This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the British Poets, Vol. 2 of 2 Milton's. Was there ever any thing so delightful as the music of 'paradise Lost'? It is like that of a fine organ, has the fullest and the deepest tones of majesty, with all the softness and elegance of a Dorian flute, - variety with out end, and never equalled. Yet the doctor has little or nothing to say upon this cepious theme, but talks some thing about the unfitness of the English language for blank verse, and how apt it is, in the mouth of some readers, to degenerate into declamation. Oh, I could thrash his old jacket till I made his pension jingle in his pocket! To this playful vengeance of the gentle Cow per, let me add the belief that J ohnson's eulogy of the Paradise Lost bears the marks of having been extorted from him, chiefly, I presume, out of deference to Addi son's celebrated critical papers on that poem in The Spectator. He had no sympathy with the highest poetic genius that was contemporary with him. The fine powers of Gray, the elaborate finish of whose poetry, it might be thought, would have pleased him, were dis paraged in a style disreputable to a candid critic. The high, aspiring imagination of the unfortunate Collins won no better treatment; and this is lamentable to think of, when we remember how his tender nature suffered for the Want of sympathy, the fever of his visionary tremulous spirit turned in the anguish of disappointment to insanity, and his fitful career, closing in the succession of a moody melancholy, a few lucid intervals, and paroxysms of a maniac's violence, when his shrieks were heard in the most appalling manner echoing through the cloisters of Winchester Cathedral.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Key to Modern British Poetry This book, now divided for the sake of convenience into essays, is not one which I would have written for choice. It was composed and delivered as a series of lectures on modern poetry during the course of my duties as a lecturer in English Literature attached to the British Council in Argentina during 1948. The present text, which has hardly been altered at all, is what typographers would call a 'mock-up' for the lectures which were designed to appeal to an audience of graduate teachers in English, gathered from the various universities of Argentina.

Download or read book Lectures on Greek Poetry (Classic Reprint) written by J. W. Mackail and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Greek Poetry In The Springs of Helicon, I dealt with the progress of poetry in England as, in the couise of its evolution, it took shape in the work of three great poets, Chaucer, Spenser, and Milton. In these three poets, at long intervals, the movement of poetry became as it were visible and incarnate. Each absorbed into himself, and communicated to his own age, and to us, the effective integrated meaning of poetry as it had then been reached. The rest of English poetry, during the three centuries in question, places itself in relation to them. They supply key-notes, points of arrival and points of departure, for the whole Of English poetry regarded as a continuous, progressive, and organic evolution. This volume of lectures proceeds on a somewhat analogous method. It does not on the one hand make any attempt to give a general history of Greek poetry, or any complete review Of the work of the Greek poets; nor on the other hand does it deal with'its subject by abstraction and generalisation; and it treats of the poetical movement which was part of the life, and is still part of the vitalising force of Hellenism, mainly as that movement was embodied or manifested in the work Of single poets.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Influence of Poetry and Wordsworth But it appears to me, that in this age of Mechanics and Political Economy, when every heart seems dry as summer dust, what we want is, not so much, not half so much - light for the intellect, as dew upon the heart; time and leisure to cultivate the spirit that is within us. The author of Philip Van Artevelde, in his last published volume, The Eve of the Conquest, has well described this our state Of high physical civilization and refinement, in which knowledge is mistaken for wisdom, and all that belongs to man's physical comfort and temporal happiness is sedulously cared for, while much that belongs to our finer and purer being is neglected - an age of grim earnestness - not the noble earnestness of stern Puritanism for high principles, but one which is terrible only when the purse is touched.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Specimens of the British Poets: With Biographical and Critical Notices and an Essay on English Poetry With this, the Second Edition of these Specimens, their original Editor has had nothing to do, being prevented by 'other engagements from resuming the task of revising them. Various inaccuracies of the former edition have been removed in this, - some silently, for it had been burdening the book with use less matter to have retained them in the text, and pointed them out in a note, -while others, that entangled a thought or gave weight to it, have been al lowed to stand, but not without notes to stop the perpetuity of the error. With many of the now-discovered inaccuracies of the work in dates and mere minutiae, Mr. Campbell is not properly chargeable: some may be laid to the excursive nature of his task; others to the imperfect information of those days compared with ours, for we cannot have lived two-and-twenty years without important additions to our literary facts. Mr. Campbell's excellent taste in the selection of these Specimens has never been disputed; and of his Critical Disquisitions the best eulogy is in the fact that no work of any importance on our literary history has been written since they were published, without commendatory references to them; in particular, that they have been corrected and appealed to by Lord Byron, applaudingly quoted by Sir Walter Scott, and frequently cited and referred to by Mr. Hallam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Poetry and General Literature: Delivered at the Royal Institution in 1830 and 1831 Having ventured to lay these papers before the Public, the author dare not go further, in explanation or apology, than to express a hope that, whatever imperfections may be found in them, the candid reader will be more inclined to approve than condemn what he cannot but perceive has been done in good faith, and in honour of a noble art, which its advocate may have "loved, not wisely, but too well." That art he pretends not to teach, but merely to illustrate according to his views of its worth and influence. Claiming the right of an author to borrow from himself, he has adopted a few brief passages, with necessary alterations, from the Introductory Essays to the Christian Psalmist and the Christian Poet, compiled by him for Mr. Collins, of Glasgow. A few larger sections, but entirely new-modelled, have been taken from critical articles furnished by him to a respectable Review, between the years 1806 and 1815.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Lectures Introductory to the Study of Poetry We may presume that by his first epithet Milton intended that simplicity which is another name for sincerity. 'He meant that a poet must look at the world frankly and with open eyes; with the spirit, though with more than the wisdom, of a child.) We sometimes express another side of the same truth by saying that poetry is "universal," meaning that it cares nothing for superficial and transient fashions, but is interested only "in man, in nature, and in human life," in their permanent elements. This first epithet seems to fix beyond dispute an indispensable quality of all poetry. If a writer is insincere, or if he is conventional and fashionable, we are sure, whatever his airs and graces, that he is no poet. By "sensuous" it is probable that Milton meant what, in more technical language, we should describe as "concrete."

While some slight changes have been made in revising the text for publication, the matter is here reproduced substantially as it was delivered, the twelve lectures becoming the twelve chapters of the book.

The antiquity and privileges of the office, 'its relations with Royalty and with party politics, and its influence on the fortunes of English poetry are substantial reasons why the history of the Laureateship should receive more attention than it has hitherto done.
