Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prose Writings of James Clarence Mangan The present volume is an attempt to comply with a request, frequently made to the editor, for a selection from Mangan's prose writings. That such a collection was necessary the volume itself may prove; but when it is remembered that fully four-fifths of the matter here brought together has never before found shelter between the overs of a book, it may at least be assumed that it will be interesting to admirers of the poet. The reader will hardly expect to find anything so distinguished as in the "Poems" - the magical power which enabled Mangan to rise from height to height of poetical achievement is almost altogether absent - but there are purple passages which, when quoted in the present writer's "Life" of the poet, suggested to more than one eminent critic the idea that the collection of some of Mangan's prose was a necessary and important duty. Whatever else the reader may find, however, he is sure to find Mangan. His quaint personality is in everything he wrote, and to the lovers of Mangan - a host gathering strength every day - that in itself is a considerable attraction. To expect a serious work in prose from Mangan would be useless; all he wrote in that medium was intended merely to amuse the reader of the moment. Hence much of it is purely topical, ephemeral in treatment, evanescent in interest; but it is all stamped with his peculiar qualities, such as they are. It is often defaced by mannerisms, and made trivial by an irresistible tendency to punning; but all know who knew Mangan that to look for uniformly lofty thoughts and lofty expression would be counting without their author. Nevertheless, how eminently characteristic much of this prose is! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Romanticism and Animal Rights written by David Perkins and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-23 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In England in the second half of the eighteenth century an unprecedented amount of writing urged kindness to animals. This theme was carried in many genres, from sermons to encyclopedias, from scientific works to literature for children, and in the poetry of Cowper, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Clare and others. Romanticism and Animal Rights discusses the arguments writers used, and the particular meanings of these arguments in a social and economic context so different from the present. After introductory chapters, the material is divided according to specific practices that particularly influenced feeling or aroused protest: pet keeping, hunting, baiting, working animals, eating them, and the various harms inflicted on wild birds. The book shows how extensively English Romantic writing took up issues of what we now call animal rights. In this respect it joins the growing number of studies that seek precedents or affinities in English Romanticism for our own ecological concerns.
