Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Lyrics Odes, properly so called, are excluded; as are all narrative, didactic, and ballad poems. Nor are true lyrics included which will not stand alone. Thus a beautiful song in The Lady of the Lake finds no place because a line in it is unintelligible apart from the narrative in which it is imbedded. Nor, for the same reason, are extracts given from longer poems. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Lyrics: A Collection of English Poetry of the Present Day And in these days of hurry and excitement, when men's powers and energies are taxed to the uttermost in the various callings they pursue, and when comparatively few have time or even inclination to enter on a long and systematic study of English Poetry for themselves, it can hardly be a useless or unimportant task to gather together, within the compass of a single volume, choice gems of Thought and of Expression, which may serve to gladden many a weary hour, and suggest ideas of Beauty and of Truth. The special feature of the Collection now offered to the reader consists in the fact that a large number of the Poems appear for the first time in print, while the rest, so far as I know, have never as yet found a place in any other volume, excepting the Authors' own publications, from which they have, by kind permission, been extracted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Lyrics From Dryden to Burns The purest form of the lyric is the song, - in which words and music cannot be thought of, one without the other. But unhappily the writing of songs is an art that suffers from a general advance in education. The farther away a people moves from the simplicity of early times, the less freely do its feelings find natural expression in song. Nowadays we have almost separated the idea of poetry - or at least good poetry - from the idea of singing. The words that we sing to popular songs we seldom take very seriously, and when we desire good lyrics we read them in the works of our great poets. It is unfortunate that poetry and singing are thus separated; and it was not always so. Among our English ancestors of the Middle Ages there were many traditional ballads of the finest quality, written perhaps by wandering minstrels, and sung by the common people on all occasions. The famous Robin Hood ballads are among the finest of these old folk-songs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare to Hardy: An Anthology of English Lyrics A well-chosen anthology is a complete dispensary of medicine for the more common mental disorders, and may be used as much for prevention as cure. Thus does Mr. Graves take us back through the centuries by way of Aristotle to the image of the poet as David playing to the disordered Saul. This is what comes of trying to prove that poetry is useful. Romeo would probably have found himself knee deep in sentences as curious if he had set out to prove scientifically the usefulness of falling in love.

But it never can; for Southey was not thus gifted. And, just as there is little or nothing in all Shelley which has not at least the lyrical thrill, so there is never a lyric in all Southey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Lyric IN the following account of the English Lyric, its origin in early times and its progress through the ages to our day, I have endeavored to write always from impressions, renewed, direct, and made at first hand. But it would be madness in these days of commentary not to know as much as possible of the wise and the unwise things that have been said by those who have traversed this fascinat ing path before me. Independence of judgment, even though it lead to singularity at times, is the most precious right of criticism; but a becoming respect for fellow workers is alike courteous and judicious.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golden Pomp: A Procession of English Lyrics From Surrrey to Shirley In saying that no single piece has been selected for its rarity, I should be sorry to seem for a moment to pretend to any unusual acquaintance with the byways of Elizabethan poetry; for indeed I have done little more than exercise a right of choice in gardens prepared by such distinguished Elizabethan scholars as Mr. A. H. Bullen and Doctors Hannah and Grasart. My debt to Mr. Bullen's volumes of 'lyrics from the Elizabethan song-books, ' apparent to the initiated on every third or fourth page, is acknowledged from time to time in the Notes: to acknowledge it every where was impossible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Meditative Lyrics N the treatise before us we shall purposely confine ourselves to the domain of British or English lyrics, as distinct from American, these latter hav ing already been studied by us in a volume which may be best regarded as a companion of the one now presented.* So broad and rich is, this lyric area, even within the specific province of the medi tative, that we cannot hope to compass the en tire list of representative names, but must content ourselves with a limited portion of it. We must, moreover, be satisfied with brief citations and sug gestions, making no attempt whatever at elaborate discussion. Few topics within the sphere of literary study impress us as more inviting and recompen sing, especially so to those of contemplative habit, and who feel at home in that quiet and still air of delightful studies of which the meditative Mil ton speaks. This volume will have accomplished its object if by it the reader is enriched and quick enedin spirit, and led to seek for further treasure in this open mine of lyric wealth. T. W. H.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical Character of English Lyric The title which has been chosen for this lecture is perhaps open to criticism; but one of the first considerations which led to the choice of it was a wish to exclude, as far as possible, one of the thorniest, and not perhaps one of the most fruitful, of the innumerable questions of literary definition. The problems whether Lyric, as such and in the abstract, owes its differentia to form or to matter; whether its essence is subjective or objective; or whether this is to be found in such a very accidental and circumstantial essentiality as suitableness for actual singing, might of course be dragged into the present discussion, but only by a kind of not very heavenly violence. The historical character of those sorts or parts of poetry Which would generally be recognized as composing English lyric at successive periods might, reversing the ordinary practice of giving a short title be recognized as the 'long title of this paper.
