Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative English Literature: From Chaucer to Tennyson, Selected and Supplemented With Historical Connection and Map There are already so many text-books of English literature that it seems only proper to state why I have added another to the list. I have attempted to write a book which should answer the needs of those who are beginning to teach the subject according to new methods. In our schools the study of English literature is at present in an experimental and transition stage. In boys' schools especially its value is still practically questioned; its standing uncertain; the methods of teaching it ill defined. Notwithstanding this confusion, there has been for some time a growing tendency to abandon the old plan of memorizing dry facts about authors and their works, and, instead, to bring the student into living contact with the literature itself. The beginner is no longer put off with "elegant extracts" - those scraps and fragments from the banquet: - he now knows that Hamlet does not consist of the soliloquy, or Julius C sar of Mark Antony's oration. This study of the great classics in their entirety is an incalculable gain; but it should not be allowed to wholly supersede the study of the historical development of the literature. In our anxiety to avoid studying the history of the literature without the literature, we are in danger of rushing into the opposite error, and of studying the literature torn from its living historic and human relations. That the second error is less serious than the first affords no sufficient justification; it is serious enough to be avoided.

Book Synopsis Realism, Representation, and the Arts in Nineteenth-Century Literature by : Alison Byerly
Download or read book Realism, Representation, and the Arts in Nineteenth-Century Literature written by Alison Byerly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book confronts a significant paradox in the development of literary realism: the very novels that present themselves as purveyors and celebrants of direct, ordinary human experience also manifest an obsession with art that threatens to sabotage their Realist claims. Unlike previous studies of the role of visual art, or music, or theatre in Victorian literature, Realism, Representation, and the Arts in Nineteenth-Century Literature examines the juxtaposition of all of these arts in the works of Charlotte Brontë, William Thackeray, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and others. Alison Byerly combines close textual analysis with discussion of relevant ancillary topics to illuminate the place of different arts within nineteenth-century British culture. Her book, which also contains sixteen illustrations, represents an effort to bridge the growing gap between aesthetics and cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Good Representative, Suzanne Dovi argues that democratic citizens should assess their representatives by their display of three virtues: they must be fair-minded, build critical trust, and be good gatekeepers. This important book provides standards for evaluating the democratic credentials of representatives. Identifies the problems with and obstacles to good democratic representation. Argues that democratic representation, even good democratic representation, is not always desirable.

Book Synopsis Representative Names in the History of English Literature (Classic Reprint) by : Horace Hills Morgan
Download or read book Representative Names in the History of English Literature (Classic Reprint) written by Horace Hills Morgan and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative Names in the History of English Literature The wants of a busy age require some inexpensive book which shall furnish general information, together with a firm grasp of the movement in each field of effort. As auxiliary to our anthologies, dictionaries of authors, bibliographies, and manuals of literature, it has seemed not undesirable to have some "vade mecum" in which should be collected information otherwise accessible only by long and continuous labor. The plan adopted aims at an answer to the various rational questions which might be asked about an author as an author: when did he live, who were his contemporaries, what was his standpoint, what are his representative works, for what and how far can we trust him, who vouched for his reliability, and what did he do to further the progress of literature? The selection of names has been made with reference to the authors whom the world has accepted as representative of English literature; as minor writers there have been added those whose services have an historical value. Literature has been understood in the strictest sense - the perfect adaptation of the form to the thought expressed; judgment is pronounced from the aesthetic point of view, and not from that of Ethics, Politics, or Commerce; Oratory, Theology, Physics, and Metaphysics have been excluded except when their form has entitled them to literary recognition. The time of any author has been indicated by giving the date of his birth and death, together with the "Era" in which he would be classed. The classification of Wm. Francis Collier is noticeably simple and serviceable, and has been used; it is as follows: - 1st Era. From the birth of Chaucer, 1328, to the Introduction of Printing, 1474. IId " " " Introduction of Printing, 1474, to the accession of Elizabeth, 1558. IIId " " " Accession of Elizabeth, 1558, to the shutting of the Theatres, 1648. IVth " " " Shutting of the Theatres, 1648, to the Death of Milton, 1674. Vth " " " Death of Milton, 1674, to the Publication of the Tatler, 1709. VIth " " " Publication of the Tatler, 1709, to the Publication of Pamela, 1740. VIIth Era. " " " " Pamela, 1740, to the Death of Johnson, 1784. VIIIth " " " Death of Johnson, 1784, to the Death of Scott, 1832. IXth " " " " " Scott, 1832, to the Present Time. In the case of American writers the Eras are not used, as contemporaneity is of small consequence; it may be added that less exclusiveness has been thought desirable in the case of those belonging to our own country. The classification of authors and literary forms is believed to be at once simple and exhaustive: if this belief be well-founded, there will be one less want among the many which oppress the earnest scholar.

Book Synopsis The Representation of the Ottoman Orient in Eighteenth Century English Literature by : Hasan Baktir
Download or read book The Representation of the Ottoman Orient in Eighteenth Century English Literature written by Hasan Baktir and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by the growing interest in oriental countries and cultures, Hasan Baktir examines the representation of the "Ottoman Orient" in 18th century English literature, taking a new perspective to achieve a comprehensive understanding and investigating different aspects of the interaction between the Ottoman Orient and 18th century Europe.A number of questions continue to arise in the wake of Said's 1978 landmark study, "Orientalism". How monodirectional was the flow of power in such representations? To what extent did the travelling observer also participate and become influenced by the phenomena he tried to depict without attachment? What variety of motivations lay behind the desire to know and represent the Oriental other -- was it simply a question of political control? Or were there deeper, more enigmatic factors at play -- sexuality, existential affirmation, even utter idiosyncrasy? How various and diverse was the Western response to the East -- can we discern degrees of sympathy, knowledge, and difference in the various Orients offered to us by the canonical and non-canonical figures of 18th century English letters? Baktir's study provides answers to many aspects of these questions, through a detailed examination of very different texts.Baktir does not completely reject Said's argument that European writers created a separate discourse to represent the Orient; rather, he shows us that there was also a dialogic and negotiating tendency which did not make a radical distinction between the East and the West. Relying his argument on 18th century pseudo-oriental letters, oriental tales, and oriental travelogues, Baktir demonstrates that the representation of the Ottoman Orient in 18th century English literature differs essentially from earlier centuries because a developing critical and liberal spirit established a negotiation between the two worlds. In this book, he indicates how the critical and inquisitive spirit of the age of Enlightenment interanimated Oriental and European cultures.

Book excerpt: This book offers a fresh and rounded perspective on the English Revolution of the 1640s.

It suggests that this took shape through a working 'discourse' of ideas about the status of representative forms.
