Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Famous Poets IT is due to the reader that I should explain a little of the origin of this book, and its limitations. The series of works named Moxon's Popular Poets has been before the public for some years past: I began editing it in r869. Each volume in that series contains a Prefatory Notice written by rue - mainly biographical and partly critical. When the issue was completed two or three years ago, some of my acquaintances were so far Satisfied with these Notices as to think that they would make a serviceable and readable little volume, if put together in a collected form: the public will decide whether this opinion was right or wrong. For me, as the writer, it was not unnatural to hope that the opinion might prove to be right and, the publishers having readily assented to my proposal on the subject, on the understanding that seven other lives should be added to those already issued in the several volumes, the present book is the result. The original notices have, in each instance, been carefully revised, and, where necessary, enlarged or modified.

Book excerpt: 'If a man is to write A Panegyrick, he may keep vices out of sight; but if he professes to write A Life, he must represent it really as it was.' In the last of his major writings, Samuel Johnson looked back over the previous two centuries of English Literature in order to describe the personalities as well as the achievements of the leading English poets. The major Lives - of Milton, Dryden, Swift, and Pope - are memorable cameos of the life of writing in which Johnson is as attentive to human frailty as to literary prowess. The shorter Lives preserve some of Johnson's most piercing, critical judgements. Unsentimental, opinionated, and quotable, The Lives of the Poets continues to influence the reputations of the writers concerned. It is one of the greatest works of English criticism, but also one of the most humanly diverting. This selection of the Lives of ten of the most important poets draws its text from Roger Lonsdale's authoritative complete edition. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Johnson's Lives of the Poets: Milton; Edited With Notes, Etc In the opinion of Macaulay the best of the Lives are those of Cowley, Dryden, and Pope, and the worst is that of Gray. The comparative inferiority of the Life of Milton is not owing to Johnson's defective knowledge of his subject. Certain errors of fact the life of course does contain. In some cases later enquiry has disproved statements received as true when Johnson wrote. The investigations of the genealogists of the present century have superseded his account of Milton's family and pedigree. The researches of Professor Masson amongst the State-papers have revealed the exact history of Milton's Latin secretaryship. The publication of Milton's 'treatise of Christian Doctrine has thrown new light on the development of his religious opinions. There are however other cases in which Johnson has fallen into error through negligence. He attributes to Ellwood instead of to Phillips the statement that Milton could not endure to hear Paradise Regained' judged in ferior to Paradise Lost, ' and expands that statement into the assertion that the poet preferred Paradise Regained' to Paradise Lost.' On another occasion he refers to Phillips a's authority for a statement which is made by Birch. He carelessly writes of Milton as making the ten books of Paradise Lost' into twelve by the division of the seventh and twelfth. He misdates one of Milton's works, and appears to confound two of his pamphlets into one. These are triﬂing slips, the great defect of Johnson's life of Milton is the persistent depreciation of the poet's character which pervades it throughout. At the time, and ever since.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Italian Poets, Vol. 1 of 3 The names of Carey, of Rose, and Wi 'en, need but be mentioned to remind the English reader, that in transferring the works of the three' greatest poets of Italy into our mother tongue, translation has been carried to a degree of per fection scarcely in any instance before attained; while the name of Roscoe, so worthy in every respect of veneration, reminds us how much has been done in this country to make known the most important periods of Italian history. Nor is there any reason to fear that the literature which so many circumstances tend to make popular in this country, should at present lose any portion of its popularity. More than one of its most distin guished scholars have lived among us, employing their talents in facilitating its study; and in Dr. Panizzi, the judicious and accomplished Professor at the London University, we have another in stance of the advantage a country reaps in be coming the sojourn of these learned and enlight ened strangers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Poems of Theodore Winthrop Among the first of that cloud of witnesses who made history for us in those days (so late, yet so long ago) Theodore Winthrop fell at Great Bethe], in Vir ginia, on June 10th, 1861, before our country was half awakened to the mighty work before it, or knew the strength, born of sorrow, that was to come in time of need. Love of country, where it becomes a passion, may have smouldered through years of quiet and safety, but when the hour strikes, and danger threatens the Mother Land, it leaps into a blaze, and becomes a beacon on the hill top, a prairie fire, that runs over the broad land from East to West. The story of Theo dore Winthrop's life, and of his death, coming as it did at the opening of the war, and making him a type and ideal for the ardent youth of that day, are among the nobler things that should not be forgotten. He was the representative man of the hour, the representa tive of the promise, beauty, culture, and patriotism that were crowding to the front. To some he had seemed a dreamy poet only, to others a man of society, to others a wandering, aimless traveler. Few knew his love for his country till he died for Her. Then they believed it, and the belief grew like a creed, like a new religion, in the warm air of that summer of 1861.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seven Great American Poets There is a well-founded conviction among educators that students should be acquainted not only with the best American literature but with the lives of its authors, to the end that they may realize that the great writers experienced joys and suffered hardships in common with their fellowmen; in short, that we should aim to sound a more human note in the study of literature. Unfortunately this work is postponed until the student reaches the more advanced grades, usually the High School. Since but a small proportion of pupils attend the High School, it would seem advisable to begin the work much earlier in the school course. Biography and autobiography are being generally recognized as the form of literature that is the most interesting and stimulating in the education of youth. If "an autobiography is what a biography ought to be," then no biography is of value that is not largely autobiographical. It should not only tell the life story as others knew it, but it should tell, also, as much as may be, what the author himself thought of that life. It should be both objective and subjective. This, then, is the plan adopted in these biographical sketches: to tell briefly and simply the life story of each author, with the hope that an interest will be awakened in his works through the interest in his life.

Secretary of a Literary Society started for the encouragement of those who cared for poetry and wished to improve their acquaintance with it, he thought that it would greatly add to the usefulness of the friendly afternoon meetings in one another's houses if each first reading of a Poet's works were prefaced by some account of the Poet himself, his life and circumstances, and the history of his work. These accounts are in most cases a digest of what had been already published by various writers, with such added criticism as seemed likely to be of use or interest. And they are usually short, as the writer always felt that he was somewhat tyrannically taking up the time of the Members whose object was to read or listen to the poems selected and discuss them afterwards. In preparing the papers for the Press they have been in some instances enlarged and poems have been inserted which at the Meetings were read after the paper.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Concise Treasury of Great Poems English and American: From the Foundations of the English Spirit to the Outstanding Poetry of Our Own Time; With Lives of the Poets and Historical Settings Selected and Integrated If poetry is the most potent of human communications, it should also be the simplest and the most logical expression. It should, some say, require no particular cogitation, no after thoughts, no exercise of the speculative mind. But poetry, being the product of intuition as well as experience, transcends plain statements; it surpasses fact and leaps ahead of logic. Simple arithmetic to the contrary, a poem is not the sum of its parts. A poem is greater than its parts; it is even something beyond its parts. It is prompted by an idea, enhanced by rhyme, pointed by meter, colored by metaphor. This fusion, this enrichment and intensification, has created a new thing: the poem itself, which is beyond analysis - even, at times, beyond logic.
