These were the words of Lord Beaconsfield, and with them he prefixed his description of the personal appearance of Isaac D'Israeli; but we hardly need the dictum of our greatest statesman to convince ourselves that at all events every honest literature-lover takes a very real interest in the individuality of those men whose names are perpetually on his lips.

Download or read book Word Portraits Character Sketches of Famous Men and Women Classic Reprint written by Maximilian Harden and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Word Portraits Character Sketches of Famous Men and Women The extraordinary influence and power of Maximilian Harden's pen are very largely due to the fact that throughout his brilliant career as an essayist and publicist he has always held aloof from all political party phraseology, to his absolute fearlessness in the expression of his opinions, and to his ready and poignant wit. An extraordinarily well-read scholar - in many languages and on most subjects - his style of composition, a marshalling of long rows of cc-ordinated sentences, bristling with quotations from the classics of all nations and replete with quaint similia, makes delightful reading in the original German. The attempt, however, to reproduce in English the author's peculiarly intricate and highly ornate verbal structure may cause a somewhat stilted effect on the eye and the ear of those attuned to a terser form of descriptive prose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The world has always loved the details of a man who respects men who are celebrated." These were the words of Lord Beaconsfield, and in them he symbolized his description of Isaac D’Israel’s personal appearance; but we do not need the speech of our greatest official to convince ourselves that in all cases every sincere book lover has a genuine interest in each of those men whose names remain on his lips. It is not enough for such a person to become acquainted with their writings. It is not enough for him that the News of Elijah, for example, can be memorized, but he feels that he must also be able to sit on Christ's playing field with a “lame boy,” even years later. to speed up the Garden gardens with a gentle-faced scholar, before being told to make the thoughts of the Lamb his own. Best but not the whole idea most of us have about the true personality of our great British writers. The almost identical beauty of Sidney's femininity, as well as the sharp eyes and papa's razor-sharp face, will probably easily be seen as Drs. Johnson; but taking on many themes even a man who has been widely studied may be forgiven if, among the fragments of rumor and abstract ideas he may come across at unusual times, he can easily awaken the ghosts of these men who wrote their books. he has learned, and in his house he has become a zealous pilgrim.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Gallery of Literary Portraits The Author of the following Sketches is aware that lie may be accused of exaggeration and extravagance, particularly in his panegyrics of the various characters he has attempted to pourtray. He has only to plead, in mitigation of sentence, that his praise is perfectly sincere; that the men he has selected are, in his judgment, the leading lights - the decora et tutamina - of their age; that some of them are less known and less appreciated than they deserve; and that he is not afraid, once for all, to avow himself, even in this late age, a "Hero-worshipper," and to avow his conviction that, even now, there are many heroes. Perhaps the life of every thinking man may be divided into three eras - the era of admiration, the era of action, and the era of repose. Should this division be esteemed correct, the Author would beg leave, as an additional apology, to suggest that, in the following work, he has garnered up the results of his young love and wonder for the masterpieces of his country's genius; that, with it, one mental period of his history is closing, and that it is for the public to decide whether he be encouraged to gird up his loins for some other more manlike, more solid, and strenuous achievement.
