Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, 1864, Vol. 29 The theory and primary object of the Lit., if we read aright the twenty-eight volumes before us, is simply to picture, fully and faith fully, College-life - to express the feelings and hopes which bind to gether five hundred men in a common bond of brotherhood - to tell you, briefly, how our little world moves on, and, by affording a field for the interchange of thought, to cherish in us all a warm solicitude for the best welfare of the College and ourselves. Such' is its surely unpretentious aim, and such it is in distinction from all other periodi cals of the world outside. We aspire not with Blackwood, the Edin burgh, or a host of imitators, to delight or astound you, periodically, with profound disquisitions on agitated questions in science, literature, and the arts - with tales of thrilling interest, or with essays of match less grace; but we aim to interest you in themes which, if you are act ing your part aright here, you cannot fail to be interested in-sub jects pertaining to our rights, our interests, our progress.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 29: February, 1864 It is evening, and within my room, which the faint light that may yet linger in the West does not reach, I sit alone - alone, except for my fire. And no slight exception is that, since in it alone I have light, and heat, and company; of what or whom else could as much he said? There in its arched cavern, it is the only thing visible, save where it teaches light to counterfeit a gloom in that faint luminous shadow on the wall overhead. Above it play the faint blue ames, that shift and dart like nimble spirits. Over its surface lie the yet nu lighted coals, seen only as dark spots against the ruddy light that shines up between. Down through their openings the glow grows brighter and deeper, marked by the faintly shaded surfaces of growing heat, until ending in the clear, intense light Of the innermost depths. And into those depths I sit gazing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Literary Epiphany in the Novel 1850 1950 written by S. Kim and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies literary epiphany as a modality of character in the British and American novel. Epiphany presents a significant alternative to traditional models of linking the eye, the mind, and subject formation, an alternative that consistently attracts the language of spirituality, even in anti-supernatural texts. This book analyzes how these epiphanies become "spiritual" and how both character and narrative shape themselves like constellations around such moments. This study begins with James Joyce, 'inventor' of literary epiphany, and Martin Heidegger, who used the ancient Greek concepts behind 'epiphaneia' to re-define the concept of Being. Kim then offers readings of novels by Susan Warner, George Eliot, Edith Wharton, Virginia Woolf, and William Faulkner, each addressing a different form of epiphany.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shadows, Vol. 21: The Creighton University Literary Magazine; December, 1929 The place is jammed with men and women from all walks of life. The scrub woman and the social leader; the eleva tor boy and the statistician; the bootblack and the business executive; all on an equal basis now; all straining every nerve and muscle to get the latest report from their common enemy - the ticker; the ticker which was allowing the bottom to fall out of everything. What did it matter whether it was the scrub woman who held two shares of General Motors or the charming dowager who had fifty thousand shares of Cities Service? Both were being torn loose from their earthly possessions. The former, perhaps, of all she had managed to scrape together in a lifetime; the latter, parting with a goodly sum of a huge fortune. The scraping of feet and the low hum of excited voices subsides. The clerk is coming with the latest results - every body brightens up. Perhaps it is not as bad as it seems and the avalanche has been checked. But, no! Cities Service down another 20 points; General Motors down 11 points; U. S. Steel 5 points lower. The saturation point for the withholding of human emo tions has been reached. The little old wornout scrub woman tries to check a sob, but cannot. The dowager breaks out in hysterical weeping. Over in a far comer a distinguished looking gentlemen is seen to grope blindly about, crushed and crying like a baby.

Download or read book What the Victorians Made of Romanticism written by Tom Mole and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful and elegantly written book examines how the popular media of the Victorian era sustained and transformed the reputations of Romantic writers. Tom Mole provides a new reception history of Lord Byron, Felicia Hemans, Sir Walter Scott, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and William Wordsworth—one that moves beyond the punctual historicism of much recent criticism and the narrow horizons of previous reception histories. He attends instead to the material artifacts and cultural practices that remediated Romantic writers and their works amid shifting understandings of history, memory, and media. Mole scrutinizes Victorian efforts to canonize and commodify Romantic writers in a changed media ecology. He shows how illustrated books renovated Romantic writing, how preachers incorporated irreligious Romantics into their sermons, how new statues and memorials integrated Romantic writers into an emerging national pantheon, and how anthologies mediated their works to new generations. This ambitious study investigates a wide range of material objects Victorians made in response to Romantic writing—such as photographs, postcards, books, and collectibles—that in turn remade the public’s understanding of Romantic writers. Shedding new light on how Romantic authors were posthumously recruited to address later cultural concerns, What the Victorians Made of Romanticism reveals new histories of appropriation, remediation, and renewal that resonate in our own moment of media change, when once again the cultural products of the past seem in danger of being forgotten if they are not reimagined for new audiences.

Download or read book Beyond Jihad written by Lamin Sanneh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the last 1400 years, Islam has grown from a small band of followers on the Arabian peninsula into a global religion of over a billion believers. How did this happen? The usual answer is that Islam spread by the sword-believers waged jihad against rival tribes and kingdoms and forced them to convert. Lamin Sanneh argues that this is far from the whole story. Beyond Jihad examines the origin and evolution of the African pacifist tradition in Islam, beginning with an inquiry into the faith's origins and expansion in North Africa and its transmission across trans-Saharan trade routes to West Africa. The book focuses on the ways in which, without jihad, the religion spread and took hold, and what that tells us about the nature of religious and social change. At the heart of this process were clerics who used religious and legal scholarship to promote Islam. Once this clerical class emerged, it offered continuity and stability in the midst of political changes and cultural shifts, helping to inhibit the spread of radicalism, and subduing the urge to wage jihad. With its policy of religious and inter-ethnic accommodation, this pacifist tradition took Islam beyond traditional trade routes and kingdoms into remote districts of the Mali Empire, instilling a patient, Sufi-inspired, and jihad-negating impulse into religious life and practice. Islam was successful in Africa, Sanneh argues, not because of military might but because it was made African by Africans who adapted it to a variety of contexts.

Download or read book Memories of Lincoln and the Splintering of American Political Thought written by Shawn J. Parry-Giles and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the Civil War, Republicans and Democrats who advocated conflicting visions of American citizenship could agree on one thing: the rhetorical power of Abraham Lincoln’s life. This volume examines the debates over his legacy and their impact on America’s future. In the thirty-five years following Lincoln’s assassination, acquaintances of Lincoln published their memories of him in newspapers, biographies, and edited collections in order to gain fame, promote partisan aims, champion his hardscrabble past and exalted rise, and define his legacy. Shawn Parry-Giles and David Kaufer explore how style, class, and character affected these reminiscences. They also analyze the ways people used these writings to reinforce their beliefs about citizenship and presidential leadership in the United States, with specific attention to the fissure between republicanism and democracy that still exists today. Their study employs rhetorical and corpus research methods to assess more than five hundred reminiscences. A novel look at how memories of Lincoln became an important form of political rhetoric, this book sheds light on how divergent schools of U.S. political thought came to recruit Lincoln as their standard-bearer.
