Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Study of English Poetry Evidently Authority, if there be any such power, would need only to speak once and for all but suggestion is a humbler form of persuasion and must be clear and persistent. Unfortunately it is also dangerous to be too clear or too persistent: and I have realised this so strongly that 1 fear to have done my beliefs less than justice. My chief feeling, in parting from the book, is one of anxiety lest I have stated them, vital and moment ous as they seem to me, in too slight a form and little of and illustration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poet's Walk: An Introduction to English Poetry Whence then arises, and how is perfected the process of disillusion? How comes it that the pleasure, welcomed so freely and gladly in our infancy, too often sinks, as our faculties enlarge and our eyes grow clearer, into an odious and insipid task? It arises in the first place, no doubt, from the causes already mentioned; but it is also perhaps fostered by a certain narrowness and infelicity of method that one too often finds employed even by those who have the wit to see that poetry should be gently offered, not violently thrust upon the young.

Download or read book English Poems written by Walter Cochrane Bronson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Poems: Old English and Middle English Periods, 450-1550 This volume is the first in order, although the last to appear, in a series of four volumes of English Poems, in tended especially for use with college classes. The aim and method of the series as a whole have been set forth in the prefaces to the other volumes and need not be repeated here, the less because the present volume differs considerably from the rest. It cannot well be used separately, as the later volumes can, but derives its chief value from its connection with the series: for the thorough study of Old English and Middle English poetry it is quite inadequate, but in an introductory survey course in English literature it may serve a useful end. To increase the value of the book for this purpose, some specimens of the early drama are given. Although plays are elsewhere excluded from the series and some of those here included exceed the strict chrono logical limits of the period.

Download or read book A Study of English and American Poets written by John Scott Clark and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of English and American Poets: A Laboratory Method The kindly reception accorded to the author's Study of English Prose Writers, published in 1898, seems to warrant the appearance of this complementary volume, which was foreshadowed in the preface to the Prose Writers. As the method involved is somewhat distinctive, it seems wise to make some repetitions from that preface. A certain amount of repetition will be found, also, in the chapters on Milton, Lowell, and Holmes. It is generally admitted by teachers of English that, after one has learned to avoid the conimon violations of clearness, force, precision, and the other requisites of good style, he may best improve his own use of the mother-tongue by studying the English Classics. But how is one to study the English classics so as to obtain positive and appreciable results? This volume represents an attempt to answer that question so far as it applies to the poets concerned. Certainly, the question has not been answered satisfactorily by the numerous text-books on English literature nor by the countless editions of English classics with notes. To memorize biographical data or the generalities and negations of criticism, or to trace out Obscure allusions or doubtful meanings, is certainly not to study a writer in any broad or fruitful way. While the method here offered may not be ideal, it is not merely theoretical. It has been rigidly and continuously tested in the author's class-room during the last twelve years by means of a partially developed manuscript, printed privately for the use of his own pupils, and again in his published volume on the Prose Writers.

Download or read book Studies in English Poetry written by Joseph Payne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in English Poetry: With Short Biographical Sketches and Notes Intended as a Text-Book for the Higher Classes in Schools In compiling "Select Poetry for Children," the Editor's aim was to assist in laying the foundation of a pure and just taste, by interesting the mind, at an early age, in poetry of a superior order - high-toned, beautiful, simple, but not childish. The success which that little volume has met with induces him to believe that the object was, in some degree, appreciated. The present work is intended to supply materials, in the specimens themselves, for the higher cultivation of the youthful taste; and by brief explanatory and critical annotations on particular passages, to develop their spirit and beauty, and to make the learning of poetry in schools - what it has hitherto but rarely been - a valuable auxiliary to the study of our mother tongue. Such a study as is here indicated involves, however, not merely an acquaintance with the general meaning of words and their grammatical relations, but a nice investigation into their origin and history - the vicissitudes they have undergone, and their present significance and power. Inquiries of this kind cannot, of course, be extensively pursued at school, but it is well to arouse the pupil to a sense of their importance, and thus prepare his mind for that sympathy with noble thoughts displayed in exquisite language, which is productive of some of our purest enjoyments. The more general diffusion, moreover, of good taste by means of early cultivation, would probably so elevate the public standard as to suppress entirely such offences as are now frequently committed against it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History Told by English Poets It is hoped that this volume will find a place as a reading-book in connection with the study of English history. Poets are spirited historians; they enlist imagination and sympathy in the cause of the fading past. They turn the task of memory to pastime. They are not always accurate, but neither are more sedate chroniclers. The dulness of a record was never yet proof of its veracity. The London populace of Elizabethan times learned English history from the stage. The reigns of the Plantagenets, the Wars of the Roses, and the reigns of the Tudors were set forth in a long series of chronicle plays and historical dramas. In these, as in the lyrics and ballads that more commonly express the Stuart reigns, the tendency is to concentrate attention on royal and noble personages rather than on the life of the nation as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles and Progress of English Poetry: With Representative Masterpieces and Notes Swinburne, and carried down to the present day, will, we are confident, be of rare and inspiring interest and value to teachers and pupils alike. In this latter effort our labors have been lightened by the generous cooperation of several of the most representative contemporary poets. We have, in general, adhered to the plan of the former book. The design is to provide within the covers of one volume what is usually set forth in three volumes: (1) an introduction to the Principles of Poetry; (2) a survey of the Progress of English Poetry by its periods, together with critical sketches of the lives and works of the poets chosen as representative; (3) as much as possible of the poetry commonly read in prep aration for entrance to American universities, and such other poems as are illustrative of successive literary periods and adapted to the requirements of an introductory course in Eng lish masterpieces; (4) such notes as will aid the pupil in his study of the poems and increase his ability to appreciate and understand poetry not thus annotated. For our former prefatory essay on the principles of poetry, intended not primarily for use in class but for teachers, to to be retailed to younger pupils as occasion offers and discre tion dictates, we have substituted here a distinctively ele mentary Introduction to the Study of Poetry. This Intro duction covers only such topics as are essential to the informa tion of high school pupils. It aims to present the material as briefly and simply as possible, but still with something of the detail befitting a subject of wide scope, something of the explanation required by pupils unfamiliar with the study, and something of the literary sympathy and delight that cannot be conveyed in a categorical and dry-as-dust statement. If the student is encouraged to make constant reference to the illustrative poems mentioned in the Introduction, he will learn to apply the principles and will derive keener enjoyment from poetry better understood. At the request of teachers the more comprehensive Principles of Poetry mentioned above will presently be republished in enlarged and independent form.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Poetry The contents of this volume originally formed part of a course of lectures which were given some four years ago in connection with the Cambridge University Extension, and afterwards before an English audience at Dresden. The interest which the subject elicited on these occasions has made me venture to hope that a few readers may be found, no less sympathetic and indulgent than my former hearers. I have left almost everything as it was written, instead of attempting to recast the whole into what might be thought a form more suitable for publication, although I am aware that much which in a lecture may be allowable, and even attractive, is apt to appear crude, superficial, and incoherent in a book. I trust that the didactic and familiar tone, which one naturally assumes as a lecturer, will not be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Poems From Chaucer to Kipling Edited All teachers are of one mind as regards the impor tance of a continuous study of English literature during the years of preparation for college, as well as throughout the college course. It is generally recognized that the stream of English literature is not a Jordan into which we may dip seven times and depart with new bodies. A close study Of the English classics should be not only a means of intellectual development, but should lead to a love of the best books, - a love which shall be to the student as the very breath of his nostrils. There is room, we believe, in the curricula Of secondary schools for a book of poems which shall serve as a link between the earlier studies in English and the work required for entrance to college. It is hoped, also, that this book will be found useful in the freshman year in many colleges as an introduction to the study of English poetry. The brief sketch of English literature prefixed to the volume which attempts to do no more than to stake off the land marks may with profit be studied carefully at the outset by more advanced students.
