Book Synopsis Peacham's Compleat Gentleman, 1634 by : Henry Peacham
Download or read book Peacham's Compleat Gentleman, 1634 written by Henry Peacham and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peacham's Compleat Gentleman, 1634: With an Introduction by G. S. Gordon Peacham's Compleat Gentleman is a record of the manners, education, and way of thinking of the better sort of Cavalier gentry before the Civil wars. It is also part of that great Literature of Courtesy which still awaits the discerning pen of some magnanimous and sympathetic historian. The attempt to define the gentleman is as old as the institution of nobility itself; and every age, since literature began, has claimed the right to make its own definition. For the gentleman is always the protege of the age whose incense he breathes; and he has his fashions and his periods like everything else which society creates. Achilles listening to the Centaur or Ulysses with Minerva at his elbow, the young Academicians of Athens, the orators of Cicero and Quintilian, are, if we look rightly, as much a part of the varied and fascinating history of the gentleman as the Courtier of Castiglione and the 'Compleat Gentleman' of Peacham, as Chesterfield's man of fashion and the beaus of the Georges. It is an apt device, approved by Peacham, which represents the prince with a book in one hand and a sword in the other. With the latter we are not concerned; but just what this book may be, whether Plato's Republic or the Bible, Cicero's Offices or Amadis de Gau, matters everything. The fact that we preferred the Offices to the Republic had a great deal to do with the character of the later Renaissance in England. The genius of Platonism, which had inspired the finest products of Elizabethan poetry, went, as it had come, by the poets. With it went also the hey-day of the Renaissance gentleman, the Courtier, who for the next half-century, as the Cavalier, had to struggle for his very existence, and perished in his triumph at the Restoration.

I am not going to contradict them here, nor do I Wish to write the life of a man whom I have served, on and ce, for more years than I care to remember. If ever that's to be done, it must be the business of one who got his learning at school.

And if my word can do any thing to set him right before the world, in SO far as he can be set right, I give that word willingly, as is his due.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gentleman Let no bedressed, bescented passer curl his lip at this impudent theft of an epithet claimed as property of his favored few. On the part of the auctioneer there is no theft: on the part of the scornful passer there may be usurpa tion. The auctioneer necessarily, unconscious ly, speaks under sway of the advanced senti ment, which recognizes that within every Christian heart live the germs of that high Ideal, the manifestation of which in moving, incorporate reality receives the choice name of gentleman. The universal giving and ao cepting of this name is a homage to the beau ty of what the name represents, - an aspira tion, however remote and modest, for the pos session of the refined substance.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pelham or Adventures of a Gentleman The holiday time of life, in which his novel was written, while accounting, perhaps in a certain gaiety of tone, for the popularity it has received, may perhaps also excuse, in some measure, its more evident deficiencies and faults. Although I trust the time has passed when it might seem necessary to protest against those critical assumptions which so long confounded the author with the hero - although I equally trust that, even were such assump tions true, it would be scarcely necessary to dispute the justice of Visiting upon later and more sobered life, the supposed foibles and levities of that thoughtless age of eighteen, in which this fic tion was first begun, - yet, perhaps, some short sketch of the ori gin of a work, however idle, the success of which determined the literary career of the author, may not be considered alto gether presumptuous or irrelevant.
