Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical and Social Essays: Reprinted From the New York Nation It is told of Carlyle that once when he was thoroughly fatigued in body and mind by the labor of producing one of his works, and had then been almost thrown into despair because of the sudden and total destruction of his manuscript before a word of it had gone to the press, he shut himself up alone in his room and deliberately read through the complete works of Captain Marryatt. This singular proceeding certainly appears to have in it something of that quality of mind which earned for the sage of Chelsea, from some of the irreverent, the title of "The Incoherent Thomas." He was able, though, to give a sound reason for his seemingly absurd and inconsequent behavior. He wanted, he said, to induce in his mind a perfect vacuity of thought, and could hit upon no other expedient so well adapted to his purpose. Why he should have chosen Captain Marryatt in preference to a hundred or two others it is not easy to see.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fashions in Literature: And Other Literary and Social Essays Addresses Thirty years ago and more those who read and valued good books in this country made the acquaintance of Mr. Warner, and since the publication of "My Summer In a Garden" no work of his has needed any other introduction than the presence of his name on the title-page; and now that reputation has mellowed into memory, even the word of interpretation seems superfluous. Mr. Warner wrote out of a clear, as well as a full mind, and lucidity of style was part of that harmonious charm of sincerity and urbanity which made him one of the most intelligible and companionable of our writers. It is a pleasure, however, to recall him as, not long ago, we saw him move and heard him speak in the ripeness of years which brought him the full flavour of maturity without any loss of freshness from his humour or serenity from his thought.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Historical and Biographical, Political, Social, Literary, and Scientific Unusual as it is to republish newspaper articles, no apology is deemed necessary in presenting this volume to the public. At the time of Mr Hugh Miller's death, it was felt that a large proportion of his contributions to the "Witness" deserved a permanent place in the literature of his country. They were recognised as distinguished - both by their literary merit and their sterling value - from the fugitive and ephemeral productions of every-day journalism. Assuming the conduct of a newspaper in the maturity of his powers, and in the plenitude of his literary and scientific information, Mr Miller's habit of composition was entirely different from that of ordinary ready writers of the press. As was correctly remarked at the time of his death, "he did not work easy, but with laborious special preparation."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs and Essays: Illustrative of Art, Literature and Social Morals If I were required to sum up in two great names whatever the art of painting had contemplated and achieved of highest and best, I would invoke Raphael and Titian. The former as the most perfect example of all that has been accomplished in the expression of thought through the medium of form: the latter, of all that has been accomplished in the expression of life through the medium of color. Hence it is that, while both have given us mind, and both have given us beauty, Mind is ever the characteristic of Raphael - Beauty, that of Titian. Considered under this point of view, these wonderful men remain to us as representatives of the two great departments of art. All who went before them, and all who follow after them, may be ranged under the banners of one or the other of these great kings and leaders. Under the banners of Raphael appear the majestic thinkers in art, the Florentine and Roman painters of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; and Albert Durer, in Germany. Ranged on the side of Titian appear the Venetian, the Lombard, the Spanish and Flemish masters. When a school of art arose which aimed at uniting the characteristics of both, what was the result? A something second-hand and neutral, - the school of the Academicians and the Mannerists, a crowd of painters, who neither felt what they saw, nor saw what they felt; who trusted neither to the God within them, nor the nature around them; and who ended by giving us Form without Soul, - Beauty without Life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Literary, Moral and Political Some people are subject to a certain delicacy of passion, which makes them extremely sensible to all the accidents of life, and gives them a lively joy upon every prosperous event, as well as a piercing grief, when they meet with misfortunes and adversity. Favours and good offices easily engage their friendship while the smallest injury provokes their resentment. Any honour or mark of distinction elevates them above measure; but they are as sensibly touched with contempt. People of this character have, no doubt, more lively enjoyments, as well as more pungent sorrows, than men of cool and sedate tempers but, I believe, when everything is balanced, there is no one, who would not rather be of the latter character, were he entirely master of his own disposition. Good or ill fortune Is very little at our disposal: and when a pe_r_son. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Social Studies in English Literature (Classic Reprint) written by Laura Johnson Wylie and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Studies in English Literature The unity of the following studies consists in their common viewpoint, each essay tracing the relation between a certain body of literature and some aspects of the social conditions out of which it grew. This unity of idea is due to no attempt to illustrate the now generally accepted theory that literature is essentially social in nature and function, but results solely from the pedestrian effort to "see the object as in itself it really is." In the history of the essay and in the English poetry of the Revolution the connection between literature and life on which the criticism of our day emphatically insists is so obvious that it seems impossible to come to a full understanding either of this art-form or of these poets without recognizing the social affiliations of each. Though conscious of many debts to many friends in writing these papers, I can mention only three. Miss Julia B. Anthony and Miss Katharine Warren have given me invaluable aid in reading proof, and Professor Gertrude Buck, for many years my associate in the English Department of Vassar College, has been indefatigable in criticism and suggestion.

The literary and social club or the first congregational church may lay claims to unique character and original conduct that entitles it to be the worthy theme of the pen of Clio. So the ingenuous intent of this tome is to fix for the Club in the rapid passage of teeming time a local habitation and a name.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Superlative and Other Essays Finally the essay on Social Aims contains wise principles with which to enter upon the con scious membership of society. There comes a time, early or late, in every one's life, when individuality asserts itself strongly, and the three earlier essays reinforce, as Emerson mainly does in his writings, the consciousness of individual worth. But, at the same time, generally, one also becomes aware that he is a member of society, and not simply one of a family, and the doctrines taught in Social Aims are sound, stimulating, and corrective.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Round Table: A Collection of Essays on Literature, Men and Manners The following work falls somewhat short of its title and original intention. It was proposed by my friend, Mr. Hunt, to publish a series of papers in the Examiner, in the manner of the early periodical Essayists, the Spectator and Tatler. These papers were to be contributed by various persons on a variety of subjects; and Mr. Hunt, as the Editor, was to take the characteristic or dramatic part of the work upon himself. I undertook to furnish occasional Essays and Criticisms; one or two other friends promised their assistance: but the essence of the work was to be miscellaneous.

But when we entered the throne room Of Catherine the Great, with its maze Of mellow light, its wonderful calm, and its fascinating simplicity, all this, united to something singularly Oriental, made me realise how unnatural Russian dominion is in Western Europe, and how much in harmony it is with Eastern thought and religion.
