Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of English Culture As this is the first volume of the author's works to be issued since his decease, it has been thought fitting that it should be prefaced by some account of his life and writings. Edwin Johnson was the second son of the Rev. Alfred Johnson, Congregational Minister, and was born at Upton, near Andover, Hampshire, on the 9th November, 1842. If he had any pride of birth, it was in the fact that his descent was from English yeoman stock. His childhood was spent in the country, and he never lost his love for its charms and associations. A studious and thoughtful boy, he read English history with delight, was proud of his country's greatness, and ambitiously hoped that some day he would be in a position to do something for it. Inheriting an old-fashioned courtesy of manner and a very chivalric spirit, he had but a poor opinion of money and the position it is supposed to give. His home influences were, however, rather of a Puritan cast, and under the serene guidance of his parents he drifted, scarcely knowing how or why, towards the Pulpit.

Men fighting for their own interests under the, guise of abstract truth and righteousness do not as a rule regard themselves as deceiving anybody. And it is a superficial view of the quasi sincerity of their state of mind that has led our amateur psychologists, the sentimental historians and essayists, to set up their facile kingdoms of sheep and goats, sincere people and insincere.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from World Literature and Its Place in General Culture Adequate sense, hasyettobegin. Whenwespeak Of the study of philosophy, what we have in mind is not the reading Of Greek philosophic writers by persons inter sated ingreek studies, and the reading of German philo sophers by persons interested m German studies, and the like: apart from all this we recognize that there 18 the thing philosophy, with an independent interest and his tory Of its own, the whole being something quite difl'er ent from the sum Of the parts. In otherwords, we recog nize the unity Of philosophy. Similarly, we recognize the unity of history, the unity Of art even the separate languages Of the world have coalesced into a unity in the study Of philology. But when the question is Of litera ture, it would seem as if the humanities side Of the edu ostional edifice has been built in water-tight compart ments; what goes on in our schools and colleges is the study in one class room Of English literature in connec tion with English history and language, in other class rooms Greek or Latin or French literature in connection with Greek or Latin or French history and language. We look in vain for an independent study Of literature itself, and of literature as a whole. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis A Brief History of Printing in England by : Frederick W. Hamilton
Download or read book A Brief History of Printing in England written by Frederick W. Hamilton and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A BRIEF HISTORY of PRINTING IN ENGLAND England was slow to take up printing and slow and backward in the development of it. It was 25 years after the invention of printing before any printing was done in England. It was many years after that before the work of the English printers could compare with that done on the continent. The reason for this is to be found in the conditions of the country itself. Although the two great universities had long been in existence, Oxford dating back to 1167 and Cambridge to 1209, England as a whole was a backward country. In culture and the refinements of civilization, as well as in many more practical things, England was not so far advanced as the rest of Europe nor was it to be so for many years to come. England at this time was an agricultural and grazing country. A colony of Flemings had been brought over to start the cloth industry. There was still, nevertheless, a large export of wool to Flanders, which was there woven and sent back as cloth. The English nobles lived largely on their estates, looking after their tenants, hunting for diversion, and doing a little fighting occasionally when life became otherwise unbearably uninteresting. They were not an educated class and the peasantry were profoundly ignorant. The cities which, as always, depended upon manufacture and commerce were just beginning to grow, with the exception of some of the seaport towns which were already prosperous and wealthy. Not only was this general condition true, but there were special conditions which rendered the middle of the fifteenth century unfavorable to culture and to the introduction of a new invention auxiliary to culture. In 1450 England was shaken and horrified by the bloody insurrection of peasants, with its attendant outrages, known as Jack Cade’s Revolt. Scarcely had order been restored when a disputed succession to the crown plunged the country into the bloody civil war between the adherents of the Houses of York and Lancaster, known as the Wars of the Roses. This period of civil strife lasted for thirty years and affected the general welfare of England very seriously. It was especially marked by mortality among the noblest families in the realm, many of which were actually exterminated. Some time within this bloody half-century the art of printing was introduced into England. There is in existence a book printed in Oxford and dated on the title page 1468. Upon the existence of this book, and upon a somewhat doubtful legend, has been built a claim that English printing originated in Oxford. This claim, however, has practically ceased to be maintained. The legend appears to be baseless, and it has been generally concluded that the date is a misprint and that it should be 1478, an X having been dropped in writing the Roman date, a not uncommon error in publications of this period. Historians have now generally agreed that the introduction of printing in England is due to William Caxton, one of the most interesting figures in the whole annals of printing.

Book Synopsis England in the Age of Wycliffe (Classic Reprint) by : George Macaulay Trevelyan
Download or read book England in the Age of Wycliffe (Classic Reprint) written by George Macaulay Trevelyan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England in the Age of Wycliffe The book, which is here presented to the public, was origin ally composed as a dissertation sent in to compete for a fellow ship at Trinity College, Cambridge. Its object is to give a general picture of English society, politics, and religion at a certain stage in their progress, and to recount the leading and characteristic events of a brief period in our country's history. That period, which represents, as far as England is concerned, the meeting point of the mediaeval and the modern, is of peculiar interest and importance. As the book is now addressed to the general reader, and not to students alone, I have felt obliged to omit here and there the discussion of historical problems which, though of interest to students, throw little or no light on the period as a whole. For a similar reason I have given my quotations from Piers Plow man and Wycliffe in modern English; though I have not ventured to take the same liberty with Chaucer, whose very spelling is sacred to literature. The Notes and Appendices are not intended to contain information of importance to the general reader, but are adduced as proofs of statements in the text, and are intended for the historical critic. For, notwith standing its wider and more popular aim, I venture to hope that the book may claim to be a serious contribution to history. It is based on original authorities, and many of these authorities have been now for the first time unearthed in the Public Record Office and British Museum.

Book Synopsis The Oxford History of the Novel in English by : Priscilla Wald
Download or read book The Oxford History of the Novel in English written by Priscilla Wald and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Witnessing the end of a war that nearly terminated the nation, the abolition of racial slavery and rise of legal segregation, the rise of Modernism and Hollywood, the closing of the frontier and two World Wars, the literary historical period represented in this volume constitutes the crucible of American literary history. Here, 35 essays by top researchers in the field detail how considerations of race and citizenship; immigration and assimilation; gender and sexuality; nationalism and empire; all reverberate throughout novels written in the United States between 1870 and 1940. Contributors discuss the professionalization of literary production after the Civil War alongside legal and political debates over segregation and citizenship; while chapters on journalism, geography, religion, and immigration offer discussions on everything from the lasting role of literary realism in American fiction to the Spanish-American War's effect on developing theories of aesthetics and popular culture. The volume offers thorough coverage of the emergence of serial fiction, children's fiction, crime and detective fiction, science fiction, and even cinema and comics, as new media and artistic revolutions like the Harlem Renaissance helped usher in the new international aesthetic movement of Modernism. The final chapters in the volume explore the relationship of the novel to the emergence of "American literature" as a category in the academy, in public criticism and journalism, and in mass culture.

Download or read book A History of English Literature (Classic Reprint) written by William Vaughn Moody and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Literature The proportions of this book have been carefully con sidered. A full half of the space has been given to the last two centuries, and much more to the nineteenth cen tury than to the eighteenth. These and other apportion ments of space have been made, not on absolute grounds, but with the design of throwing into prominence what is most important for a student to learn upon his first ap proach to the subject. The chief figures in each era have been set in relief, and the minor figures have been grouped about them, in an endeavor thus to suggest their relative significance. A full working bibliography, including texts, biography, and criticism, has been added, in the hope that it may be of assistance not only in the current work of the classroom, but also as a guide for later study.

Book Synopsis The Rise of English Literary Prose (Classic Reprint) by : George Philip Krapp
Download or read book The Rise of English Literary Prose (Classic Reprint) written by George Philip Krapp and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of English Literary Prose In this book the purpose has been to show how the English mind approached the practical problem of the invention of prose, to point out what things seemed appro priately to be expressed in prose and what devices of lan guage appropriately employed in the expression of them. The process was obviously one of the adaptation of lan guage, a genuinely primitive inheritance like the traditions of poetry, to many differing and present needs. It was indeed closely bound up with the effort of the English people to find for itself the golden mean of expression between ephemeral colloquial discourse and the special and often highly conventionalized forms of poetic expression. The study of the origins of English prose is consequently con cerned not only with the growth of the English mind, but, in the broadest sense, with the development of the English language. Since literary prose is very largely the speech of every day discourse applied to special purposes, it is in a way true that the origins of English prose are to be sought in the origins of English speech. No student of the speech would be content to pause short of the earliest English records in the four centuries which preceded the Norman Conquest. F rom the days of the first Teutonic conquerors of Celtic Britain, the English speech has continued in an un broken oral tradition to the present time. But obviously English literary prose in its various stages has not been merely the written form, the echo, of this colloquial speech. The bonds which unite the two are close, but their courses are not parallel. English literary prose has had no such continuous history as the language, and there are sufficient reasons for regarding the prose of Alfred and his few contemporaries and successors as a chapter in the life of the English people which begins and ends with itself. For its antiquity and for its importance in preserving so abundantly the early records of the language, Old English prose is to be respected; but it was never highly developed as an art, nor was its vitality great enough to withstand the shock of the several conquests which brought about a general confusion of English ideals and traditions in the tenth and eleventh centuries. It is consequently in no sense the source from which modern English prose has sprung. It has a separate story, and when writers of the early modern period again turned to prose, they did so in utter disregard and ignorance of the fact that Alfred and zelfric had preceded them by several centuries in the use of English for purposes of prose expression. Nor did the later writers unwittingly benefit by the inheritance of a previous discipline of the language in the writing of prose. In the general political and social cataclysm of the eleventh century, the literary speech of the Old English period went down forever, leaving for succeeding generations nothing but the popular speech upon which to build anew the founda tions of a literary culture.
