Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Responsibilities of the Novelist, and Other Literary Essays It is not here a question of the "unarrived," the "unpublished"; these are the care-free irresponsibles whose hours are halcyon and whose endeavours have all the lure, all the recklessness of adventure. They are not recognized; they have made no standards for themselves, and if they play the saltimbanque and the charlatan nobody cares and nobody (except themselves) is affected. But the writers in question are the successful ones who have made a public and to whom some ten, twenty or a hundred thousand people are pleased to listen. You may believe if you choose that the novelist, of all workers, is independent - that he can write what he pleases, and that certainly, certainly he should never "write down to his readers" - that he should never consult them at all.

Book excerpt: Benjamin Franklin Norris, Jr. (March 5, 1870 - October 25, 1902) was an American journalist and sometime novelist during the Progressive Era, whose fiction was predominantly in the naturalist genre.His notable works include McTeague (1899), The Octopus: A Story of California (1901), and The Pit (1903).Frank Norris was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1870. His father, Benjamin, was a self-made Chicago businessman and his mother, Gertrude Glorvina Doggett, had a stage career. In 1884 the family moved to San Francisco where Benjamin went into real estate. In 1887, after the death of his brother and a brief stay in London, young Norris went to Academie Julian in Paris where he studied painting for two years and was exposed to the naturalist novels of Emile Zola.[7][8] Between 1890 and 1894 he attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he became acquainted with the ideas of human evolution of Darwin and Spencer that are reflected in his later writings. His stories appeared in the undergraduate magazine at Berkeley and in the San Francisco Wave. After his parents' divorce he went east and spent a year in the English Department of Harvard University. There he met Lewis E. Gates, who encouraged his writing. He worked as a news correspondent in South Africa (1895-96) for the San Francisco Chronicle, and then as editorial assistant for the San Francisco Wave (1896-97). He worked for McClure's Magazine as a war correspondent in Cuba during the Spanish-American War in 1898. He joined the New York City publishing firm of Doubleday & Page in 1899. During his time at the University of California, Berkeley, Norris was a brother in the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta, and was an originator of the Skull & Keys society.Because of his involvement with a prank during the Class Day Exercises in 1893, the annual alumni dinner held by each Phi Gamma Delta chapter still bears his name.In 1900 Frank Norris married Jeanette Black. They had a child in 1901. Norris died on October 25, 1902, of peritonitis from a ruptured appendix in San Francisco. This left The Epic of the Wheat trilogy unfinished.He was only 32. He is buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California.Charles Gilman Norris, the author's younger brother, became a well regarded novelist and editor. C.G. Norris was also the husband of the prolific novelist Kathleen Norris. The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley, houses the archives of all three writers."

Book excerpt: The late Frank Norris's literary essays, marshaled handsomely between covers, under the title "The Responsibilities of the Novelist," impress one, on the first browsing, with a sense of vague regret. Here is something that should not have been; yet one knows not at first exactly what nor why. But, as you read, the feeling grows that this book would never have appeared had the author lived to decide the question for himself. The essays are good-amazingly good, some of them; their sanity never fails; their simplicity and force lack nothing; they are fresh, leisurely, progressive, healthy. But they are young and uneven. Norris was a man who grew fast. There are five years between some of these essays, written, according to the bibliography in the back of the volume, only a few months apart. The book's entire contents was dashed off within two years, and in that time Norris grew ten. We venture the prediction that none of the essays in the present volume would have passed muster of this growing author for admission to his ranks of books. Already, had he lived till now, would the best and latest of them have seemed trivial and partial in his eyes. And yet, considered apart from the personality and rapid development of their writer, these essays are profitable. If they solve no problems, if they open no new fields, if they add nothing to the sum or the statement of truth, they at least restate familiar facts and conditions with singular clearness and force, delightful freshness, unerring selection, and complete sanity. And not the least of the pleasure they give is the melancholy contemplation of a mind that, had it survived, would inevitably have been in front of the literary movement the beginnings of which are already, in the opinion of many, at hand. We quote, as an example of Frank Norris's character and quality as a man of letters, the final paragraphs of his essay on the responsibilities of the novelist: "The Pulpit, the Press, and the Novel-these indisputably are the great moulders of public morals to-day. But the Pulpit speaks but once a week; the Press is read with lightning haste, and the morning news is waste-paper by noon. But the Novel goes into the home to stay. It is read word for word; is talked about, discussed; its influence penetrates every chink and corner of the family. "Yet novelists are not found wanting who write for money. I do not think this is an unfounded accusation. I do not think it asking too much of credulity. This would not matter if they wrote the Truth. But these gentlemen who are 'in literature for their own pocket every time' have discovered that for the moment the People have confounded the Wrong with the Right, and prefer that which is a lie to that which is true. 'Very well, then, ' say these gentlemen. 'If they want a lie, they shall have it'; and they give the People a lie in return for royalties.... -The Book Buyer: A Monthly Review of American and Foreign Literature, Volume 27

Download or read book Creating Realities written by Erhan Simsek and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business is woven into the very fabric of American life, yet rarely surfaces in the nation's literary history. Even in novels about business, it proves an elusive motif that fails to mirror actual business organizations. This book argues that literary representations of business remain ineffable because business serves potential aesthetic functions, subtly yet meaningfully impacting readers. Exploring the complex representation of business in realist, naturalist and modernist works, Erhan Simsek reveals these functions by analyzing how the motif intertwines with social developments, literary movements and author biographies. He thus illuminates the motif itself while highlighting the utility of a focus on the changing functions of literature.
Download or read book Why I Write written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times
