Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coming Terror, and Other Essays and Letters The main contention in the following pages is that amount of political or social tinkering will complete process Nature chooses to work out by her own methods of conscientious evolution, and that, by present growthvoffi'asifp'fdvidential restriction, by emergence of Mob Morality and Mob Rule, those sublime methods are being indefinitely retarded, even occasionally reversed. In prop Individual, we retard the progress of the Race, destroy human character, debase human intelligence, and arrest the development of the social conscience. Sanitation in both the physical and the moral world comes of free oxygen, free sunshine, and free exercise. Knowledge comes of per sonal experience and suffering, not of political or moral dogmas, all hollow as the dogmas of any and every Church. In a word, no organization of human beings, no secular, priestly, or apostolic, can help one man to his Soul alive, ' or, what is the same thing, to save the of those he loves.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coming Terror, and Other Essays and Letters Scarcely is "The Coming Terror' issued to the world than a second edition is called for - which is satisfactory enough, as showing that even the trades-union of Criticism cannot quite kill an outspoken book by a non-union man. Here and there, indeed, to my astonishment, the work has received words of actual approval, qualified, of course, with a suggestion that it need not be taken quite seriously; but, as I write, the good old three-decker newspapers are beginning to take listless aim with their heavy guns at my cockle-shell. The Times sends a sleepy projectile, which falls, as usual, far short of the mark; the good old ship Observer deigns to fire a random and rusty shot, while thundering heavily and internally about "gospel according to Buchanan' and "angry philippics"; and The Speaker, a new boat of the top-heavy species, tries to run down the cockle-shell on the score that the conduct of its pilot is 'ungentlemanly.' Altogether, I have to congratulate myself on a fair measure of old-fashioned abuse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Ecstasy and Terror by : Daniel Mendelsohn
Download or read book Ecstasy and Terror written by Daniel Mendelsohn and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The role of the critic,” Daniel Mendelsohn writes, “is to mediate intelligently and stylishly between a work and its audience; to educate and edify in an engaging and, preferably, entertaining way.” His latest collection exemplifies the range, depth, and erudition that have made him “required reading for anyone interested in dissecting culture” (The Daily Beast). In Ecstasy and Terror, Mendelsohn once again casts an eye at literature, film, television, and the personal essay, filtering his insights through his training as a scholar of classical antiquity in illuminating and sometimes surprising ways. Many of these essays look with fresh eyes at our culture’s Greek and Roman models: some find an arresting modernity in canonical works (Bacchae, the Aeneid), while others detect a “Greek DNA” in our responses to national traumas such as the Boston Marathon bombings and the assassination of JFK. There are pieces on contemporary literature, from the “aesthetics of victimhood” in Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life to the uncomfortable mixture of art and autobiography in novels by Henry Roth, Ingmar Bergman, and Karl Ove Knausgård. Mendelsohn considers pop culture, too, in essays on the feminism of Game of Thrones and on recent films about artificial intelligence—a subject, he reminds us, that was already of interest to Homer. This collection also brings together for the first time a number of the award-winning memoirist’s personal essays, including his “critic’s manifesto” and a touching reminiscence of his boyhood correspondence with the historical novelist Mary Renault, who inspired him to study the Classics.
Book Synopsis The Spirit of Terrorism by : Jean Baudrillard
Download or read book The Spirit of Terrorism written by Jean Baudrillard and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2013-01-16 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baudrillard sees the power of the terrorists as lying in the symbolism of slaughter—not merely the reality of death, but in a sacrifice that challenges the whole system. Where previously the old revolutionary sought to conduct a struggle between real forces in the context of ideology and politics, the new terrorist mounts a powerful symbolic challenge which, when combined with high-tech resources, constitutes an unprecedented assault on an over-sophisticated and vulnerable West. This new edition is up-dated with the essays “Hypotheses on Terrorism” and “Violence of the Global.”

Book Synopsis The Island of Doctor Moreau by : H.G. Wells
Download or read book The Island of Doctor Moreau written by H.G. Wells and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2009-07-07 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic of science fiction and a dark meditation on Darwinian thought in the late Victorian period, The Island of Doctor Moreau explores the possibility of civilization as a constraint imposed on savage human nature. The protagonist, Edward Prendick, finds himself stranded on an island with the notorious Doctor Moreau, whose experiments on the island’s humans and animals result in unspeakable horrors. The critical introduction to this Broadview Edition gives particular emphasis to Wells’s hostility towards religion as well as his thorough knowledge of the Darwinian thought of his time. Appendices provide passages from Darwin and Huxley related to Wells’s early writing; in addition, excerpts from other writers illustrate late-nineteenth-century anxieties about social degeneration.
Book Synopsis Prudes on the Prowl by : David Bradshaw
Download or read book Prudes on the Prowl written by David Bradshaw and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative book comprises nine essays from leading scholars which investigate the relationship between fiction, censorship and the legal construction of obscenity in Britain between 1850 and the present day. Each of the chapters focuses on a distinct historical period and each has something new to say about the literary works it spotlights. Overall, the volume fundamentally refreshes our understanding of the way texts had to negotiate the moral and legal minefields of public reception. The book is original in the historical period it covers, starting in 1850 and bringing debates about fiction, obscenity and censorship up to the present day. The history that is uncovered reveals the different ways in which censorship functioned and continues to function, with considerations of Statutory definitions of Obscenity alongside the activities of non-government organisations such as the anti-vice societies, circulating libraries, publishers, printers and commentators. The essays in this book argue that the vigour with which novels were hunted down by the prowling prudes of the book's title encouraged some writers to explore sexual, excremental and moral obscenities with even more determination. Bringing such debates up to date, the book considers the ongoing impact of censorship on fiction and the current state of critical thinking about the status and freedom of literature. Given contemporary debates about the limits on freedom of speech in liberal, secular societies, the interrogation of these questions is both timely and necessary.

Book Synopsis The 'Arry Ballads by : Patricia Marks
Download or read book The 'Arry Ballads written by Patricia Marks and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2006-02-27 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The romantic notion of the Cockney, the shrewd and slangy common man coming from nowhere and surviving by his wits, is best exemplified by E.J. Milliken's character 'Arry and the verse letters or ballads he writes. The letters and stories, as well as the character of 'Arry, were Milliken's vehicles for social criticism, namely the intolerance shown by the aristocracy. Those letters, colorful additions to Victorian history and humor, tell the story of 'Arry, a commoner who is enamored of the social hierarchy, and who is keenly aware how close the top and bottom rungs are. Central to the themes is the Cockney whose pride is his dialect. Confidence in the face of the class system and withering social criticism make Milliken's 'Arry ballads memorable. This work analyzes the Cockney ballads and contains extensive annotations. Each chapter is dedicated to a facet of the everyday life of the common man in Victorian England, including entertainment, travel, and politics. Each is prefaced with a short analytical history of the period which also places the letters in context.
