Book Synopsis Literary Studies From the Great British Authors (Classic Reprint) by : H. H. Morgan
Download or read book Literary Studies From the Great British Authors (Classic Reprint) written by H. H. Morgan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Studies From the Great British Authors The design of this book is to encourage an acquaintance with the masters of English Literature. To this end the compiler has attempted to present specimens which fairly represent the versatility of the authors, and which illustrate the peculiarities of their several styles. It is, of course, impossible to present dramas, epics, histories, and essays in their entirety, but wher ever possible the endeavor has been made to offer some entire poem of the writer. It is hoped that any student of any age may be enabled by the use of this book to begin an acquaint ance with the authors, and be led by his interest to use the Index as direction for further reading. An attempt has been made to present authorized texts and through the Glossary to supply such explanations as are not accessible through Webster's Unabridged; on the other hand, it has been considered injurious to explain what the student may easily ascertain for himself without access to any library, but a dictionary. The compiler has, in his capacity of instructor, been made very familiar with What is ordinarily attainable with young students, and has been guided in his selections and glossary by this experience. In the case of writers like Swift, Shelley, and Byron, certain characteristic selections are excluded by the fact that coarseness, immature views, and sensuality should not be emphasized even when among the qualities of an author.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in English and Comparative Literature To Agnes Irwin "I, too, have dreamed" I To you, who have both dreamed and done, To you, who blessed our work and play, - These later gatherings by the way That tell where Springtime had begun. Sought for and gathered, one by one. From shadowy covert, leaf or clay. We bring them back, as children may, To warm in your rewarding Sun. As children, clustering at the start, After their roadside destinies, Go violet-searching, all apart, All mindful of the smile that sees, We proffer your believing heart Our handful of the Mysteries. II There shall no bound be set, we know, To forward dream and following feet; Save as unmeasuring Love shall mete The distance Love gives strength to go. There shall no pledge be ours to show Save Truth, forever; - no defeat, For us who hold one law complete, - Life's one commandment, that we grow! Take, in Love's name, these gathered leaves, - Greeted and gathered, one by one, - With all your welcoming faith perceives Of things far sought beyond the Sun: - The onward dream, - the homeward sheaves, For you, who have both dreamed and done.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Rhetorical Analysis: Studies in Style and Designed Invention, Designed to Accompany the Author's Practical Elements of Rhetoric The Selections that make up this Handbook, while fairly rep resentative, so far as they go, of the authors from whose works they are taken, are not to be regarded as introductions to the authors as such, still less as studies in the history and development of English prose literature. They are simply, as the title indi cates, extracts to be analyzed, in style and structure, for the pur pose of forming, from actual examples, some intelligent conception of what the making of good literature involves: taken from the best writers, because it is safer to study models of excellence than examples of error; taken from several writers, because it is not wise to make an exclusive model of any one author's work, how ever excellent; and taken for the most part from recent writers, not because these are better than writers of earlier time, but because they are more likely to illustrate the usages practically needed in this century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Studies HE chroniclers and antiquaries of the Tudor period, various as they were in style and talent, shared the same sentiment, the same ambition. There breathed in each one of them the spirit of nationality. They recognised that the most brilliant discovery of a brilliant age was the discovery of their own country. With a full voice and a fervent heart they sang the praise of England. They celebrated with what eloquence they possessed her gracious climate, her fruitful soil, her brave men, and her beautiful women. Both by precept and by example they did honour to their native speech. Our English tongue, ' said Camden, 'is as fluent as the Latin, as courteous as the Spanish, as Court - like as the French, and as amorous as the Italian.' Camden praised by precept alone, and composed all his works, save one, in Latin. The other chroniclers, discarding Latin and writing in their own English, paid the lan guage a far higher tribute - the tribute of example.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Familiar Studies of Men and Books In truth, these are but the readings of a literary va grant. One book led to another, one study to another. The first was published with trepidation. Since no bones were broken, the second was launched with greater confidence. So, by insensible degrees, a young man of our generation acquires, in his own eyes, a kind of roving judicial commission through the ages; and, having once escaped the perils of the Freemans and the Furnivalls, sets himself up to right the wrongs of uni versal history and criticism. Now, it is one thing to write with enjoyment on a subject while the story is hot in your mind from recent reading, coloured with recent prejudice; and it is quite another business to put these writings coldly forth again in a bound volume. We are most of us attached to our opinions; that is one of the natural affections of which we hear so much in youth; but few of us are altogether free from paralysing doubts and scruples. For my part, I have a small idea of the degree of accuracy possible to man, and I feel sure these studies teem with error. One and all were writ ten with genuine interest in the subject; many, how ever, have been conceived and finished with imperfect knowledge; and all have lain, from beginning to end, under the disadvantages inherent in this style of writing.

Download or read book The Mechanism of English Style (Classic Reprint) written by Lewis Worthington Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanism of English Style This book is the result of a conviction that telling students how to write, lecturing at them or to them, giving them rules and principles and counselings will not make writers. Nothing but an intimate acquaintance with the work of those who have in some high degree mastered the problem of literary expression will materially help them to a like command of the resources of style. The problem is one of method. How shall a student be induced to focus his attention long enough and minutely enough upon the intricacies of written speech? How can he be led to turn sentences over and over until the rationale of their form and ordering settles into his consciousness as an almost instinc tive understanding? There may be various satisfactory answers to these ques tions, but the answer of this volume is embodied primarily in Chapter IX and in the reference of the questions there to specific portions of the texts. This direct application of the questions will be found at the bottom of each page of the extracts. No doubt to many this method will seem some what mechanical. It has been developed as a system of pre cision, a system for achieving a degree of scholarly certitude in a subject in which such certitude is unusually difficult. By reason of that difficulty, ease and assurance in reaching this end cannot be expected through a method that is not fairly rigid. It will then inevitably be more or less me chamical. If the individual instructor feels that he has other and more adequate means of arriving at this result there is no reason for his not employing his own system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Foreign Literature It is impossible not to believe in the existence of some absolute standard of taste, some unerring criterion by which the good and the bad in art may be appraised. For the critic, as for the theologian, some dogmatic basis which it were impious to undermine would appear to be a necessity. Yet when we seek for the evidence of such a standard in practical criticism, it would seem to be nonexistent. I know of nothing so arbitrary and illogical as the criticisms on art and literature which appear in the daily papers, save only the still wilder freaks perpetrated by untrammelled public opinion. Who can explain why Marie Corelli, whom even the critics are agreed in accepting as the type of all that is unliterary and meretricious, should command a large scale for her novels than any living English writer?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Judith Studies in Metre, Language and Style: With a View to Determining the Date of the Oldenglish Fragment and the Home of Its Author Scanty as the remains of Old English poetry are yet scantier still is the information concerning them that con temporary and immediately following ages have left us. Of the authors, their lives and works, as well as of the exact times in which they worked and flourished, we know next to nothing. With two or three names of poets and some few notions of the subjects of their singing, historians of the literature of the Old English period have had to conjure. These generalities can have no better illustration than is afforded by the critical history of the epic fragment 'judith'. To deal carefully with the various questions that arise from a study of this fragment is the object of the pages that follow; it will be best introduced by a review of the most important contributions to the subject by previous scholars and critics.

Book Synopsis Representative Essays on the Theory of Style (Classic Reprint) by : W. T. Brewster
Download or read book Representative Essays on the Theory of Style (Classic Reprint) written by W. T. Brewster and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative Essays on the Theory of Style The practical object of this book is defined by the various treatises and handbooks for rhetorical study now in the field. These are (1) the many excellent text-books on the subject that have appeared in the last twenty-five or thirty years; (2) books of what is called rhetorical analysis, approaching the study of composition through examination of distinguished stylists; (3) treatises on the main types of literary method, as description, narration, exposition, and argumentation, often accompanied by precept and rule for the writing of themes; and (4) books of general and wholesome counsel in literary affairs. Excluding these classes, one has left the very numerous essays on the theory of style, and it is the chief of these in English, written by distinguished authors, that are here presented. They are selected from a contemporary rather than a historical point of view, and taken collectively, they represent the more important bearings of the subject with as little repetition and in as much variety of idea as possible. Newman's essay may be regarded as an introduction, in that it states the general problem of literature. The essays of De Quincey, Spencer, and Lewes follow, with statements of general principles and exposition of methods of a suggestive and interesting sort. Stevenson, particularly, and Pater are somewhat more confined; and Mr. Harrison's essay is an example of the safe, practical talk, the name of which is legion.

Download or read book Theories of Style written by Lane Cooper and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theories of Style: With Especial Reference to Prose Composition; Essays, Excerpts, and Translations This volume, the editor imagines, may prove serviceable to teachers of English in more than one way. From its origin and apart from the style of the editor's translations it may be regarded first of all as a body of literary models to be used in illustration of some good hand book on English prose composition, by classes in what is technically known as Exposition, Le. Written explanation. The editor's conception of such a volume of models arose partly from his belief - which needs no discussion here that of the three generally recognized Forms of Prose Writing, namely, Description, Narration, and Exposition, only Expo sitiou can be advantageously taught as a practical art by the average instructor in English to the average class; partly from his objection to certain books of standard selections, which professed rhetoricians have seen fit to compile for similar purposes of illustration in the classroom. In his opinion these compilations suffer from one fairly obvious defect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
