Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay appeared originally in the Atlantic Monthly for May, 1883. During the thirty years which have elapsed since it was written the manifestations of the colonial spirit then apparent in the United States have not only altered in character but, I am glad to say, have weakened, diminished, and become less noticeable. Since 1883, also, there has been much achieved by Americans in Art and Literature, in painting, in sculpture, in music, and particularly in architecture. Success in all these fields has, with few exceptions, been won by men working in the spirit which is not colonial, but which it was the purpose of this essay to inculcate as the true one to which alone we could look for fine and enduring achievement. I have called attention to the date at which the essay was written in order that those who read it may remember that it applies in certain points to the conditions of thirty years ago and not to those of the present day.

Download or read book The Oxford Book of Essays written by John Gross and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2008 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essay is one of the richest of literary forms. Its most obvious characteristics are freedom, informality, and the personal touch--though it can also find room for poetry, satire, fantasy, and sustained argument. All these qualities, and many others, are on display in The Oxford Book of Essays. The most wide-ranging collection of its kind to appear for many years, it includes 140 essays by 120 writers: classics, curiosities, meditations, diversions, old favorites, recent examples that deserve to be better known. A particularly welcome feature is the amount of space allotted to American essayists, from Benjamin Franklin to John Updike and beyond. This is an anthology that opens with wise words about the nature of truth, and closes with a consideration of the novels of Judith Krantz. Some of the other topics discussed in its pages are anger, pleasure, Gandhi, Beau Brummell, wasps, party-going, gangsters, plumbers, Beethoven, potato crisps, the importance of being the right size, and the demolition of Westminster Abbey. It contains some of the most eloquent writing in English, and some of the most entertaining.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Essays Another of our typical essayists is George Wil liam Curtis. Toward the end of his life Curtis wrote every month, for Harper's Magazine, a paper called The Editor's Easy Chair. These were true essays, not unlike in character Thackeray's Roundabout Papers. Each month he thought of some subject around which he might weave his ideas and fancies, and the result was a collection full of character and thought. But these were not Curtis's first experiments in this direction. In Prue and I we have a series of papers which, though put in the form of reveries (shall we call them?) of an old bookkeeper, are quite as much essays as if Curtis had written them in his own person. Some of them are more of an exercise of fancy, it is true, but there is thought in them too, perhaps as much as he afterwards put into his lay sermons from The Editor's Easy Chair.
