Book Synopsis Robin Hood by : Stephen Thomas Knight
Download or read book Robin Hood written by Stephen Thomas Knight and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 1999 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legends of Robin Hood are very familiar, but scholarship and criticism dealing with the long and varied tradition of the famous outlaw is as elusive as the identity of Robin himself, and is scattered in a wide range of sources, many difficult of access. This book is the first to bring together major studies of aspects of the tradition. The thirty-one studies take a variety of approaches, from archival exploration in quest of a real Robin Hood, to a political angle seeking the social meaning of the texts across time, to literary scholars concerned with origin, structures and generic variation, or moral and social significance; also included are considerations of theatre and film studies, and folklore and children's literature. Overall, the collection provides a valuable basis for further study. STEPHEN KNIGHT is Professor of English Literature at the University of Wales, Cardiff; he is well-known as an authority on the Robin Hood tradition, and has edited the recently-discovered Robin Hood Forresters Manuscript.

Book Synopsis The Aims and Methods of Scholarship in Modern Languages and Literatures (Classic Reprint) by : James Thorpe
Download or read book The Aims and Methods of Scholarship in Modern Languages and Literatures (Classic Reprint) written by James Thorpe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aims and Methods of Scholarship in Modern Languages and Literatures A collection of essays cannot convert us into able scholars, of course. For that we need much learning, the capacity to deal creatively with knowledge, and a certain amount of good luck. But we also need a discipline to help us shape our material into the form of useful contributions, and that discipline ultimately derives from a recognition of the aims and methods of scholarship. These essays discuss four forms of scholarship - linguistics, textual criticism, literary history, and literary criticism. In each case, the writer offers his ideas about fundamental questions facing the modern scholar: the range of purpose open to him, the basic problems confronting him, the presuppositions underlying his work, the methods and procedures available to him. Of the various themes which run through these essays, either by direct statement or by implication, it seems to me that there are two which ought to be kept in mind while considering the propositions set forth in each essay. One theme, reiterated over and over again, is the interdependence of these four forms of scholarship. The partitioning of scholarship into these essays is a convenient division of functions, not of people; each essay is about a character istic type of study, not about a separate band of scholars living apart from the rest of the learned world. All literary scholars, these essays assert, need at least an elementary grasp of all four forms, and they cannot work effectively without being able to use the relevant evidence which can be - or has been - gained through each of those modes of inquiry. Any given literary problem may turn out to involve all of them, anti a scholar can treat his problem with complete reliability only if he exploits all sources of understanding. The individual scholar generally finds, it is true, that he has more interest and greater skill in one mode of study than in another. But what the professor of scholarship needs, if he wants his work to be adequate, is the ability to follow any promising approach that may lead to a sounder understanding of the topic on which he happens to be engaged.

Book Synopsis The American Scholar (Classic Reprint) by : Theodore Parker
Download or read book The American Scholar (Classic Reprint) written by Theodore Parker and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Scholar Into this volume have been collected a number of Theodore Parker's more scholarly and critical essays, originally published in the various reviews with which he was connected in one or another capacity. To these have been added three or four studies of great preachers. The title of the initial essay, at first used as a college address, has been thought an appropriate one for the whole volume. The essays on Follen, Beecher, and Macaulay have not before been reprinted from the reviews in which they first appeared. That on Dr. F ollen was printed in The Dial, and was the first of Parker's remarkable series of character studies. As the work of a young man it will be found worthy to lead the way to the studies of Adams and Webster. The essay on Macaulay appeared in the Massachusetts Quarterly Review, and by what oversight Miss Gobbe failed to include it in her edition, it is impossible now to say. Parker's only contribution to The Atlantic Monthly, in its first volume, was the essay on Henry Ward Beecher. It was 'his last work of this kind, and probably concluded his many contributions to magazine literature. It shows how highly he appreciated the great Brooklyn preacher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Higher Criticism How is it, then, that the Higher Criticism has become identified in the popular mind with attacks upon the Bible and the supernatural character of the Holy Scriptures? The reason is this. No study perhaps requires so devout a spirit and so exalted a faith in the supernatural as the pur suit of the Higher Criticism. It demands at once the ability of the scholar, and the simplicity of the believing child of God. For without faith no one can explain the Holy Scriptures, and without scholarship no one can investigate historic origins.

Book Synopsis A Primer for Critics (Classic Reprint) by : George Boas
Download or read book A Primer for Critics (Classic Reprint) written by George Boas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primer for Critics It is with many misgivings that I publish this analysis of the main ideas of aesthetic criticism. For it was made nor in the interests of the general reader nor in those of the technical Student of philosophy. It is thus neither a book of what the French call vulgariration nor yet a contribution to scholarship as that word is usually employed. It is addressed to that group of people who enjoy the clarification of issues even when those issues do nor touch upon their professional occupation, who would prefer clarity to edification even in those fields where edification is customary, who do not object to talk ing sense even when talking sense robs their conversation of its air of profundity. Books on the fine arts are no toriously obscure, almost hermetic. This is attributable not only to the sanctity which artists have acquired in modern times but to the vocabulary in which people dis cuss their works. It was with a view to dispelling that obscurity that this Study was undertaken some years ago. Unfortunately the accomplishment of the task has led to an insistence upon distinctions which will prove trying to all but the most good-natured readers. Let the Others remember that the author is a school teacher now in his middle years who, in spite of his being a member of the post-war generation, still retains a faith in education. That may make them patient. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Appreciations: An Essay on Style Since all progress of mind consists for the most part in differentiation, in the resolution of an obscure and complex object into its component aspects, it is surely the stupidest of losses to confuse things which right reason has put asunder, to lose the sense of achieved distinctions, the distinction between poetry and prose, for instance, or, to speak more exactly, between the laws and characteristic excellences of verse and prose composition. On the other hand, those who have dwelt most emphatically on the distinction between prose and verse, prose and poetry, may sometimes have been tempted to limit the proper functions of prose too narrowly; and this again is at least false economy, as being, in effect, the renunciation of a certain means or faculty, in a world where after all we must needs make the most of things.

Munro, as one of the great luminaries among English students of the Latin Poets in the nineteenth century. I now turn to the subject of this lecture. I fear that it is somewhat technical in character, and possibly many of my hearers might have wished that I had selected some theme of more general interest. I can only plead in defence that it is difficult to say anything which is at all new upon a literary subject, while in the field of criticism there are some interesting developments.

And when Casaubon was weary of France, was there not a warm welcome for him in England? James I, who could never see what he had in Bacon, was too delighted to have a Casaubon and to pay him well for the interchange of philological gabble. Meanwhile James left Shakespeare without recognition, so that to-day, there be ing little known about the great poet, Shake speare bids fair to be treated as a myth by latter-day historians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the Evolution of English Criticism: A Thesis Presented to the Philosophical Faculty of Yale University in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy But universal and many-sided as was this critical interest during the years following the Restoration, it was through John Dryden, poet, dramatist, and man of letters, that the Spirit newly pervading literature found truest interpretation. Allied in imagination to the generation that had just passed away, in reason to the stricter sect of the new scientists, he brought into criticism at once the definiteness of a treatment thoroughly scientific and something of his own breadth of sympathy! The immediate questions with which he dealt were of transient interest; the juster appreciation of the past, which marks our century, has destroyed his claim to be called the father of English criti cism. 1 But his critical writings formed a turning point in our literary history. The criticism of his predecessors, however shrewd or wise, was but the superficial system of a half-right analyst or the detached utterance of a poet or literary artist. From these elements of a system Dryden elabor ated a reasonable and scientific English criticism; and though he left it still poor in knowledge and narrow in s00pe, it had, from his first word, come to a full understanding of itself and its philosophy.

Book Synopsis Lectures on Biblical Criticism by : Samuel Davidson
Download or read book Lectures on Biblical Criticism written by Samuel Davidson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Biblical Criticism: Exhibiting a Systematic View of That Science The following Lectures are presented to the public, in the hope that they may be found to supply a place in sacred literature, hitherto unoccupied by any single volume in the English language. The author originally intended to draw up a mere outline of the prelections delivered in his class, for the use of the theological students that come under his tuition; but he was afterwards led to extend his plan, so as to embrace what he considers an outline of all the subjects naturally belonging to the department of Biblical Criticism. Enlarging some parts of the course which he has read in manuscript for a few sessions, adding a considerable quantity of new matter, subjoining the description of new topics, and abridging other places, he determined to give a systematic view of the whole science, which might be read beyond the circle of students that attend his prelections. Dissatisfied with the books to which there is easy access, and not inclined to point, without admonition, even the more inquiring students of theology, to German productions that contain much obnoxious matter, he formed the purpose of publishing such a course of Lectures as would embrace all the topics pertaining to Biblical Criticism. The present volume is the accomplishment of this purpose; how far it may be suited to the inquiring spirit of the times, it is for the scholar to decide.
