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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Anthology of English Prose: From Bede to R. L. Stevenson The trend of English prose, always more elusive than that of poetry, and its gradual development from infancy to gigantic growth, afford a voyage of adventure for him who seeks. The temper of the English mind, the growth of its national sensibility, have found an idealized expression in the pages of poetry, but in the realms of prose have been reflected in all their many moods and changes with kaleidoscopic vigour and detail. It was characteristic of English prose during its earliest period that it should have little universal interest; until the eighteenth century it was the instrument for the individual expression of enthusiasm for a particular religious belief, or a favourite line of thought. What there was of general interest to mankind came into England in the form of translations - most influential of all, the Authorized Version of the Bible in 1611. The writers of English prose ploughed small and isolated plots, while poetry early swept over its head and rained benefits upon rich and poor, learned and lewd. Yet the national energy from earliest times has found its expression, fleeting though that was at first, in prose, as well as in poetry; and as the Saxon element absorbed the Norman and all other influxes of alien growth, so English prose has enriched itself from many foreign sources and yet remains thoroughly English.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Romanticism in the Eighteenth Century Historians of French and German literature are accustomed to set off a period, or a division of their subject, and entitle it Romanticism or the Romantic School. Writers of English literary history, While recognizing the importance of Eng land's share in this great movement in European letters, have not generally accorded it a place by itself in the arrangement of their subject-matter, but have treated it cursively, as a tendency present in the work of individual authors; and have maintained a simple chronological division of eras into the Georgian, the Victorian, etc. The reason of this is perhaps to be found in the fact that, although Romanticism be gan earlier in England than on the Continent and lent quite as much as it borrowed in the international exchange of literary commodities, the native move ment was more gradual and scattered. It never reached so compact a shape, or came so definitely to a head, as in Germany and France. There never was precisely a romantic school or an all-pervading romantic fashion in England.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Literature and Society in the Eighteenth Century: Ford Lectures MY dear herbert, - I had prepared these Lectures for delivery, when a serious breakdown of health made it utterly impossible for me to appear in person. The University was then good enough to allow me to employ a deputy; and you kindly undertook to read the Lectures for me. I have every reason to believe that they lost nothing by the change. I need only explain that, although they had to be read in six sections, and are here divided into five chapters, no other change worth noticing has been made. Other changes probably ought to have been made, but my health has been unequal to the task of serious correction. The publication has been delayed from the same cause.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventeenth Century Prose Although it is usual for the sake of convenience to classify great writers according to the century in which they flourished, the division must always be an arbitrary one, since the beginning and ending of a century does not necessarily coincide with the beginning and ending of other things. It does, however, so happen that the authors selected for this volume, with one exception, all lived and worked and died within the seventeenth century. Before the seventeenth century English Literature has little to show of what is by common consent regarded as literary prose in the modem sense of the term, that is, prose which follows the approved rules, so far as there can be any, of style. Sir Thomas More, Roger Ascham, Tyndale, the translator of the Bible, Sir Philip Sidney, Richard Hooker, Sir Walter Raleigh, Francis Bacon, to mention only the chief names, wrote literary prose before that era, and their work forms important steps in the evolution of English prose. But the old superstition, if we may so call it, that prose could only be properly written in Latin still lingered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eighteenth Century Literature: An Oxford Miscellany There is an essay of Goldsmith's, on the theatrical productions of his time, which a writer on the Sentimental Comedy would like to quote in extenso. And for this reason - that this kind of comedy, which Goldsmith described with great humour but with perfect justice in the piece in question, is a thing exceedingly difficult to define. Perhaps it is too near to us. We know it too well to be able to define it. Every one can recognize it at a glance. If you dip into a play written after 1710 or so, and find such a passage as this: - Oh, my child! my child! [Embraces her, and a comic servant or trusted butler sheds manly tear.] Child. All-gracious Heaven! is it possible! Do I embrace my father? you will know without the need of any definition that you have struck a genuine spring of that dolorous fountain of sham tears and sham wit - La Comedie Larmoyante, The Comedy of Sighs (that shall be changed to cries of joy in the Fifth Act), the subject of our essay - The Sentimental Comedy invented by the great essayist Sir Richard Steele. This is how Goldsmith describes it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical Essays of the Eighteenth Century, 1700-1725 Much current misunderstanding of the theories about literature held by eighteenth century Englishmen is due to the fact that a large part of the criticism published in their time has been difficult of access. It is the purpose of this volume to lessen the difficulty by putting into the hands of the student a group of representative critical essays. Most of these have not been reprinted since the eighteenth century, and one of them has become really rare. To the less familiar work has been added a selection from the criticism of Steele, Addison, and Pope in order that the survey might be more nearly complete. Essays displaying general theories and tendencies have been chosen rather than those discussing only individual books or plays. The volume aims to present, therefore, the more significant criticism published between 1700 and 1725. There are, however, two notable omissions. There is no representation either of Shaftesbury's criticism or of the several essays dealing with Shakespeare. The latter have been excluded on the ground that they are already easily accessible in D. Nichol Smith's Eighteenth Century Essays on Shakespeare. Shaftesbury has been excluded for reasons of space. It would have been impossible to represent him adequately without devoting to his work a disproportionate number of pages and consequently excluding other work of perhaps greater importance. This exclusion is the less to be regretted because the Characteristics have already been republished in an excellent modem edition.
