Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Literature In the matter of critical estimates the writer of a text-book finds himself in a position of uncomfortable responsibility. Immature students, unused to judgment, and unable to test the opinions delivered to them, often take those opinions with out question, like so much gospel. At first thought, the only safe course would seem to lie in rigidly following current esti mates. But it should be possible to preserve independence of judgment without giving way to personal vagary, and at the worst a little heresy may serve to stimulate the student's crit ical faculty. After all, only time can determine where the heresy lies. Current criticism, for instance, tends perceptibly to depreciate our native literature. Possibly one who, like the writer of this book, has an honest admiration for our less academic writers, and ventures to set himself against this attitude, may find himself justified in the end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Success in Literature To collect from many sources into a single volume of moderate dimensions such coun sels of writers of renown as might be ser viceable to men of letters is the scope of the present work. The available materials, including frequent reiteration of similar pre cepts, are so vast that it is impossible to attempt a comprehensive record. A selection has been, therefore, made of what has ap peared likely to be most acceptable rather to professional authors than to those who are only beginners or aspirants but it is hoped that what is offered may prove serviceable to all. The labours of the compilers have con sisted almost exclusively in co-ordinating and collating the views of indisputable authorities (to whose works references are given); and while there may be, in certain cases, room for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Literature As for the aesthetic appreciation of literature, in distinction from colder analysis, the author is firmly of the opinion that, how ever difficult the former may be to teach, it is the main end of ele mentary literary study. He who aims at scholarship will take a different view; but for the average student, the chief office of literature is to enrich the leisure of his life. A text-book based on such a conception need not assume to be rigorously critical; it does not set before itself the object of enabling students to sit in absolutely dispassionate judgment upon the works they are invited to enjoy. The author is therefore prepared to hear with equanimity the charge that he has sometimes been guilty of over-praise. At the same time he trusts that no panegyric has been lightly evoked or mistakenly bestowed, - that even his superlatives, when consideration is taken of the qualifications that attend them and allowance made for honest differences of opinion, will be found to have been not thoughtlessly employed. To be appreciative without becoming uncritical, and above all without losing grasp of substance, has been the constant aim.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Workers: Or Pilgrims to the Temple of Honour There are various productions bearing more or less, upon the same topic, and notably amongst these stands the elder Disraeli's sketch of the Literary Character, to which the writer is largely indebted. It is not in any spirit of rivalry that he adds another to the list; but in the belief that the intrinsic charm of the theme will float this and many other volumes of the kind. The book is intended more especially for literary aspirants, and its purpose will be answered if it affords any genial stimulus to readers who may wish to rank amongst the toilers with the Pen. The author has endeavoured to invest literary genius with something of a personal character by tracing its story (cursorily, of course) in the form of a biography from the cradle to the grave.

Download or read book The Creative Art of Fiction Classic Reprint written by H. A. Davidson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Creative Art of Fiction Not all fiction is artistically great, or even correct, nor is immediate success a fair test of quality. The relation of a piece of literature to the reading public is determined by many and complex elements. In the beginning, theartistic quality of the novel may weigh least in its popularity. Maximum sales are often due to special interest in the subject at the time of publication, as in the case of Robert Elsntere, le Heavenly Twins, T riloy, and a score of other novels that have shot, like meteors, across the literary firmament, and disappeared. Or, the story may contain a picture, photographically real, of life and human interest in one generation, or in a definite locality, and, without art in the presentation, maintain a firm hold upon the hearts of readers who have experienced, even remotely, the life depicted. Such are stories of colonial adventure under conditions that have passed, traditionally, to the descendants of the first settlers; such is David Harnnt, and, possibly, The Bonnie Brzer Bus/z. Not until stories of this kind have outlived the generation and the conditions of life that gave them birth, can it be seen whether art in the presentation mingles with human interest in the subject in such a manner as to secure permanence.

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of American Literature The general policy has been to mention relatively few persons, in order to leave a definite impression as to each. The especial interests of students in school or college have been steadily considered. In particular, Hawthorne and Longfellow have been treated with relative fullness and somewhat critical method, because their works have, and should have, a very large part in our popular education. The competent and judicious teacher may prefer to throw more emphasis on other authors, Franklin, Irving, Emerson, or Lowell. In that case the materials are of course abundant and close at hand. The chrono logical tables are an integral portion of the work, and supply many items which may be missed in the text. A fuller treatment of one group will be found in the author's New England Poets, Macmillan, 1898. While the present book comes down to the year 1900, there is, naturally, no attempt to pass final judgment in detail on the career Of men and women still living.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Studies in Literature That these brief chapters may prove helpful to readers of books who desire to become students of literature, is the hope which the writer ventures to cherish in the face of defects more obvious to him than to the most unsympathetic critic. These Studies are not critical but interpretative they are neither exhaustive nor inclusive; they are mainly hints and suggestions. Each chapter might be elaborated into a volume. If they serve to indi cate the leading lines of literary development, the fundamental divisions and distinctions, the deep and vital tendencies, they will accomplish the end for which they were written. That they represent deep convictions concerning the significance of literature rather than a purely critical attitude, will be apparent to the most indifferent reader. The writer is glad of an Opportunity of putting forth what he trusts may be, to some readers at least, a book of insight, rather than a contribution to the.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Literary Values: Studies in Modern Literature This is not to say that no criticism is good which does not take the form of philosophical investiga tion, but that such investigation must precede any further discussion. Criticism must assume a stable standard of values and constant points of reference, and the discovery of these must be made by each critic for himself. Otherwise there cannot even be an intelligent handling of vocabulary. What can the critic do with such words as aesthetic, form, ideal, significant, unless he has satisfied himself about their meaning by his own investigations? How often do we see quite un defined terms flung about loosely in critical writing which passes for profound! Definition of terms is no simple matter it is not the beginning of a thought-process but the end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Literary Year Book for the Year 1921 Classic Reprint written by Mark Meredith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary Year-Book for the Year 1921 Somewhat contrary to the usual procedure this Introduction to the 1921 Edition Of the literary year book has been written when all the work was completed. Handicapped somewhat by the lack of time for very careful corrections there are a number of clerical and printers' errors in the Book, which a careful reader will easily distinguish and read correctly. They are unfortunately inseparable from rush-work, and acknowledgments must be given to the printers and binders for their very helpful assistance. An endeavour has been made in the present volume to shed the halo of distinguished letters and to produce a book which will be really helpful in the common task Of the work-a-day world of the writer. One's first attempt at such a task can scarcely be successful, but if in a small measure the present edition is of some service to its users the Editor will feel repaid for the work involved. It has been a labour which has given him extreme pleasure, but it is his wish to be of still further service right throughout 1921 to the readers Of the Book, and any questions or letters addressed to him will always have careful attention. In the interests Of the authors themselves, particular attention is directed to the section on Literary Property (p. And the importance of Observing the suggestions laid down there cannot be over-emphasised. In the main the reader will find that there is more matter of use to him in this than in previous volumes, and with an earlier preparation Of the 1922 edition than was possible with this one, it is hoped that the scope of the Book will be considerably extended. Suggestions will receive careful consideration. It is gratifying to note in to-day's New Year's Honours the names of Mr. T. J. Bennett, m.p., for many years Editor Of the Times of India, Mr. William Davies, Editor of the Western Mail, Mr. Dawson Williams, M.D., Editor of the British Medical Journal, Mr. Samuel Squire Spriggs, M.D., Editor of the Lancet, and Mr. Wm. Denham, author and writer. One would like to see an increasing recognition by the State of men of letters and journalists, with a decreasing reward for mere political ends. The best achievements of humanity are fostered more by real literature and clean press work than by politics, and until the happy time of recognition arrives the lot of the writer and artist will remain difficult.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of American Literature Since 1870 It has been our object to determine this new period and to study its distinguishing characteristics. We have divided the literary history of the century into three periods, denominating them as the Knickerbocker Period, the New England Period, and the National Period, and we have made the last to begin shortly after the close of the Civil War with those new forces and new ideals and broadened views that grew out of that mighty struggle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theories of Style: With Especial Reference to Prose Composition; Essays, Excerpts, and Translations This volume, the editor imagines, may prove serviceable to teachers of English in more than one way. From its origin and apart from the style of the editor's translations it may be regarded first of all as a body of literary models to be used in illustration of some good hand book on English prose composition, by classes in what is technically known as Exposition, Le. Written explanation. The editor's conception of such a volume of models arose partly from his belief - which needs no discussion here that of the three generally recognized Forms of Prose Writing, namely, Description, Narration, and Exposition, only Expo sitiou can be advantageously taught as a practical art by the average instructor in English to the average class; partly from his objection to certain books of standard selections, which professed rhetoricians have seen fit to compile for similar purposes of illustration in the classroom. In his opinion these compilations suffer from one fairly obvious defect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chronological Outlines of American Literature Chronology is the backbone of history - of the history of literature as of any other. Perhaps no tool is more useful to a student of literature than a well-made table of well-selected titles and dates. Of late years no better implement of this kind has been devised than Mr. Frederick Ryland's "Chronological Outlines of English Literature," published in 1890. Mr. Ryland planned a work which should occupy toward literary history the position a date-book holds toward political history. In his Part I. he sought to bring "the annals of English literature into connection with general European literature and with history, so that a glance enables us to see the position that a given work occupies in the line of development;" and in his Part II. he gave an alphabetical list of authors with their principal works. Mr. Ryland hoped that Part I. would perform in some degree "the same kind of service for the student of literary history as a map does for the student of geography," while Part II. could be utilized in "studying literature from the biographical point of view." That Mr. Ryland has been successful in his hope is the testimony of all who have had occasion to use his invaluable manual; and the more it has been used, the more fully are its merits recognized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primer of English Literature This book aims at being what its title indicates -a primer, a first book. It strives to tell simply and clearly a few things, and to bring prominently before the reader only the greatest literary names. The author has found that young readers get very little from a book which presupposes wide knowledge on their part, or which deals with elabo rate literary criticism. Much reading is done in the schools, however, and it is necessary to give pupils some chronological idea of the growth of literature and the place of authors. It is the pur pose of this book to supply that chronology in form somewhat fuller than an outline, and yet less bulky than the regular histories. While it gives no new point of view or illuminating criticisms, it hopes to meet the need of all classes of students who wish to acquire in a straightforward way the gen erally accepted facts of English literary history.
