Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literature of the Georgian Era The Literature of the Georgian Era were origi nally delivered, not to the Arts students whom he addressed in the University class-room, but to a special audience brought together in the Music Hall of Aberdeen, under the auspices of the Local Examination Committee of the Senatus Academicus. This will explain why some points are treated in greater detail than would have been necessary in addressing advanced students. As explained in the Introduction, to Mr. John H. Lobban belongs the credit - as he had all the labor - of looking up and copying out the illus trative extracts from the authors referred to or criticized by his master.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Noble Dames and Notable Men of the Georgian Era The reader will be in little danger of supposing me to imply that the Georgian era did not produce nobler dames and more notable men than any I have included in the present volume. Nevertheless, it may perhaps be advisable for me to point out that the subjects of the six character sketches here brought together have been selected because, in addition to the interest of their several life histories, they all exhibit some peculiarity, or quaintness, or eccentricity, of mind and behaviour, such as would have caused our forebears to dub them emphatically characters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wits Beaux and Beauties of the Georgian Era Before proceeding to give an account of some of the wits, beaux, and beauties of the Georgian Era it may be well to remind the reader of certain conspicuous differences between the "Town" and people of that day and the London and Londoners with which we are familiar. Some of these points of difference are only incidentally alluded to in the following pages; and the characters dealt with will perhaps be better understood if we provide ourselves at the outset with a clearer idea of their surroundings. It is well to remember that at the beginning of the Georgian Era a person might reach the open country from any part of the "Town" in a quarter of an hour. A wealthy suburb, indeed, had already sprung up in the West, as far as Hyde Park; but Chelsea, Paddington, and Marylebone, were fields, dotted here and there with farms and hamlets. North of Gray's Inn, all was open fields; and the residents of Bloomsbury enjoyed an uninterrupted view of the Highgate and Hampstead hills. Hackney, a favourite suburban retreat, was then growing into a small town. Hoxton and Islington were large villages.

Download or read book Comedy Queens of the Georgian Era (Classic Reprint) written by John Fyvie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comedy Queens of the Georgian Era This book does not profess to be a theatrical history. It is simply a series Of biographical sketches of some of the most prominent English comedy actresses Of the Georgian period. As Leigh Hunt remarked, most people are more eager to hear of actors and actresses than of the members of other professions, and in reading accounts Of them most Of us incline more to the comic than the tragic, and more to the women than the men. But a record Of the strictly professional career of an actor or actress is apt to become a mere dry chronicle of successive representations. I have therefore dealt with these ladies, so far as was possible, more from the private than the professional point of view; and I hope that, in addition to the interest Of the separate personalities, these brief biographies may be found to have a further interest as a series of character sketches Of a dozen representative women who, in the course Of the eighteenth century, attained to eminence in the only profession then open to their sex. There is also another reason for dealing with them from the personal rather than from the professional standpoint. Colley Cibber lamented that the animated graces Of the player.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Georgian Poetry, 1913-1915 A few of the contributors to the former volume are not represented in this one, either because they have published nothing which comes within its scope, or because they belong in fact to an earlier poetic genera tion, and their inclusion must be allowed to have been an anachronism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Georgian Poetry, 1911-1912 Few readers have the leisure or the zeal to investigate each volume as it appears; and the process Of recog nition is Often slow. This collection, drawn entirely from the publications of the past two years, may if it is fortunate help the lovers Of poetry to realize that we are at the beginning Of another Georgian period which may take rank in due time with the several great poetic ages Of the past. It has no pretension to cover the field. Every reader will notice the absence of poets whose work would be a necessary ornament Of any anthology not limited by a definite aim. Two years ago some Of the writers repre sented had published nothing; and only a very few of the others were known except to the eagerest watch ers of the skies. Those few are here because within the chosen period their work seemed to have gained some accession of power.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the English Language From the Teutonic Invasion of Britain to the Close of the Georgian Era This work is a History of the English Language, not a history of English Literature. Its design is to trace the growth and formation of our tongue, the influences that have affected its development, or have impressed upon it certain characteristics. All purely literary criticism is therefore irrelevant, except so far as it may tend to illustrate the peculiarities of the language, or to explain its apparent anomalies and its complexities. The book contains the substance of the Lectures delivered to the advanced classes in English in the Baltimore City College during the past three years, and is intended for the purposes of instruction in Colleges, High Schools, and Academies, as well as to meet the wants of general readers. The necessity for some work similar in design to the present must be obvious to all teachers of the English, language in the United States. The want of suitable text-books constitutes one of the most serious obstacles with which the magnificent and rapidly expanding science of English Philology has to contend upon this side of the Atlantic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Georgian Era: Memoirs of the Most Eminent Persons, Who Have Flourished in Great Britain John Churchill was born at Ash, in Devonshire, on the 24th of June, 1650. He was descended from the Councils of Poiton, who came over with William the Conqueror; and his more immediate ancestors were sufferers, for their loyalty, in the civil wars. He was educated, partly by his Father, Sir Winston Churchill, author of Divi Britannici, partly by a neighbouring clergyman of strict protestant principles and exemplary life, and, finally, at the school of St. Paul's, in London; where the plates in a work by Vegetius on the art of war, attracted his early notice and admiration. Sir Winston Churchill being clerk of the green cloth, found means to obtain for his son, and Arabella his daughter, an introduction to court; the former being appointed page of honour to the Duke of York, while the latter, after having for some time acted as an attendant on the person of the duchess, became mistress to the duke, by whom she had several children, one or whom was the famous Duke of Berwick. Young Churchill's passion for a military life was so kindled by the sight of reviews, which he was constantly witnessing, that when the Duke of York inquired what profession he preferred, he entreated, on his knees, for a pair of colours in the guards, which be appears to have procured; and, at the age of sixteen, quitted a voluptuous court to make his first essay in arms at Tangier, in Africa, then belonging to the British crown. His employment on this service has, however, been attributed to jealousy: the singular beauty of his person having, as some assert, attracted more than proper admiration from the Duchess of York; and, according to others, from the king's mistress, the Duchess of Cleveland, who presented him with 5,000; but not, as it appears, until after his first departure from court. It has, again, been surmised, with some shew of probability, that the gratification of his own passion for the army was procured at the expense of his sister's purity. He was soon recalled from Africa, made a captain of grenadiers, and, in 1672, accompanied the English auxiliaries, despatched under the Duke of Monmouth to assist the French, headed by Turenne and Conde, against the Dutch. Throughout the war, he volunteered his services on every occasion of danger. At the siege of Nimeguen, Turenne having laid a wager, that "the handsome Englishman," as Churchill was then termed by that eminent commander, would retake and defend a post with a small number of men, which another officer had abandoned, though supported by a strong detachment, he cheerfully undertook the service, and won the wager by his admirable gallantry. In the following year, he saved the life of Monmouth at the siege of Maestricht; and after having excited universal admiration by his intrepidity, and received the thanks of the French king at the head of the army, he returned to England, fraught with valuable military experience, in 1677. He was now made a lieutenant-colonel, as well as master of the robes, and gentleman of the bed-chamber to the Duke of York; and, in the following year, secretly married Sarah Jennings, the companion of Princess Anne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Georgian England, 1714-1820 Under that brilliant general, the Duke Of Marl borough, whose wife, the Duchess Sarah, was a close and favourite friend Of the Queen, there were gamed splendid victories, handed down in the ringing names Of Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet, which were chiefly due to Marlborough's military Skill and the valour of English soldiers. But the allies, who were also withstanding France and her supporters, were not united in aim or action, so that even the victory at Malplaquet, though it definitely crippled France, was not absolutely decisive. The war, therefore, dragged on from 1708 to 1713, with its continual demands for men, supplies and money; till, worn with the strain, people at home began to grumble at the taxes, to resent the interference with trade and peaceful pursuits, and to blame Marlborough's later methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Georgian Poetry, 1920-1922 This, in the words of Pirate Smee, was a kind of a compliment, but it was also, to quote the same hero, galling; and I have wished for an opportunity of disowning the pretension which I found attributed to me of setting up as a pundit, or a pontifi, or a Petronius Arbiter; for I have neither the sure taste, nor the exhaustive reading, nor the ample leisure which would be necessary in any such role. The origin of these books, which is set forth in the memoir of Rupert Brooke, was simple and humble. I found, ten years ago, that there were a number of writers doing work which appeared to me extremely good, but which was narrowly known and I thought that anyone, however unprofessional and meagrely gifted, who presented a conspectus of it in a challenging and manageable form might be doing a good turn both to the poets and to the reading public. So, I think I may claim, it proved to be. The first volume seemed to supply a want. It was eagerly bought the con tinuation of the affair was at once taken so much for granted as to be almost unavoidable; and there hasbeen no break in the demand for the successive books. If they have won for themselves any position, there is no possible reason except the pleasure they have given. Having entered upon a course of disclamation, I should like to make a mild protest against a further charge that Georgian Poetry has merely encouraged a small clique of mutually indistinguishable poetasters to abound in their own and each other's sense or nonsense. It is natural that the poets of a generation should have points in common but to my fond eye those who have graced these collections look as diverse as sheep to their shepherd, or the members of a Chinese family to their uncle; and if there is an allegation which I would deny wit/j both bandr, it is this: that an insipid sameness is the chief characteristic of an anthology which offers - to name almost at random seven only out of forty (oh ominous academic number - the work of Messrs. Abercrombie, Davies, de la Mare, Graves, Lawrence, Nichols and Squire. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
