Download or read book The Waverley Manual written by Sidney W. Cornish and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Waverley Manual: Or Hand-Book of the Chief Characters, Incidents, and Descriptions in the Waverley Novels, With Critical Breviates From Various Sources Scott, both as a man and a writer, seems to be in danger of passing - we cannot conceive why - out of the knowledge of the rising generation. Doubtless there will be found at most railway stations cheap copies of Scott's Poems and of the Waverley Novels, which travellers purchase, one by one, that they may read them on the journey as they read any worthless trash, and then throw them away. But the instances are rare, we suspect, in which, even among educated persons, young men or young women under five and twenty, know any thing at all, either of what Scott wrote, or of what he did. Now, we look upon this fact, if a fact it be, as a great public misfortune. You cannot find a surer test of the habits of thought in a people than by taking note of the light literature which is most in favour with the young of its edu cated classes. When we find such great works as Waverley, Guy Hamming, and the Antiquary, cast aside, in order that young ladies and young gentle men may break their hearts over the sorrows of bigamists and adulterers, we confess that the im pression made upon our minds is not very attering - we do not say to the tastes, but to the moral sense of the age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Waverley Synopses: A Guide to the Plots and Characters of Scott's "Waverley Novels" The kindly reception accorded the au thor's earlier Shaksperian Synopses and Synopses of Dickens's Novels renders an extended preface to a similar work on Scott unnecessary. This mighty magician who has rolled back the current of time and con jured up before our living senses the men and manners of days which have long since passed away, will ever remain a vital force in letters. A review of his work, such as the present handbook endeavors to af ford, only serves to emphasize the towering genius of the man. His stories cover a pe riod of no less than: seven c'fentu'rim; they introduce more than fifteen hundred speak ing characters, from every.1valk in life king and peasant, countess and fishwoman, Crusader and Highland. Medieval baron and modern man of law, courtier and wandering minstrel, proud lady and simple lassie - and in every period and so ciety Scott seems equally at home.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Waverley Novels: Waverley; The Monastery The Author has also ventured to make some emendations of a different character, which, without being such apparent deviations from the original stories as to disturb the reader's old associations, will, he thinks, add something to the spirit of the dialogue, narrative or description. These consist in occasional pruning where the age is redundant, compres sion where the style is loose, i sioii of vigour where it is la id, the exchange of less forcible for more appropriate epit ets slight alterations in Short, like the last touches of an artist, which contribute to heighten and finish the picture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare Studied in Three Plays "Our dramatic literature is our greatest literature. It is the best thing we have done. Dante may overtop Milton, but Shakespeare surpasses both. He is our finest achievement; his plays our noblest possession; the things in the world most worth thinking about. To live daily in his company, to study his works with minute and loving care - in no spirit of pedantry searching for double endings, but in order to discover their secret, and to make the spoken word tell upon the hearts of man and woman - this might have been expected to produce great intellectual if not moral results."

This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Waverley, or 'Tis Sixty Years Since, Vol. 1 of 2 To this slight attempt at a sketch of ancient Scottish manners, the public have been more attentive than the Author durst have hoped or expected. He has heard, with a mixture of satisfaction and humility, his work ascribed to more than one respectable name. Con siderations, which seem weighty in his particular situ ation, prevent his releasing these gentlemen from sus picion, by placing his own name in the title-page so that, for the present at least, it must remain uncertain, whether waverley be the work of a poet or a critic, a lawyer or a clergyman, or whether the writer, to use Mrs. Malaprop's phrase, be like Cerberus - three gentlemen at once. The Author, as he is uncon scious of any thing in the work itself (except perhaps its frivolity) which prevents its finding an acknowledg ed father, leaves it to the candour of the public to choose among the many circumstances peculiar to different situations in life, such as may induce him to suppress his name on the present occasion. He may be a writer new to publication, and unwilling to avow a character to which he is unaccustomed or he may be a hackneyed author, who is ashamed of too fre quent appearance, and employs this mystery, as the heroine of the old comedy used her mask, to attract the attention of those to whom her face had become too familiar. He may be a man of a grave profession, to whom the reputation of being a novel-writer may be prejudicial; or he may be a man of fashion, to whom writing of any kind might appear pedantic. He.
