Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Criticism at a Venture As a rule, criticism emanates either from heights of academic wisdom or knowledge, or from fellow-members of a coterie. Or school, or fellowship. This volume has no such origin. The writer knew practically none of the poets personally who are discussed here one, a youth killed in France at the outset of a brilliant career, was a friend of the rest none were more than acquaintance or chance correspondent, and scarcely any that.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aspects of Fiction: And Other Ventures in Criticism French literature has not a little of the mod eration and of the charm of Greek literature. It is not violent; it is not boisterous, even; it is never freakish. It has balance and order and a broad sanity. It has an unfailing sense of style. It has lightness of touch, and it has also and always intellectual seriousness. The literature is like the language; and Voltaire declared that what was not clear was not French. And the language itself is the fit in strument of the people who use it and who have refined it for their needs - a people logi cal beyond all others, gifted in mathematics, devoid of hypocrisy, law-abiding, governed by the social instinct, inheritors of the Latin tra dition and yet infused with the Celtic spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Founders of Old Testament Criticism: Biographical, Descriptive, and Critical Studies The present volume contains a series of pictures of eminent Old Testament critics from the beginning of the critical movement to the present day, with an attempt in each case to estimate the services of the subject of the picture. It is hoped that it may be not only interesting but instructive, and may-tend to remove some current mistakes and misconceptions. Let me mention a few of these. Criticism, it is said by some, is a recent invention; it is arrogant to pretend that it has reached any final or even approximate results. Criticism, say others, is of purely German origin; it is foolish to import what has no roots in our own mental history. Criticism, says yet another school of writers, is purely rationalistic; it has no interest in, and can be of no considerable service to, positive theological truth. Criticism, say a few other respected but isolated observers, is narrow in its methods; it goes on grinding for ever at the same mill, and needs an almost complete reconstruction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from "Higher Criticism" What Is It, and Where Does It Lead Us? My Dear Mr. Mason, It is now many years ago since you first pressed on me, as on your other pupils, that wise maxim of the Men of the Great Synagogue, "Be cautious in judgment." This is a principle that cannot be too rigidly insisted on in every branch of theological criticism, though it would seem that on many hands it is held nowadays in scant esteem. Deep and hearty is my gratitude for your guidance and example in the application of this principle to the Hebrew Bible, and indeed for all the lessons of far past years, in which I, as one of a host of pupils, now scattered over England, and far beyond England, learned to approach the Oracles of Israel under the guidance of one who brought to the interpretation of the Sacred Books alike an unsurpassed scholarship, the keenest appreciation of literary beauty and a profound reverence for the Divine authority of Scripture. I rejoice to take this opportunity of publicly expressing a feeling cherished so long. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quarterly Review, Vol. 172: January and April, 1891 We venture to say of this description of Plunket that, although it might be diflicult to take exception to any single expression in it, the criticism conveys upon the whole a too depreciatory judgment. Even from the notes to Mr. Lecky's own volumes evidence can be adduced which shows Plunket to have been a man of finer genius, of more ardent nature, and more varied talent, than this picture would lead us to suppose It 1s cemin that every allusion 1n the memoirs of his contemporaries to this great orator and lawyer, of whom Lord John Russell has stated that he excelled all the orators he had ever listened to.

Munro, as one of the great luminaries among English students of the Latin Poets in the nineteenth century. I now turn to the subject of this lecture. I fear that it is somewhat technical in character, and possibly many of my hearers might have wished that I had selected some theme of more general interest. I can only plead in defence that it is difficult to say anything which is at all new upon a literary subject, while in the field of criticism there are some interesting developments.

Download or read book Why Startups Fail written by Tom Eisenmann and published by Currency. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contemporary Review, Vol. 4: January-April, 1867 He 18 constrained to add, however, that as yet there has been no example of this union. The two elements have mingled in different proportions in many writers. N 0 one has yet produced from the same pen the highest masterpieces. Mr. Browning might, we think, have pointed to the wonderful myriad-minded objectivity of the plays of Shakspere as contrasted with the intense subjectivity of the sonnets, as the nearest approach in the history of literature to the union or succession of which he speaks.' We venture to express the hope that the passing notice that such a thing was possible implies that he himself was aiming at it that he thought, at least, that he might one day thus complete his task. Few gifts would be more precious than a. Book in which he would lay aside the mask for once, resist the temptation to add to the endless series of his Dramatis Personae, and tell us, as Mr. Tennyson has done in In Memoriam, what he himself has thought, and felt, and believed on the problems of man's life and of the universe. One great charm of his later poems is, as we shall see, that they approximate more closely to this excellence than did the earlier.
