Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Love in Literature and Art As great a variety as possible of mood and expression in love. At the same time, the method of treatment adopted by the great writers has also guided the selection. I there fore hope that the contents of this volume may be of inter est to the student of literature as well as to the casual reader who merely takes pleasure in fictitious emotional crises, or the entertaining situations of love's lighter vein. The literary treatment of the great passion by the great masters of romance, as revealed even in the limited space at my command, alone forms a most instructive study. Moreover, the chronological arrangement of the excerpts enables the reader to comprehend the varied notions of ideal propriety in the female at different periods. The correct attitude of reserve maintained by the heroine under the ordeal of a proposal of marriage during the Eighteenth Century, and the initiative she might assume under the strong impulse of love at other periods, are shown in the following pages by many examples. Most striking is the lead taken by the woman in the old Romans - two in stances of which are given in Blonde of Oxford and Nic olete. Don Quixote's mad pranks in Love's service are included as being only slight exaggerations of what was expected of the true lover in the ancient days when the Courts of Love were sitting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love in Art examines the romantic impulse in the visual arts, using examples both famous and obscure to take the reader on a passionate journey. Mary Knight Potter opens her book with an introduction in which she states that while love is likely the inspiration for more artistic works than anything else, sculptures and paintings rarely receive recognition for being works about the passion of men and women. The purpose of the book is thus to examine love in the visual arts and present a brief synopsis to the reader. The book is divided into chapters, each of which examines a different subject matter. Chapters focus on Greek art, Biblical love stories and their artistic representations, mythological love scenes as painted, wives and lovers of artists, and several other topics. Each section contains references to specific works of art, often times accompanied by an illustration demonstrating the work to the reader. Mary Knight Potter's passion for art is apparent from the first page. This is a thoroughly researched and well-articulated treatise on the subject matter. Potter presents works of art, both popular and unfamiliar, that demonstrate the emotional connection made between two people. Art historians will certainly find Potter's take on several well-known pieces to be fascinating, as the author approaches these works from a sometimes unconventional angle. Love in Art is a book that will appeal to any reader whose interest is piqued by art history. Potter's exploration of love makes this a pleasant read and one approachable by the layman. If you are at all interested in the subject matter, this book is a worthwhile addition to your personal library.

Book excerpt: In the first century a.d., Ovid, author of the groundbreaking epic poem Metamorphoses, came under severe criticism for The Art of Love, which playfully instructed women in the art of seduction and men in the skills essential for mastering the art of romantic conquest. In this remarkable translation, James Michie breathes new life into the notorious Roman’s mock-didactic elegy. In lyrical, irreverent English, he reveals love’s timeless dilemmas and Ovid’s enduring brilliance as both poet and cultural critic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Courtly Love This translation was originally undertaken, some fifteen years ago, for the use of students in a course in medieval literature in transla tion. It is now published in the hope that it may prove useful to others who desire some acquaintance with one of the significant books of the Middle Ages, but who are unable to read the medieval Latin in which it is written. My primary aim has been to preserve the ideas of Andreas, and to keep close to what he says, even though it has been necessary, at times, to use somewhat awkward English in doing so. My secondary aim has been to reproduce something of his style. This is in general colloquial, but it is colored with Biblical expres sions, and at times it becomes almost pompous when he tries to re produce the speech of the upper classes. In one respect, however, it seemed best not to follow him. Andreas is very fond of loose, strag gling sentences strung together with and, but, for, so, or some similar connective. Medieval rhetoric was much more tolerant of such sentences than modern readers are, but Andreas seems to go beyond the practice of his contemporaries. In my translation such sentences have been broken up into shorter, more manageable units. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Since the morning stars sang together the first song of love, and the first man whispered its secret into the ear of the first woman, there has been no other subject, except that of his Maker, so poignantly intimate to the soul of man, and none that more constantly labors to expression through his art and letters. Down through the ages what a pageant the mere name of the god marshals before the mental eye! What shapes, what presences, insubstantial as the wind, Shadowing more beauty in their airy brows Than have the white breasts of the queen of love.

Overhead the birds sang to one another, Come, look at little Margery Talbot, wear ing big boots and a long sword at her side. I did not think of the forest or the mountains beyond it or that dangerous Castle, for my thoughts were at a gabled and quiet house in a garden. There a crippled old man stood watching me in a porch under ivy; but I had not the heart to look back at him.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Courtly Love in Chaucer and Gower This work is a revision of a study originally made by the writer while a student in the Graduate School of Harvard Uni versity. The limitation of the consideration to the so-called love paramours made necessary the omission of much of Chaucer's best and most interesting work. But even so, in what is left, there is abundant opportunity for observing the poet's genius. The romantic love in Chaucer, although it differs in no essential j respect from that treated by his predecessors and contemporaries in France, becomes in his hands the material for an artistic product of an entirely new sort. The very artistic excellence of the work has sometimes led critics, the writer believes, to wrong impressions of the love itself, and hence to wrong assumptions not only as to the poet's purpose but also as to his achievement. This fact may perhaps be considered sufficient reason for the present study. Readers nowadays, as a matter of course and, it would seem, often conventionally, complain of the dullness of Gower. His treatment of love does not make it possible for us to deny the justice of such a complaint. At any rate, to the reader of early erotic literature, he serves the useful purpose of showing by contrast how brilliant may be a real poet's treatment of romantic love. Some such purpose, it is hoped, the chapter on Gower will serve in this study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

No one told her differently. Her aunt - the still beautiful Loida Vyner-held the same opinion; for she had only made little holiday visits into the world, and she was quite ignorant of all that was mean or self ish in the pomps and vanities she took no part in. Gentle and romantic, carrying in her heart the hush of a great sorrow, Miss Vyner had brought up her motherless niece in that sweet, pious simplicity which makes a woman not only charming in good fortune but patient and strong in the days of calamity.

Their setting forth a love so single and so complete that it speaks in terms of all generations - their references to a young American's high standards and ideals, his ardor for humanity, his struggle with bitter conditions - led a woman, who is now dead, to ask that the letters be given the world: a help to its interpretation of life and an aid to its bettering.
