Book Synopsis The Legendary and Myth-Making Process in Histories of the American Revolution (Classic Reprint) by : Sydney George Fisher
Download or read book The Legendary and Myth-Making Process in Histories of the American Revolution (Classic Reprint) written by Sydney George Fisher and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Legendary and Myth-Making Process in Histories of the American Revolution This history of the Revolution from the whig point of view was written almost as rapidly as the events occurred, not only in the whig speeches, but in the Annual Register, an important publication of that time, still in existence, which summed up the political and diplomatic occurrences of the year both at home and abroad as they affected England. After the Revolution was ended and people began to think of writing an account of it, they found that it was the easiest thing in the world to do. Just get down the volumes of the Annual Register and there it all was for each of the seventeen years of the long controversy; each year by itself clearly and co gently written; for the Annual Register had employed the great whig orator Edmund Burke to write these summaries every year. Burke was very careful with his dates, facts and statements so far as he chose to go and the Register enjoyed a high reputation in that respect. But the statements were all whig statements; no others were admitted; no facts unfavorable to the whig line of policy were admitted; and every fact and statement was given the tinge and leaning of the whig policy. Those summaries running for seventeen years in the Register and the speeches of the whig orators were the material that the early historians of the Revolution used. Gordon, who wrote the first important and widely read history of the Revolution, copied page after page of the Register verbatim and says so in his preface to the first English edition. Those whig speeches and summaries gave the tone, the point of View and the limitations, and fixed them so rigidly that the great mass of evidence outside of those limita tions has always been rejected; and when now obtruded on the pub lic in even the mildest form, is received with staring and sometimes indignant incredulity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Myths of the New World: A Treatise on the Symbolism and Mythology of the Red Race of America I have written this work more for the thoughtful general reader than the antiquary. It is a study of an obscure portion of the intellectual history of our species as exemplified in one of its varieties. What are man's earliest ideas of a soul and a God, and of his own origin and destiny? Why do we find certain myths, such as of a creation, a flood, an after world; certain symbols, as the bird, the serpent, the cross; certain numbers, as the three, the four, the seven - intimately associated with these ideas by every race? What are the laws of growth of natural reli gions? How do they acquire such an influence, and is this influence for good or evil? Such are some of the universally interesting questions which I attempt to solve by an analysis of the simple faiths of a savage race.
