Download or read book Stories of Roland Classic Reprint written by H. E. Marshall and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Roland The book from which these stories are taken is called the Song of Roland, for when the tales were first written down they were written as poetry. That was many hundreds of years ago. They were then set to music and sung to the sound of the harp by the minstrels, who strolled from place to place, singing of love and death, of battle and reward. For in those days, long long ago, when there were not many books and few could read, it was from the songs of the minstrels that the people learned the history of their country and the stories of their brave men. The stories were told from minstrel to minstrel, from father to son, and were often changed in the telling.

Download or read book Fable and Song in Italy Classic Reprint written by Ellen Mary Clerke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fable and Song in Italy The aim of this little volume is twofold. First, to trace out some of the influences acting on the more popular forms of Italian song; and secondly, to offer to English readers, in the shape of translated extracts, specimens of Italian poets whose works difficulties of language have hitherto rendered inaccessible to the general public. In carrying out the first part of my programme, I have specially dwelt in the early chapters on the survival of classical myths in popular tradition, and on their trans formation and modification at the hands of minstrels and poets. As Boiardo is the great exemplar, among the more polished bards, of this species of assimilation, I have illustrated it by following out some of the episodes in which he has thus blended antique and mediaeval mythology, so as to present them in consecutive and intelligible form. It is only in this fashion that the chivalric epic can be rendered readable to contempo raries, since its prolixity and discursiveness make it wearisome to pursue continuously as a whole. Its ori ginal composition for piecemeal recitation places it in a totally different category from modern literature, addressed primarily to the mind through the eye. In the chapters on Giusti and Manzoni I have tried to emphasise their position as the two great influences on the growth of modern Italian, the one through his verse, the other through his prose, the unapproached and unapproachable masterpieces of their respective spheres of art. My second object has been in the selection of passages for translation, to Open up as far as possible new ground, choosing works that have not as yet been naturalised in English literature. Since there is no version of the Orlando Innamorato in our language, I have drawn largely on it for passages illustrative of my subject, especially as its beauties are, even in Italian, disguised by the obsoleteness of the language, and it has therefore the less to lose in the change of dress. In my selections from Ariosto, again, I have borrowed more extensively from his sparkling verse-letters than from his better known Orlando Furioso, since the latter is available in a very adequate English translation.

Download or read book Stories in Song and Other Poems Classic Reprint written by William Grant Brooks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories in Song and Other Poems As to the origin of poetry the angler and the poet agree; and without doubt they have spoken the truth. Poetry is a thing of God, and the poetic genius is a gift; it stirs the best in our hearts, because the best has brought it forth it stimulates to lofty deeds because it springs from lofty conceptions. Poetry better than prose reveals the writer. Imagine if you will the muse stirring the embers of thought and feeling, directing the pen, but conception and expression are ever moulded and colored by the writer's characteristics. In poetry as in painting methods of expression differ widely. Schools of poetry like schools of philosophy have gathered about those whose productions have made them eminent. Pope, Dryden's pupil, had many copyists. The Wordsworth school is still in exist ence, Longfellow's style and method have many imitators, and we might mention many more of whom this is true. Shakespeare and Milton have had their imitators, but perhaps they have hardly been at the head of a school, for the reason that they have stood alone, inimitable, the one in dramatic and the other in epic poetry.

Even before the child has learned the alphabet, his mother's lullaby or his nurse's song may have begun the attuning of his ear to the melodies of verse, and the quickening of his mind with pleas ant fancies. As he grows older, his first reading should be made attractive to him by its ease and entertainment. The reading lesson should never be hard or dull; nor should it be made the occasion for instruction in any specific branch of knowledge. The essential thing is that in beginning to learn to read the child. Should like what he reads or hears read, and that the matter should be of a sort to fix itself in his mind without wearisome effort. He should be led on by pleasure from step to step.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fables and Rhymes AEsop and Mother Goose The nineteenth century has been a period of wonderful changes. Discoveries and inventions of vast importance have followed each other in rapid succession. Many things which a few years ago were enjoyed exclusively by the rich, are to-day common among the poor; but from none of the improved conditions of life is it possible for us to secure greater benefit than from the present accessibility of good books. In the fields of literature, once reserved for only a favored few, all men to-day meet on nearly the same plane and may share, at least in part, its treasures. Next to the alphabet, the Invention of greatest value is that of printing. Certainly a large part of what is called an education - even the knowledge of facts, which is often mistaken for real education - is gained directly from books. In educating our children, It is then of the first importance to teach them to read, and with the opportunities for obtaining the best in literature constantly increasing we look to the primary school, to which is entrusted the entire education of so large a percentage of all of our children, to teach them not only to read, but to read easily, so that they will like to read, and thus form a habit of reading. The wise teacher will not be led astray by the example of a few superficial teachers, who, through a desire to find a short cut to culture, are gaining the semblance rather than the substance by at once plunging the young pupil, without previous preparation, into the midst of literature. She will content herself for a time with teaching her pupils the art of reading, with giving them the ability to find out what the printed word says, and encouraging them to discover for themselves the thought concealed therein. If she succeeds in accomplishing this, she has at least placed in the pupil's hands a key to the storehouse of knowledge. But while learning to read is the first and most important step In the direction of an education, and while the habit of reading is perhaps singly the best educational habit, a taste for good reading is certainly an acquisition the value of which can hardly be over estimated.
