Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of a Literary Radical and Other Essays Randolph Bourne was born in Bloomfield, New Jersey, May 30, 1886. He died in New York, December 22, 1918. Between these two dates was packed one of the fullest, richest, and most significant lives of the younger generation. Its outward events can be summarized in a few words. Bourne went to the public schools in his native town, and then for some time earned his living as an assistant to a manufacturer of automatic piano music. In 1909 he entered Columbia, graduating in 1913 as holder of the Gilder Fellowship, which enabled him to spend a year of study and investigation in Europe. In 1911 he had begun contributing to The Atlantic Monthly, and his first book, "Youth and Life," a volume of essays, appeared in 1913.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Literary, Moral and Political Some people are subject to a certain delicacy of passion, which makes them extremely sensible to all the accidents of life, and gives them a lively joy upon every prosperous event, as well as a piercing grief, when they meet with misfortunes and adversity. Favours and good offices easily engage their friendship while the smallest injury provokes their resentment. Any honour or mark of distinction elevates them above measure; but they are as sensibly touched with contempt. People of this character have, no doubt, more lively enjoyments, as well as more pungent sorrows, than men of cool and sedate tempers but, I believe, when everything is balanced, there is no one, who would not rather be of the latter character, were he entirely master of his own disposition. Good or ill fortune Is very little at our disposal: and when a pe_r_son. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays: Lectures Delivered at Columbia University He was a wide reader, one who, from natural bent, dipped into the curious and out-oi-the-way corners of literature, as will be noticed in his references to other works in the course of the lectures, particularly to Row botham's picturesque and fascinating story of the forma tive period of music. Withal he was always in touch with contemporary affairs. With the true outlook of the poet he was fearless, individual, and even radical in his views. This Spirit, as indicated before, he carried into his lec tures, for he demanded of his pupils that above all they should be prepared to do their own thinking and reach their own conclusions. He was accustomed to say that we need in the United States, a public that shall be independent in its judgment on art and art products, that shall not be tied down to verdicts based on tradition and convention, but shall be prepared to reach conclusions through knowledge and sincerity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Round Table: A Collection of Essays on Literature, Men, and Manners The following work falls somewhat short of its title and original intention. It was proposed by my friend Mr. Hunt to publish a series of papers in the 'Examiner, ' in the manner of the early periodical essayists, the 'Spectator' and 'Tatler.' These papers were to be contributed by various persons on a variety of subjects; and Mr. Hunt, as the editor, was to take the characteristic or dramatic part of the work upon himself. I undertook to furnish occasional essays and criticisms; one or two other friends promised their assistance; but the essence of the work was to be miscellaneous. The next thing was to fix upon a title for it. After much doubtful consultation, that of 'The Round Table' was agreed upon as most descriptive of its nature and design. But our plan had been no sooner arranged and entered upon than Bonaparte landed at Frejus, et voila la Table Ronde dissoute. Our little congress was broken up as well as the great one; politics called off the attention of the editor from the belles lettres, and the task of continuing the work fell chiefly upon the person who was least able to give life and spirit to the original design.

Download or read book The Repeal of Reticence written by Rochelle Gurstein and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when America's faculties of taste and judgment—along with the sense of the sacred and shameful—have become utterly vacant, Rochelle Gurstein's The Repeal of Reticence delivers an important and troubling warning. Covering landmark developments in America's modern culture and law, she charts the demise of what was dismissively called "gentility" in the face of First Amendment triumphs for journalists, sex educators, and novelists—from Margaret Sanger's advocacy of birth control to Judge Woolsey's celebrated defense of Ulysses. Weaving together a study of the legal debates over obscenity and free speech with a cultural study of the critics and writers who framed the issues, Gurstein offers a trenchant reconsideration of the sacred value of privacy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latest Literary Essays and Addresses of James Russell Lowell But I should rather be inclined to say that it was his mind that was alienated from the present. Tu tensely and even vehemently engaged in the ques tion of the day, his politics were abstract and theoretic, and a quotation from Sophocles has as much weight with him as a constitutional precedent. His intellectual sympathies were Greek. His lan guage even has caught the accent of the ancient world. When he makes our English search her cofiers round, it is not for any home-made orna ments, and his commentators are fain to unravel some of his syntax by the help of the Greek or Latin grammar.

Download or read book Radical Legacies written by Arthur Redding and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-12-24 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What use is thinking? This study addresses the ways in which modern American thinkers have intervened in the public sphere and attempted to mediate relations between social and political institutions and cultural and intellectual production. Chapters on both well-known (Henry Adams, Langston Hughes, C. Wright Mills, Angela Davis) and neglected (Randolph Bourne, Mary McCarthy, Paul Goodman) public intellectuals considers how these figures have address a range of problems, including the dangers and difficulty of critical dissent thought during wartime, the contemporary crisis of the humanities under neoliberalism, the legacy of American anti-intellectualism, academic professionalism, and the perils of consumer culture and popular tastes. This book reviews in as critically sympathetic a manner as possible a select few of the minor and major currents of twentieth-century American radical thinking in order to see where they might take us, and how they inflect our current social and intellectual predicaments. Arguing that any "use-value" theory of intellectual production is limiting, Radical Legacies endeavors to maintain and expand a space and reassert an argument for the importance of sustained critical reflection on our collective dilemmas today. It assesses a practice of thought that is engaged, committed, involved, and timely, without being necessarily “practical” or even useful.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Round Table, Vol. 2: A Collection of Essays on Literature, Men, and Manners The general principle of the difference between the two heads is this - The forehead of the Greek is square and upright, and, as it were, overhangs the rest of the face, except the nose, which is a continuation of it almost in an even line. In the Negro or African, the tip of the nose is the' most projecting part of the face; and from that point the features retreat back, both upwards towards the forehead, and downwards to the chin. This last form is an approximation to the shape of the head of the animal, as the former bears the strong est stamp of humanity.
