Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Humours of Irish Life The first of the notable humorists of Irish life was William Maginn, one of the most versatile, as well as brilliant of Irish men of letters. He was born in Cork in 1793, and was a classical schoolmaster there in early manhood, having secured the degree of LL.D. at Trinity College, Dublin, when only 23 years of age. The success in "Blackwood's Magazine" of some of his translations of English verse into the Classics induced him, however, to give up teaching and to seek his fortunes as a magazine writer and journalist in London, at a time when Lamb, De Quincey, Lockhart and Wilson gave most of their writings to magazines. Possessed of remarkable sparkle and finish as a writer, considering with what little effort and with what rapidity he poured out his political satires in prose and verse, and his rollicking magazine sketches, it was no wonder that he leaped into popularity at a bound. He was the original of the Captain Shandon of Pendennis and though Thackeray undoubtedly attributed to him a political venality of which he was never guilty, whilst describing him during what was undoubtedly the latter and least reputable period in his career, it is evident that he considered Maginn to be, as he undoubtedly was, a literary figure of conspicuous accomplishment and mark in the contemporary world of letters.

Download or read book Irish Life and Humour in Anecdote and Story Classic Reprint written by William Harvey and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Life and Humour in Anecdote and Story "Scottish Life and Character in Anecdote and Story" was received with so much favour, alike by press and public, that the author formed the idea of preparing a similar volume illustrative of the wit and humour so characteristic of the Land of the Shamrock. This has now been done, and the author hopes that the book will be as cordially welcomed as was the earlier work. In its preparation many volumes dealing with the subject have been laid under contribution. Newspaper and magazine articles have been drawn upon freely. Of his indebtedness to all these the author here makes due acknowledgment. His endeavour has been to illustrate the main features of Irish character, and as a general rule he has given the anecdotes exactly as he found them - without comment or observation - leaving them to speak for themselves. A notable feature of the book is the series of splendid illustrations in colour. The pictures are reproduced with remarkable fidelity from studies by the late Erskine Nicol, R.S.A., the Scottish painter, who was so eminently successful in his interpretation of Irish life and character. The author hopes that the volume - compiled by a Scot, and illustrated by a Scot - will give pleasure to Irishmen at home and abroad, as well as to many who cannot claim to have been born in the Emerald Isle.

Download or read book Charles Kingsley written by Jonathan Conlin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Novelist, poet, Anglican priest, and controversialist, Charles Kingsley (1819–75) epitomizes the bustling Victorian man of faith and letters, a prolific polymath as ready to break a lance with John Henry Newman over Christian doctrine as he was to preach to schoolchildren on the virtues of manly, physical struggle. Kingsley’s The Water-Babies and Westward Ho! were best-sellers which became classics of children’s literature. Kingsley has come to epitomize the Victorian age. On closer inspection, Kingsley is harder to categorize: a socialist who was also an imperialist, a Chartist revolutionary who was Queen Victoria’s favourite novelist, a natural theologian who popularized Darwin, a priest who celebrated sex as sacrament. Kingsley only appears straightforward if you consider him one piece at a time. The debates he shaped remain with us today: faith and sexuality, economics and exploitation, race and identity. The aim of this book is to present the whole man: to consider the public crusades for public health alongside the most private fantasies of sexual intercourse; to consider the ardent imperialist alongside the Darwinist. It will be of interest to all students of Victorian studies, as well as of British/Imperial history, church history, and especially the history of science.
