This book was released on 2016-12-31 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction to the first volume: "The birth of Walter Savage Landor falls at a date when the men who had given the eighteenth century its glory were just giving way to their successors. In 1784 Johnson died. Landor was then nine years old. Within a few years before that date both Gray and Goldsmith had died, and Wordsworth, Scott, Southey, and Lamb had been born. The next ten years saw the births of both Byron and Shelley, and almost those of Keats and Carlyle. The Bastille fell when Landor was a school boy at Rugby, and Cowper, the last survivor of the great poets of the eighteenth century, died in Landor's twenty-fifth year. The reader who desires a minute account of the long life which began at such an epoch must look for it in the works of Mr. Forster and Mr. Colvin. All that the present essay intends is to describe the life of the author so far as it throws light upon that part of his works which is here presented. "It was not until rather late in Landor's life that the first volume of Imaginary Conversations appeared. But from that time until the very end he was continually rewriting those he had written, and writing new ones. He had indeed written earlier in life, but most of those earlier writings had been in verse. The first of them was published when he was twenty years old. He had just left Oxford, partly because the authorities of Trinity College had objected to his firing a shot gun through the windows of a man with whom he had a momentary quarrel, and partly because he was too proud to take the path of apology and repentance which might have enabled him to return. But, in spite of its date and the place of its production, the book is not like other books written in like circumstances. It is fiercer and terser than such books usually are. It is also wittier...".

Download or read book Imaginary Conversations - Third Volume written by Walter Landor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction to the first volume: "During the time occupied in writing these works Landor's private life had been a restless one. He had quarrelled with his father, and lived a wandering life in London, at Tenby, and elsewhere. Part of the time was spent at his father's house in Warwick, where he made a friend whose influence upon his life seems to have been considerable. No new bent could have been given to his vigorous obstinacy of character by any human being, but in a near neighbour of his father's he must have found a similarity of thought likely to strengthen the set which his nature had taken for itself. Dr Parr was the curate of Hatton, a small village only a few miles off Warwick. He was a first rate classical scholar. "There are three great Grecians in England," he once said, "Porson is the first: Burney is the third: and who the second is I need not tell." But in addition to this he was a mighty whig, in the days when Pitt was all powerful, and when every true tory looked upon whigs as next door to Jacobins. Landor's love for classical learning was acquired at an early age. At Rugby his Latin verses had been famous, and at Oxford his classical knowledge had gained the respect of his tutors. That he gained no prize in the university he himself accounts for in a characteristic fashion. In a letter written in 1857, he says-"Though I wrote better Latin than any undergraduate or graduate in the university, I could never be persuaded by my tutor or my friends to contend for any prize whatever." But though he wrote no Latin verse in competition, he had written much for his own pleasure. In the volume of poems published by him at Oxford were fifty pages of Latin verse containing, among other things, Hendecasyllabics, of which, his tutor declared, Catullus might have been proud. As far as classical learning went, Dr Parr and he were sure to find a common ground...".

Download or read book Imaginary Conversations - Fifth Volume written by Walter Landor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction to the first volume: "It is worthwhile to dwell upon this experience of political journalism, because it was to the associations of these years that he owed the political bias of his mind. He had fought on the side of those opposed to Pitt and Canning, and to the last hour of his life he remained opposed to them. Even where they are not actually mentioned by name, they continually appear in his writings. A story about a knavish Persian statesman, or a tricky Athenian demagogue, will veil an attack upon one or the other of the two arch-tories, against whom he had once borne arms. As far as Pitt is concerned, those may defend him who will. But in Landor's antipathy to Canning there is something less reasonable, and almost more personal. In part it is possible that Landor resented, most unreasonably, Canning's lack of birth. He himself was proud of his ancestry. His mother came of an old Warwickshire family of Savages, to which he devoutly believed Sir Arnold Savage to have belonged. It pleased both his aristocratic and his whiggish opinions to think himself descended from the Speaker of the House of Commons who was independent enough to lecture Henry the Fourth on the science of government. But whatever may have been the cause of his bitter dislike, there can be no question of its endurance. Among all Landor's attacks on those from whom he differed, the attacks on Canning stand pre-eminent. ..".
