Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nineteenth Century Prose Both eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are largely influenced by a foreign standard. It was the French writing with its definite rules and the fixed balance of its sentences which in Queen Anne's time set its mark on English prose and poetry. Pope's ideal was Boileau's, a logical order and neatness of expression which is natural to Latin-derived languages, but is not wholly congenial to the English genius. The beauty of Addison's style, charming, graceful, and flexible, shows the quality of such prose in perfection. Johnson and Gibbon, by relying overmuch on the Latin elements of our speech, added weight and sonority, but with a decided loss of flexibility. Gibbon's majestic sentences are all on the same pattern, though in his prose there is a grandeur as of a Roman aqueduct, where every arch, perfect in proportion and detail, is the exact replica of the next; the whole im presses by its very regularity. Later imitators degraded this regularity to a tameness and monotony in Structure, which inevitably brought reaction in its train. Poetry, with Wordsworth, was the first to escape from tradition, and to set up new models. Wordsworth's theory that the language of simplest speech was the right language for poetry, could be applied more easily to prose.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in English Prose of the Nineteenth Century This volume appears in continuation of the plan which was initiated with a collection of Readings in English Prose of the Eighteenth Century, and with a single exception is made in accordance with the same principles: that is, it undertakes to give a sufficient body of prose readings for the use of those engaged in the general study of English literature in the period in question. In the nineteenth century, however, the mass of material is so great that it has seemed best to abandon the effort to represent the minor prose writers, of interest less for intrinsic worth than for their relation to particular ideas and movements, and to confine the volume to those of major importance in pure literature, exclusive of fiction. While many of the names thus omitted (such as Southey and Leigh Hunt, for example, in the earlier period, and Borrow and Leslie Stephen in the later) are tantalizingly attractive, yet the thirteen chosen writers stand out so clearly from among their contemporaries that it happens that not a single additional name was recommended for admission by those critics who were kind enough to look over the editor's list. Besides these space has been found - rather illogically, but on what appear to be imperative grounds of utility - for some representation of the great reviews of the early nineteenth century; for to study the age of Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Keats without some acquaintance with the reviewers is out of the question, and their work is usually more inaccessible than anything else in this volume. Complete compositions, other things being equal, have of course been preferred - or sections, chapters, and the like, having the same independent character. Where omissions have been made they are indicated scrupulously. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in English Prose of the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 2 [Published in Fraser's Magazine for May; a review of Croker's edition of the Life, and incidentally a reply to Macaulay's account of Boswell in his review of the same work.] ... Boswell has already been much commented upon; but rather in the way of censure and vituperation than of true recognition. He was a man that brought himself much before the world; confessed that he eagerly coveted fame, or if that were not possible, notoriety; of which latter as he gained far more than seemed his due, the public were incited, not only by their natural love of scandal, but by a special ground of envy, to say whatever ill of him could be said. Out of the fifteen millions that then lived, and had bed and board, in the British islands, this man has provided us a greater pleasure than any other individual, at whose cost we now enjoy ourselves; perhaps has done us a greater service than can be specially attributed to more than two or three: yet, ungrateful that we are, no written or spoken eulogy of James Boswell anywhere exists; his recompense in solid pudding (so far as copyright went) was not excessive; and as for the empty praise, it has altogether been denied him. Men are unwiser than children; they do not know the hand that feeds them. Boswell was a person whose mean or bad qualities lay open to the general eye; visible, palpable to the dullest. His good qualities, again, belonged not to the time he lived in; were far from common then; indeed, in such a degree, were almost unexampled; not recognizable therefore by every one; nay, apt even (so strange had they grown) to be confounded with the very vices they lay contiguous to and had sprung out of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rhythm in Prose Illustrated: From Authors of the Nineteenth Century It is not easy to give a definition of rhythmic prose, because it is the ear alone which can hear and recognise its music. But it may be distinguished from poetry as a form of composition which is not bound by the limitations of some special metre, but is the harmonious com bination of many. Poetry may be likened to a melody which is distinctly heard, and which obeys certain rules of time and accent. Rhythmic prose can be compared to harmony, where many sounds blend and resolve in ways which the ear does not follow so readily.

Download or read book English Prose From Bacon to Hardy (Classic Reprint) written by Edmund Kemper Broadus and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Prose From Bacon to Hardy The selections in this book have been chosen with two purposes - firstly, to give ample representation to each author included, and, secondly, to limit the number of authors so that the book may not be too bulky to serve as a text-book in courses on the history of English literature. Owing to the inclusion of minor writers, many volumes of selections present the student with too large and complex a mass of material. Other books, confining themselves to one type of prose such as the essay, are too narrow in their scope for use in courses on literary history. The plan adopted here has necessitated the omission of many authors. For example, Burton, De Quincey, Landor, Newman, Pater, and others have not been given because, by reason of style or subject, they can hardly be considered as representative figures. Other writers, such as Fuller, Sir William Temple, and Leigh Hunt, have been omitted because their main characteristics are sufficiently represented in one of their greater contemporaries. The novelists have been represented by adequate selections from those writers only who arc most important in the tradition and development of the novel. Boswell's Life of Johnson has been passed over because the book, effective by its mass, can hardly have justice done it by an extract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nineteenth Century English Prose: Critical Essays In preparing the present work the editors have restricted themselves to a single type of literary expression, - the critical essay. They have endeavored to trace, in a series of ten selected essays, the development of English criticism in the nineteenth century. In choosing the material they have been influenced by something more than mere style. An underlying coherence in content, typical of the thought of the era in question, may be traced throughout. The book is designed to furnish a series of essays covering a definite period and exhibiting the individuality in each author's method of criticism. The subject-matter in these selections provides interesting material for intensive study and class-room discussion, and each essay is an example of excellent, though varying, English style. It has not been the intention of the editors to place the different authors represented on the same level, either as critics or as stylists. Nor do they claim to have, necessarily, selected the best essay of each writer; they have sought, rather, to choose that one which appears to them to be most typical of the author's critical principles, and, at the same time, representative of the critical tendency of his age.

Download or read book Six French Poets of the Nineteenth Century written by E. H. Blackmore and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2000 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Poetry will no longer keep in time with action; it will be ahead of it.' Arthur Rimbaud The active and colourful lives of the poets of nineteenth-century France are reflected in the diversity and vibrancy of their works. At once sacred and profane, passionate and satirical, these remarkable and innovative poems explore the complexities of human emotion and ponder the great questions of religion and art. They form as rich a body of work as any one age and language has ever produced. This unique anthology includes generous selections from the six nineteenth-century French poets most often read in the English-speaking world today: Lamartine, Hugo, Baudelaire, Verlaine, Rimbaud, and Mallarmé. Modern translations are printed opposite the original French verse, and the edition contains over a thousand lines of poetry never previously translated into English.

This book was released on 2010-06-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 2010 book, Dorri Beam presents an important contribution to nineteenth-century fiction by examining how and why a florid and sensuous style came to be adopted by so many authors. Discussing a diverse range of authors, including Margaret Fuller and Pauline Hopkins, Beam traces this style through a variety of literary endeavors and reconstructs the political rationale behind the writers' commitments to this form of prose. Beam provides both close readings of a number of familiar and unfamiliar works and an overarching account of the importance of this form of writing, suggesting new ways of looking at style as a medium through which gender can be signified and reshaped. Style, Gender, and Fantasy in Nineteenth Century American Women's Writing redefines our understanding of women's relation to aesthetics and their contribution to both American literary romanticism and feminist reform. This illuminating account provides valuable new insights for scholars of American literature and women's writing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in English Prose of the Eighteenth Century The principles governing the choice of selections may be briefly explained. In the first place, it was thought well to re present the half-dozen (more or less) most important prose writers of the century by fairly generous and complete speci mens of their work, approximating some twenty to thirty thou sand words each. These selections cover, in the experience of the editor, the assignments of prescribed reading set for one or two weeks, in college courses dealing with the century as a whole. The authors thus largely represented are Defoe, Swift, Steele, Addison, Johnson, Boswell, and Burke. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
