The only articles included here which have previously appeared in book-form are the essays on The Poetry of William Blake and on Shelley. I have included these, not only because I think they show Thomson at his best as a critic, but also because I was anxious to bracket them and the article on Garth Wilkinson A Strange Book together. The three essays, though written at wide intervals of time, will be found to be linked together, not only because they deal with the fundamental questions of poetical criticism, but because they unfold with a fair degree of complete ness the views of a true poet upon the methods and.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poets of the South: A Series of Biographical and Critical Studies With Typical Poems, Annotated The poets of the South, who constitute a worthy galaxy of poetic talent and achievement, are not sufficiently known. Even in the South, which might naturally be expected to take pride in its gifted singers, most of them, it is to be feared, are but little read. This has been called an age of prose. Under the sway of what are regarded as "practical interests," there is a drifting away from poetic sentiment and poetic truth. This tendency is to be regretted, for material prosperity is never at its best without the grace and refinements of true culture. At the present time, as in former ages, the gifted poet is a seer, who reveals to us what is highest and best in life. There is at present a new interest in literature in the South. The people read more; and in recent years an encouraging number of Southern writers have achieved national distinction. With this literary renaissance, there has been a turning back to older authors. It is hoped that this little volume will supply a real need. It is intended to call fresh attention to the poetic achievement of the South.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Writers, Vol. 2: Biographical and Critical Studies The death of Prof. Baskervill, September 6, 1899, cut short a career that had already accomplished much and promised more. His technical scholarship was recognized by his colleagues in English throughout the United States; his teaching quality attested by students who had been resorting to him in increasing numbers for more than twenty years; his power to please as well as instruct the general public evidenced by numerous calls to lecture at Chautauqua, in Colorado, at Monteagle, and elsewhere; and he was just finding his widest audience through his literary sketches and studies, and awakening in good judges the conviction that he was to be the historian of the intellectual movement called Southern Literature. William Malone Baskervill, son of Rev. John Baskervill and his wife, Elizabeth Malone, was born in Fayette County, Tenn., April 1, 1850.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical and Critical Studies When publishing, last year, the first collected edition of the poems of James Thomson, I expressed a hope that it might soon be followed by a collection of his prose writings. I hoped then that there would have been a somewhat more general welcome accorded to the poems than has proved to be the case, for though the zeal of Thomson's admirers leaves nothing to be desired, it must yet be confessed that their number is at present rather limited. It is, moreover, rather unfortunate that to the general public he is still known almost exclusively as the author of "The City of Dreadful Night," so that it is difficult to gain a hearing for him except as a poet, notwithstanding the remarkable excellence of his prose writings. It is the desire, however, of his publishers to issue a collected edition of his prose works which shall comprise all that seems to be of permanent value in his remains. Such an edition, if carried out as intended, will extend to four volumes of original matter, and another containing his translations from Leopardi and Novalis.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Writers: Biographical and Critical Studies; Charles Egbert Craddock Murfreesboro, was in its day the most magnificent in that region. In this home was born, about 1850, a little girl to Whom her parents gave the name Mary N oailles, but whom most people will prefer to remember as Charles Egbert Craddock. In childhood a paralysis, which caused lameness for life, deprived her of all participation in the sports of children and set her bright and active mind to work to devise its own amusement and entertainment. Early sickness has more than once proved a blessing in disguise to the future writer of fiction by teaching him to train the observation, to live in good books, and to company with his fancies. It sent Scott to the country and to the fountains of leg end and story, strongly inclined Dickens to reading, and laid Haw thorne upon the carpet to study the long day through. In the same way the Tennessee girl early developed a marked fondness for works of ficchatles Egbert Graooock.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Founders of Old Testament Criticism: Biographical, Descriptive, and Critical Studies The present volume contains a series of pictures of eminent Old Testament critics from the beginning of the critical movement to the present day, with an attempt in each case to estimate the services of the subject of the picture. It is hoped that it may be not only interesting but instructive, and may-tend to remove some current mistakes and misconceptions. Let me mention a few of these. Criticism, it is said by some, is a recent invention; it is arrogant to pretend that it has reached any final or even approximate results. Criticism, say others, is of purely German origin; it is foolish to import what has no roots in our own mental history. Criticism, says yet another school of writers, is purely rationalistic; it has no interest in, and can be of no considerable service to, positive theological truth. Criticism, say a few other respected but isolated observers, is narrow in its methods; it goes on grinding for ever at the same mill, and needs an almost complete reconstruction.

Simultaneously with their de livery, another, more extended and technical, course, on the history of British speculation from Bacon to Spencer, was in progress, attended only by university students. To this course, the lectures here in substance repro duced were partly introductory, while in part they were intended to present a general summary of results reached and illustrated in more profuse detail in the special course.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Biographical and Critical: Or Studies of Character The memory of Washington is the highest and most precious of national blessings, and, as such, cannot be approached by artist or author without reverence. To pervert the traits or to mar the unity of such a character is to wrong, not only his sacred mem ory, but the dearest rights of his countrymen. A poet once conceived a drama based on the fate of Andre; and, after striv ing to embody Washington in the piece, in a manner coincident with his own profound sense of his character, he found that the only way of eﬂ'ecting this, without detriment to his ideal, was to keep that august presence off the stage, and to hint its vicinity by the reverent manner in which the name and views oﬂ Wash ington were treated by all the dramatis pcrsonw. This instinct of dramatic propriety is a most striking proof of the native sacred ness of the subject. The more fertile it may be to the poet and philosopher, the less right has the biographer to interfere with, overlay, or exaggerate, its primitive truth, and the more careful should he be in adhering to the lucid and conscientious statement of facts, in themselves, and for themselves, immeasurably precious.

In the first place, I have carefully avoided any attempt at a formal biography of Mr Barrie, although there is no phase of his career, so far as that interests the reading public, which is not touched upon in the course of the following chapters. I have as carefully refrained from attempting a comprehensive critical survey of all his works. My aim has been to produce a volume which admirers of Mr Barrie's books may read with interest and perhaps with some degree of profit, while those who are only imperfectly, or not at all, acquainted with his contributions to the library of contemporary literature may find herein an introduction to a delightful field of study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies and Memories My dear Charles Graves, - Having adopted your suggestion that I should reprint some papers, biographical and critical, which I have contributed to various periodicals during the last twenty-five years, I speedily found myself in the position rather of a critic than of an author. With the personal notices, consisting mainly of matters of fact, I had not much fault to find; with the critical it was far otherwise. For a man's opinions vary in a quarter of a century as do his bodily tissues, and upon many points I found myself as editor at loggerheads with myself as writer. I hold, however, that a collection of this sort, if it is to have any value at all, must be a genuine reprint, and not a Bowdlerised or sterilised version of the original. Such freshness as comes from the pen of a writer who is keen at the moment of carrying out his task, is lost in any process of cool and calculating reconsideration, and therefore I have left them alone (misprints and glaringly bad grammar excepted) in their original sin, such severity as is in them uneliminated, and such immature and hasty judgments as crop up at intervals uncorrected by later experience.
