Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction to the first volume:"The birth of Walter Savage Landor falls at a date when the men who had given the eighteenth century its glory were just giving way to their successors. In 1784 Johnson died. Landor was then nine years old. Within a few years before that date both Gray and Goldsmith had died, and Wordsworth, Scott, Southey, and Lamb had been born. The next ten years saw the births of both Byron and Shelley, and almost those of Keats and Carlyle. The Bastille fell when Landor was a school boy at Rugby, and Cowper, the last survivor of the great poets of the eighteenth century, died in Landor's twenty-fifth year. The reader who desires a minute account of the long life which began at such an epoch must look for it in the works of Mr Forster and Mr Colvin. All that the present essay intends is to describe the life of the author so far as it throws light upon that part of his works which is here presented. "It was not until rather late in Landor's life that the first volume of Imaginary Conversations appeared. But from that time until the very end he was continually rewriting those he had written, and writing new ones. He had indeed written earlier in life, but most of those earlier writings had been in verse. The first of them was published when he was twenty years old. He had just left Oxford, partly because the authorities of Trinity College had objected to his firing a shot gun through the windows of a man with whom he had a momentary quarrel, and partly because he was too proud to take the path of apology and repentance which might have enabled him to return. But, in spite of its date and the place of its production, the book is not like other books written in like circumstances. It is fiercer and terser than such books usually are. It is also wittier."...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction to the first volume:"During the time occupied in writing these works Landor's private life had been a restless one. He had quarrelled with his father, and lived a wandering life in London, at Tenby, and elsewhere. Part of the time was spent at his father's house in Warwick, where he made a friend whose influence upon his life seems to have been considerable. No new bent could have been given to his vigorous obstinacy of character by any human being, but in a near neighbour of his father's he must have found a similarity of thought likely to strengthen the set which his nature had taken for itself. Dr Parr was the curate of Hatton, a small village only a few miles off Warwick. He was a first rate classical scholar. "There are three great Grecians in England," he once said, "Porson is the first: Burney is the third: and who the second is I need not tell." But in addition to this he was a mighty whig, in the days when Pitt was all powerful, and when every true tory looked upon whigs as next door to Jacobins. Landor's love for classical learning was acquired at an early age. At Rugby his Latin verses had been famous, and at Oxford his classical knowledge had gained the respect of his tutors. That he gained no prize in the university he himself accounts for in a characteristic fashion. In a letter written in 1857, he says--"Though I wrote better Latin than any undergraduate or graduate in the university, I could never be persuaded by my tutor or my friends to contend for any prize whatever." But though he wrote no Latin verse in competition, he had written much for his own pleasure. In the volume of poems published by him at Oxford were fifty pages of Latin verse containing, among other things, Hendecasyllabics, of which, his tutor declared, Catullus might have been proud. As far as classical learning went, Dr Parr and he were sure to find a common ground."...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction to the first volume:The inscription for a Quaker's tankard--"Ye lie friend Pindar and friend Thales!Nothing so good as water? Ale is." --is worth all the more polished verse in which the young poets of Oxford have been wont to echo the achieved singers of the outside world. Other poetical works of more importance followed, and among them Gebir. This poem, though written when its author was only twenty-three, shows that even then he had acquired a definite poetic style. Like his prose his verse is characteristic. Both have the same grave and sometimes rugged march in them. In both the ruggedness is often broken by sentences of such marvellous art and beauty that the reader wonders how the same man could write in two such different manners. But the wonder is idle. The artist who has strength to be austere needs no other strength; he who has once made the bleak summits familiar to his feet, cannot but discover that there grow flowers the fairer for their isolation. To the reader, indeed, austerity may be unattractive, and sometimes with reason. It is only in the moods of highest inspiration that art and austerity can dwell together, and Landor no less than any other artist is subject to this law. Passages may be found both in his verse and in his prose where the reader's attention flags. The air of the mountains is no longer around him, and he is left to contend with a bare style expressive of no lofty thought. His consolation is that from the plain to the loftiest heights is for Landor only a step...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction to the first volume:"The whig politics of Dr Parr were an equal attraction. Dr Landor, the author's father, had been a whig, had indeed been one of the leading whigs in Warwickshire up to the date of the French Revolution. But, when Burke and Fox took different sides, Dr Landor followed Burke, and, in horror at the excesses of the Revolutionists, became a supporter of Pitt. His father's decision doubtless influenced Landor in the very opposite direction. He threw himself into the ranks of the followers of Fox, and as a natural result became a friend of Dr Parr. Dr Parr was at the time a sort of literary chief of the whigs j nor was there wanting a literary warfare where recruits were valuable. These were the days of the Anti-Jacobin, and its witty and scurrilous attacks upon any man who dared to do anything but adore Pitt and loathe the French. Not to have been libelled in the Anti-Jacobin argued a whig to be unknown. Dr Parr had often appeared in its pages, and the other whig writers of the time, like Coleridge, Southey, and even Lamb, were treated with scant courtesy in its pages. Into this conflict Landor was now introduced. For a short time he contributed to the Courier, but it would appear1 that some difficulty was found in constraining his pen within the bounds of party discipline. But he became at least conspicuous enough to earn his reward. The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine, the heir of all the scurrility of its parent, Canning's Anti-Jacobin, assailed him, according to Landor's own account, as a coward and a profligate."...
