophical concerns, such as the materialist turn, climate change, and post-humanism.

Book excerpt: Continuation of the reference work that originated with Robert Dodsley, written and published each year, which records and analyzes the year’s major events, developments and trends in Great Britain and throughout the world. From the 1920s volumes of The Annual Register took the essential shape in which they have continued ever since, opening with the history of Britain, then a section on foreign history covering each country or region in turn. Following these are the chronicle of events, brief retrospectives on the year’s cultural and economic developments, a short selection of documents, and obituaries of eminent persons who died in the year.
