Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles and Progress of English Poetry: With Representative Masterpieces and Notes Swinburne, and carried down to the present day, will, we are confident, be of rare and inspiring interest and value to teachers and pupils alike. In this latter effort our labors have been lightened by the generous cooperation of several of the most representative contemporary poets. We have, in general, adhered to the plan of the former book. The design is to provide within the covers of one volume what is usually set forth in three volumes: (1) an introduction to the Principles of Poetry; (2) a survey of the Progress of English Poetry by its periods, together with critical sketches of the lives and works of the poets chosen as representative; (3) as much as possible of the poetry commonly read in prep aration for entrance to American universities, and such other poems as are illustrative of successive literary periods and adapted to the requirements of an introductory course in Eng lish masterpieces; (4) such notes as will aid the pupil in his study of the poems and increase his ability to appreciate and understand poetry not thus annotated. For our former prefatory essay on the principles of poetry, intended not primarily for use in class but for teachers, to to be retailed to younger pupils as occasion offers and discre tion dictates, we have substituted here a distinctively ele mentary Introduction to the Study of Poetry. This Intro duction covers only such topics as are essential to the informa tion of high school pupils. It aims to present the material as briefly and simply as possible, but still with something of the detail befitting a subject of wide scope, something of the explanation required by pupils unfamiliar with the study, and something of the literary sympathy and delight that cannot be conveyed in a categorical and dry-as-dust statement. If the student is encouraged to make constant reference to the illustrative poems mentioned in the Introduction, he will learn to apply the principles and will derive keener enjoyment from poetry better understood. At the request of teachers the more comprehensive Principles of Poetry mentioned above will presently be republished in enlarged and independent form.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Poetics, for Students of English Verse Tms book is published in the belief that many teachers have felt the lack of a concise and systematic statement of the principles of poetry. Such text-books are taught with good result in German schools, and are intended to simplify, not to complicate, the study of literature. The greater part of the literature taught in our schools and colleges is in verse; but, in too many cases, the scholar studies poems without having acquired any definite and compact knowledge of the science of poetry. This Handbook of Poetics is meant to aid the teacher in laying so necessary a foundation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Principles of English Metre written by Egerton Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of English Metre Before plunging into the detailed work for this book I thought that a formula might be stated which would cover the whole range of modern English verse; but it was soon evident that no such simple formula was possible, that metrists have assumed a degree of homogeneity which is not actually found, that there was more complexity than their generalizations would lead one to expect, that there is an underlying law, but something at once less rigid and more comprehensive than any they had yet stated. Johnson's opinion that 'the essence of verse is regularity, and its ornament is variety' is often quoted with approval; but how is this combination effected? Does it mean now one, now the other; law and order prevailing in one part, Bolshevism asserting itself in another; that is to say, the verse sometimes rhythmical, sometimes not? This position I should be unwilling to accept, and I prefer to consider, with the poets themselves, that rhythm is an essential of poetry, and that the freedom is within the rhythmic law, not a violation of it. The most suggestive theorists, I found, were Patmore, Lanier, and Mr. Omond - for the work of the latter, in particular, I have the greatest admiration - but above all I have valued the dicta of poets themselves, and have quoted them freely.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Poetry and Its Contribution to the Knowledge of a Creative Principle: With a Preface I have always remembered a distinction drawn by R. G. Colling wood at the beginning of The Principles of Art. He contrasts two types of theorist in the field of aesthetics: the 'philosopher aesthetician' and the 'artist-aesthetician', and draws attention to the different types Of error to which they are exposed. If I advert here to these two kinds Of theorist, it is because Signor Vivante seems to me to escape the mistakes of both, and because the dis tinction may help me to elucidate his particular merit.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of English Grammar, Defined and Illustrated: To Which Are Added Pieces in Prose and Poetry, Designed for Analytical Exercises; And False Syntax for Correction On examination, it is ascertained that more than four-fifths of all the words in common use in the english language, are of anglo-saxon origin. Those words expresswe of the dearest relations of life; as, father, mother, brother, sister, husband, wife, son, daughter, are anglo-saxon. In reading English authors, we generally find, upon an average, that out of twenty-six thousand five hundred and sixty words, about twenty-three thousand are from the anglo-saxon. This fact presents a strong reason in favor of studying the anglo-saxon in our American schools. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
