Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Congreve It has been thought unwise to burden the pages of this biography with excessive footnotes. They are used only where the source of material is not stated or implied in the text and for supplementary information. When the full title of a book has been given it is subsequently abbreviated, and well-known reference works are referred to by their short title whenever possible. Quotation, particularly from letters, has been liberally used when it has embodied a personal attitude. We become more aware of men's qualities and their relation with their fellows through their own words than by means of any account of what they have said. If we are interested in a man weprefer to listen to him and his friends when they discuss themselves than to any biographer's report, which is at best second hand. This biography would not have been written except for the suggestions of its subject and method of treatment by Sir Walter Raleigh, who was an inspiring guide and teacher. Much helpful advice, particularly with regard to source material, was also given by Professor Nichol Smith and Mr. Brett Smith. To several others who have assisted me with details and suggestions I must remain silently indebted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Alexander Pope Encyclopedia written by Pat Rogers and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-03-30 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander Pope (1688-1744) was the most important English poet of the 18th century, as well as an essayist, satirist, and critic. Many of his sayings are still quoted today. His Essay on Criticism shaped the aesthetic views of English Neoclassicism, while his Essay on Man reflected the moral views of the Enlightenment. He participated fully in the critical debates of his time and was one of the few poets who supported himself through his writing. This reference conveniently summarizes his life and works. Included are several-hundred alphabetically arranged entries on Pope's works, subjects that interested him, historical events that impacted Pope's life and work, cultural terms and categories, Pope's family members and acquaintances, major scholars and critics, and various other topics related to his writings. The entries reflect current scholarship and cite works for further reading. The encyclopedia also provides a chronology and concludes with a selected, general bibliography. Because of Pope's central importance to the Enlightenment, this book is also a useful companion to 18th-century literary and intellectual culture.

Download or read book A Reference Guide for English Studies written by Michael J. Marcuse and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious undertaking is designed to acquaint students, teachers, and researchers with reference sources in any branch of English studies, which Marcuse defines as "all those subjects and lines of critical and scholarly inquiry presently pursued by members of university departments of English language and literature.'' Within each of 24 major sections, Marcuse lists and annotates bibliographies, guides, reviews of research, encyclopedias, dictionaries, journals, and reference histories. The annotations and various indexes are models of clarity and usefulness, and cross references are liberally supplied where appropriate. Although cost-conscious librarians will probably consider the several other excellent literary bibliographies in print, such as James L. Harner's Literary Research Guide (Modern Language Assn. of America, 1989), larger academic libraries will want Marcuse's volume.-- Jack Bales, Mary Washington Coll.
