Book excerpt: Excerpt from Study of Poetry In old days, as we all know, from the childhood of the race, poetry was regarded as a form of inspiration. One word stands in Latin for poet and prophet, just as 'hard' in English carries both meanings; Herodotus tells us that Homer and Hesiod made the theogony of the Greeks; the Book of Job and the Prophecies of Isaiah are poems. Expressions which arose naturally from this view are still familiar to us. We still hear of the Muses; writers are even found to invoke them; and up to this very day the poet is supposed to be visited by an 'inspiration, ' or affected by a 'divine afflatus.' The words have become little better than cant; for they no longer represent a genuine belief. But sometimes we may hope that the disappearance of the belief has not really touched that feeling of reverence from which the belief arose and which gave it its value.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A d104-Book for the Study of Poetry We have remarked that our purpose was not to offer in struction in verse-making. However, though not an end in itself, as an aid to the appreciation of poetic expression, verse-making possesses Ono little value and should hold its time-honored place in the study of poetry. As some help to this, a chapter of practical detail on poetic diction with abundant illustration has been added by way of appendix.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Poetry and Criticism How far my estimates of the poets whom I have passed in review will recommend themselves to others I know not, but this I should like to say: I hope emphasis will not be mistaken for dogma. Such estimates, even were they those of a critic entitled to far more authority than I can pretend to possess, must be experimental, and can have no approximation to finality. But it is right that when well-weighed they should be attempted. Thus only can the literary product of each age be sifted and proved, thus only the balance at last adjusted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Spirit: The Study of Poetry Such poetry, which is mainly to delight and charm the ear, is really a primal form of verse and we may properly call it the poetry of the Senses. In studying it Lanier's Science of Eng lish Verse is a delightful companion, and many minor hand-books besides those named above, such as are found in most schools, and some of the shorter accounts of versification such as are found in works on rhetoric, will give assistance.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Lectures Introductory to the Study of Poetry We may presume that by his first epithet Milton intended that simplicity which is another name for sincerity. 'He meant that a poet must look at the world frankly and with open eyes; with the spirit, though with more than the wisdom, of a child.) We sometimes express another side of the same truth by saying that poetry is "universal," meaning that it cares nothing for superficial and transient fashions, but is interested only "in man, in nature, and in human life," in their permanent elements. This first epithet seems to fix beyond dispute an indispensable quality of all poetry. If a writer is insincere, or if he is conventional and fashionable, we are sure, whatever his airs and graces, that he is no poet. By "sensuous" it is probable that Milton meant what, in more technical language, we should describe as "concrete."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Poetry The contents of this volume originally formed part of a course of lectures which were given some four years ago in connection with the Cambridge University Extension, and afterwards before an English audience at Dresden. The interest which the subject elicited on these occasions has made me venture to hope that a few readers may be found, no less sympathetic and indulgent than my former hearers. I have left almost everything as it was written, instead of attempting to recast the whole into what might be thought a form more suitable for publication, although I am aware that much which in a lecture may be allowable, and even attractive, is apt to appear crude, superficial, and incoherent in a book. I trust that the didactic and familiar tone, which one naturally assumes as a lecturer, will not be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies Early French Poetry The reasons of this ignorance are mainly two; the in efficient and careless way in which French - French, which might be made as useful in education as Latin - is taught, and the lack of English books on the subject. French books, too, are not always easy of access, and our public libraries are generally most deficient in continental literature. And yet the means of acquiring a knowledge of French literature are much more readily got at than those of learning our own. Numberless essays, e'tudes, treatises, collections, and histories have been made in France. In no country have writers found so much appreciation in no country are there more careful editions, more elaborate biographies, and more loving criticism. What the student wants 'is direction and advice; he has to be told when to read and how 5 and, in general, he has to be taught that France has a literature independent of the wellknown names, as original and as well worthy of study as that of our own country. In one small field I propose to endeavour to afford him information and direction. Should he Wish to study the early efforts of France in poetical literature, I h0pe that in the following pages he may find matter that may not be wholly waste of time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Children's Poet To make a success of the study of Longfellow a teacher can not be too familiar with his poems. She must read and re read the simpler poems, make them so thoroughly a part of herself, that she will be a living inspiration to her pupils. If we compel pupils to learn certain facts about an author, it will not have the desired effect. We must teach them to love those of whom they are studying and it certainly is an easy matter to make them love such a character as our Longfellow. The very fact of his having loved the children so dearly, and written so extensively about them insures their interest. Let us first take them on a little imaginary trip to the city of Portland, Maine. Tell something of the city of Portland, near the sea. Do the children know what the sea is? If not, tell them. Show them the picture of Longfellow's home at Portland. Tell them of a dear, little, blue-eyed, auburn haired baby that once came to live in that home; how he grew and grew, just as babies always do; how he listened to the songs of the birds and the song of the sea, and the beautiful thoughts they whispered to him. Tell of his surroundings; the old Deering woods through which he used to wander; the old fort on the hill near his borne, from which a gun was fired every morning at sunrise. Tell of his school life; his later college life, especially emphasizing his boyish experiences and games. Teach the children to love him as a child, and later as a man and poet.
