Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Literature Part II consists of a brief survey of English literature with assigned readings from the literature itself. Much study about authors whose books the student has never read is of doubt ful utility. A wiser plan is to use a very brief account of the literature in connection with a considerable amount of reading in the literature itself arranged chronologically. In studying Part II, therefore, emphasis should be placed upon the sug gested readings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The ground work of the essay on Pope, republished by the courtesy of Messrs. Longmans, is to be found in Fraser's Magazine; but the author has also made use, with the permission of the proprietors, of several papers on the same subject printed in the Pall Mall Gazette and in the Athenwum. Thanks are due to the editors of the Spectator, for authority to insert the Wesley article; and to Messrs. Smith, Elder, and Cc., for the use of the remaining essays.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Literature and the Classics This book is a collection of nine lectures delivered in Oxford at the invitation of the Board of English Studies in the winter of 1911 - 12. They were addressed primarily to members of the English School, but in effect to all students of modern literature in the University who cared to hear, from students of ancient literature, something of what the Classics mean in the history of letters. The story of the Ancients and Modems is a story, happily, without conclusion, which has its sequel and its public in every generation. These lectures, here and there expanded, but printed, for the most part, as they were given, are now offered as an instal.

In the historical portion, the effort has been to represent every period by the best it produced. For this purpose it has not been thought necessary to call attention to.

Book Synopsis Social Studies in English Literature (Classic Reprint) by : Laura Johnson Wylie
Download or read book Social Studies in English Literature (Classic Reprint) written by Laura Johnson Wylie and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Studies in English Literature The unity of the following studies consists in their common viewpoint, each essay tracing the relation between a certain body of literature and some aspects of the social conditions out of which it grew. This unity of idea is due to no attempt to illustrate the now generally accepted theory that literature is essentially social in nature and function, but results solely from the pedestrian effort to "see the object as in itself it really is." In the history of the essay and in the English poetry of the Revolution the connection between literature and life on which the criticism of our day emphatically insists is so obvious that it seems impossible to come to a full understanding either of this art-form or of these poets without recognizing the social affiliations of each. Though conscious of many debts to many friends in writing these papers, I can mention only three. Miss Julia B. Anthony and Miss Katharine Warren have given me invaluable aid in reading proof, and Professor Gertrude Buck, for many years my associate in the English Department of Vassar College, has been indefatigable in criticism and suggestion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Early English Literature This is especially true of the old English literature. It is a folio of many leaves, yet one book from the dap pled dawn of Saxon Alfred to the sunrise of Chaucer it is one long day, deepening into the full noon of' Shakespeare. Each period is a phase of the great strug gles of English national life: the shaping of a rough folk into a Christian people; the stormy time of the Norman Conquest ending in stronger unity; the awakening of the Reformation; the ripening of the whole past in the reign of Elizabeth. Each English writer, from Caedmon, who first sung the Creation, to Milton, from Aelfric to Jeremy Taylor, from Alfred to Burke, is a living historian of the English mind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Literature for Secondary Schools By an arrangement of type the book is adapted for various courses of study. It will probably be enough for beginners to keep to the larger type, and it may even be advisable for the teacher to restrict their studies to a selection of the more important authors. In a book of this kind, involving the record of thou sands of facts, it is impossible that perfect accuracy can at once, if at last, be attained. It is as accurate, s0'far as it goes, as I have been able by a considerable amount of reading and study to make it. I shall be thankful to receive notes of correction, and any suggestions that I may be favored with will be carefully considered. In its preparation I have necessarily been indebted to many writers. Where my obligations are so manifold and various, it would be invidious to particularize them; but I cannot avoid expressing my indebtedness, direct or indirect, to the professorial teaching and published work of Professor Masson, of Edinburgh. Whatever of merit the book contains is largely due to him; the faults are my own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the Influence of the Classics on English Literature When the full day of Elizabeth's reign arrived, other triumphs than those of unschooled art were prepared. From the universities came men with the background of humanistic studies, endowed with wit and with poetic talents instinct with the beau tiful or the sublime. With the advent of these and of Shakespeare, the London stage won to its new standard all necessary to make it complete but the constructive critic. Such a man was not only required to supplement the artistic completeness Of Elizabethan drama, but to serve lesser writers with education in fundamental form. So, unmis takably the man for his time was Ben Jonson, in no respect more rare than in his erudition. His intellectual grasp is known to have compre hended even the subtlest knowledge of his times and much mediaeval lore, but it is impressive to con sider only his classic learning. The first of English poets, with the wealth of Greece as well as Rome at his command, he has not, in periods especially animated by the Greek spirit, been surpassed for the profoundness of his literary acquaintance. Others have exhibited more intimate knowledge and de light; but Jonson in his day stood alone in his championship and first in his conscious theory of art based upon scholarship. While a catalogue of Jonson's Greek and Latin reading would fill line after line, the story of his educational advantages can be briefly told. All quality and inspiration in his early training may safely be attributed by Jonson's own grateful acknowledgment to the famous second master of Westminster School, the most learned, and my honored friend, Master Camden,1 to whom Every M an in his Humor was dedicated. Under his instruction was laid the foundation of vast and exact translation. The jottings of idle moments, contained in the Discoveries, are a revelation Of the range at Jonson's command. Incidental anecdote or authority quoted in this memorandum laid under contribution not only the masterpieces of poetry, philosophy, and oratory, but more obscure gram marians, sophists, and historians.2 With his vigor ous scholarship and naturally retentive memory, Jonson could scarcely be surpassed for the richness of his quotation and allusion. He says of his own faculty in the Discoveries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is intended for the use, not of schools only, but of that large and increasing class of young men in our great cities, who desire to be guided to the acquirement of a respectable knowledge of our national literature. I believe that there is sufficient novelty in its plan and execution to entitle it to a fair trial; and I am not without hopes that it may help to keep alive that interest in the great masters of the past, which cannot perish without injury.

Book Synopsis A History of English Literature (Classic Reprint) by : F. V. N. Painter
Download or read book A History of English Literature (Classic Reprint) written by F. V. N. Painter and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Literature This book is, in the main, an expansion of the text of the author's "Introduction to English Literature." The historical surveys and the biographical and critical sketches are more extended, and nearly twice as many authors are treated at length. The large number of authors treated has prevented the use of illustrative extracts other than those given in the biographical and critical sketches. It is expected that the book will be supplemented by the reading or careful study of complete masterpieces, the selection of which is left to the judgment of the teacher. This work traces the course of English literature in its organic development. It presents a survey of the whole field, and reveals to the student the position and relations of the great English writers. The use of separate, unrelated texts, without such a comprehensive survey, results in fragmentary and unsatisfactory knowledge. Considerable attention has been given to the historical and social conditions that largely determine the character of literature. The influence of race, epoch, and surroundings has been clearly pointed out; and thus, not only the history, but also the philosophy, of English literature has been in a measure presented. This work is intended to be, not a cyclopaedia of English literature, but a practical text-book. In the judgment of thoughtful teachers this fact will justify the omission of many names which would serve only to confuse and burden the student's memory.

This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Studies From the Great British Authors The design of this book is to encourage an acquaintance with the masters of English Literature. To this end the compiler has attempted to present specimens which fairly represent the versatility of the authors, and which illustrate the peculiarities of their several styles. It is, of course, impossible to present dramas, epics, histories, and essays in their entirety, but wher ever possible the endeavor has been made to offer some entire poem of the writer. It is hoped that any student of any age may be enabled by the use of this book to begin an acquaint ance with the authors, and be led by his interest to use the Index as direction for further reading. An attempt has been made to present authorized texts and through the Glossary to supply such explanations as are not accessible through Webster's Unabridged; on the other hand, it has been considered injurious to explain what the student may easily ascertain for himself without access to any library, but a dictionary. The compiler has, in his capacity of instructor, been made very familiar with What is ordinarily attainable with young students, and has been guided in his selections and glossary by this experience. In the case of writers like Swift, Shelley, and Byron, certain characteristic selections are excluded by the fact that coarseness, immature views, and sensuality should not be emphasized even when among the qualities of an author.
