Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Literature, Vol. 4 To fawn, to crouch, to wait, to ride, to run, To spend, to give, to want, to be undone. In Ireland he saw a different state of things. The poets might almost be described as the patrons, for theirs it was to distribute praise or dispraise in poems, the which, says Spenser, are held in so high regard and estimation amongst them that none dare displease them, for feare to runne into reproach through their Offense, and be made infamous in the mouths of all men. Their compositions were sung at all feasts and meetings by other persons, and these also, to his surprise, receive great rewards and reputation. Certain it is, though strange, that Edmund Spenser, had he been the least hard in the pettiest principality of Ireland, instead of being the first poet of the monarch of Great Britain, would not have died of hunger. Neglected and starving in Westminster, may he not have regretted his political efforts to destroy the one national organism which above all others had ever generously encouraged the representatives of liter ature?

Download or read book The Cabinet of Irish Literature Vol 1 written by Charles A. Read and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cabinet of Irish Literature, Vol. 1: Selections From the Works of the Chief Poet, Orators, and Prose Writers of Ireland, With Biographical Sketches and Literary Notices But it is not the ancient literature or the elder generations of Irish litte'rateurs that alone have been neglected by the Irish people. There are few Irishmen, I venture to think, who have any conception of the number of well-known literary names which belong to Ireland. Accustomed to read and hear of many writers as belonging to English literature, we are liable to forget their connection with Ireland; and thus many eminent authors pass for being English who were born on Irish soil. Apart, however, from this consideration, the want has long been felt for a work in which the prose, the poetry, and the oratory of great Irishmen might be found in a collected and accessible form. Such a book is primarily necessary for the purpose of enabling the literary history of Ireland to be traced in a systematic manner; and not the literary history only, but also the historical and social development of the people. In Ireland, as in other countries, literature is the mirror wherein the movements of each epoch are reflected, and the study of literature is the study of the country and the people. Most Irishmen, more over, have felt the desire for a. Work in which they could readily find access to the gems of literary effort which rest in their memory, and would be gladly seen again.

His features, perfectly classical in their regularity, conveyed the impression of one of a cold and haughty temperament, unmoved by sudden impulse, but animated by a spirit daringly ambi tious. His dress was in the height of the then mode, and he wore it with the air of a man of fashion and elegance.

Download or read book Irish Literature Vol 6 Classic Reprint written by Justin Mccarthy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Literature, Vol. 6 Irish humor is mainly a store of merriment pure and simple, without much personal taint, and it does not pro fess to be philosophical. Human follies or deformities are rarely touched upon, and luckily Irish humorous writers do not attempt the didactic. In political warfare, how ever, the bitterest taunts are heard, and it is somewhat regrettable that Irish politics Should have absorbed so great a part of Irish wit, and turned what might have been pleasant reading into a succession of biting sarcasms. The Irish political satirists of the eighteenth and nine teenth centuries have often put themselves out of court by the ephemeral nature of their gibes no less than by the ex tra-ferocious tone they adopted. There is no denying the verve and point in the writings of Watty Cox, Dr. Brenan, J. W. Croker, and so on, but who can read them to-day with pleasure? Eaton Stannard Barrett's 'all the Talents, ' after giving a nickname to a ministry, destroyed it; it served its purpose, and would be out of place if resurrected and placed in a popular collection, where the student of political history - to whom alone it is interesting and amusing - will hardly meet with it. His The Heroine, ' however, which deals with an evil as familiar in our day as when he wrote, may well be quoted as an example of his style.

Download or read book 1000 Years of Irish Prose Vol 1 written by Vivian Mercier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1000 Years of Irish Prose, Vol. 1: The Literary Revival The new period of British colonization of Ireland which began under Queen Elizabeth and continued to the end of the seven teenth century created a fundamental schism in Irish life which has persisted to the present day. Where the old anglo-norman colonists of the twelfth century and after were largely assimilated by the prevailing Gaelic culture, and in any case shared the religion of the people they invaded, the new colonists set out to destroy the Gaelic culture they found in situ; they felt the less sympathy for it because it was associated in their minds with the Roman Catholic religion, which was regarded by both Scottish and English settlers as an abominable heresy. Thus, as in the Spanish conquest of South America, the normally selfish outlook of a colonizing group was reinforced by religious bigotry - as well as by genuine religious idealism. Intermarriage between colonizers and-colonized, which had been the chief agency of norman-gaelic assimilation, was now out of the question. Religion, culture, political and economic status went hand in hand. Even in present-day Ireland the rough-and ready equation of an irish-gaelic name with Roman Catholicism and peasant origins is more often right than wrong.

Our mission will carry us into various departments, and amongst most dissimilar classes, it will entail a great variety of pursuits, and the collecting together of materials apparently incongruous and unsuited to each other.

There, in the health-giving free air, he made the acquaint ance of the best two friends that he could have found, Nature in all her moods, and Man in his best estate, that of the simple, honest tiller of the soil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tower Press Booklets, Vol. 1: Some Irish Essaya The Editors of this series have asked my permission to reprint the four essays which follow. As I read them over I felt that life moves too quickly, and we can hardly write a word but it seems the moment after to refer only to a byegone age. Nature alone does not change, and the earliest of these essays On an Irish Hill is the only one which still means something to me. I cannot let The Dramatic Treatment of Heroic Literature be reprinted without saying that I feel now o'grady was right, and I retain the essay only because of some compliment implied to the finest personality in contemporary Irish literature. Nationality and Cosmopolitanism in J rt was the last essay in a forgotten con troversey in which W. B. Yeats, John Eglinton, William Larminie and myself took part. The essay on Yeats was written while the poet was still trailing the clouds and sunrise colours with which he came, and before he had published the later dramatic works to which my fantastic reverie over his poetry has no application.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles O'malley, Vol. 1 of 2: The Irish Dragoon While, however, I was sifting these evidences, and sepa rating, as well as I might, the wheat from the chafi', I was in a measure training myself for what, without my then knowing it, was to become my career in life. This was not therefore altogether without a certain degree of labour, but so light and pleasant withal, so full of picturesque peeps at character and humourous views of human nature, that it would be the very rankest ingratitude of me if I did not own that I gained all my earlier experiences of the world in very pleasant company - highly enjoyable at the time, and with matter for charming souvenirs long after. That certain traits of my acquaintances found them selves embodied in some of the characters of this story, I do not seek to deny. The principle of natural selection adapts itself to novels as to nature, and it would have demanded an effort above my strength to have disabused myself at the desk of all the impressions of the dinner table, and to have forgotten features which interested or amused me.
