A New Study of English Poetry (Classic Reprint) by Henry Newbolt Pdf

Excerpt from A New Study of English Poetry Evidently Authority, if there be any such power, would need only to speak once and for all but suggestion is a humbler form of persuasion and must be clear and persistent. Unfortunately it is also dangerous to be too clear or too persistent: and I have realised this so strongly that 1 fear to have done my beliefs less than justice. My chief feeling, in parting from the book, is one of anxiety lest I have stated them, vital and moment ous as they seem to me, in too slight a form and little of and illustration.

English History Told by English Poets (Classic Reprint) by Katharine Lee Bates Pdf

Excerpt from English History Told by English Poets It is hoped that this volume will find a place as a reading-book in connection with the study of English history. Poets are spirited historians; they enlist imagination and sympathy in the cause of the fading past. They turn the task of memory to pastime. They are not always accurate, but neither are more sedate chroniclers. The dulness of a record was never yet proof of its veracity. The London populace of Elizabethan times learned English history from the stage. The reigns of the Plantagenets, the Wars of the Roses, and the reigns of the Tudors were set forth in a long series of chronicle plays and historical dramas. In these, as in the lyrics and ballads that more commonly express the Stuart reigns, the tendency is to concentrate attention on royal and noble personages rather than on the life of the nation as a whole.

English Poems by Walter Cochrane Bronson Pdf

Excerpt from English Poems: Old English and Middle English Periods, 450-1550 This volume is the first in order, although the last to appear, in a series of four volumes of English Poems, in tended especially for use with college classes. The aim and method of the series as a whole have been set forth in the prefaces to the other volumes and need not be repeated here, the less because the present volume differs considerably from the rest. It cannot well be used separately, as the later volumes can, but derives its chief value from its connection with the series: for the thorough study of Old English and Middle English poetry it is quite inadequate, but in an introductory survey course in English literature it may serve a useful end. To increase the value of the book for this purpose, some specimens of the early drama are given. Although plays are elsewhere excluded from the series and some of those here included exceed the strict chrono logical limits of the period.

John Keats by F. M. Owen Pdf

Excerpt from John Keats: A Study Oh, what a wild and harmonised tune My spirit struck from all the beautiful. - Endymion. In all true poetry there is an element of prophecy, an inner vision, the scope of which is not, and ought not to be, comprehended at once. The real harmony which will make the poetry of John Keats lasting is to be found in prophetic element. For a work of genius is the expression of a mind at its greatest, a mind no longer limited and fettered with its own. individuality, but free and great by reason of its union with general life. It is the voice of the many in one, of the one in many, and such a voice must by its very nature be prophetic.

The Soul of Modern Poetry (Classic Reprint) by R. H. Strachan Pdf

Excerpt from The Soul of Modern Poetry The book is founded upon lectures on twentieth-century Poets and Poetry, de livered to a general audience in Edinburgh. In the interpretation of George Meredith's poetry, I am deeply indebted to The Poetry and Philosophy of George Meredith by G. M. Trevelyan. In dealing with the general theory of poetry, I owe much to Professor Bradley's Oxford Lectures on Poetry, and to A New Study of English Poetry by Sir Henry N ewbolt, to whom also I am grateful for his kind permission to reprint in Chapter IV.

An Introduction to the Study of Poetry (Classic Reprint) by H. B. Cotterill Pdf

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Poetry The contents of this volume originally formed part of a course of lectures which were given some four years ago in connection with the Cambridge University Extension, and afterwards before an English audience at Dresden. The interest which the subject elicited on these occasions has made me venture to hope that a few readers may be found, no less sympathetic and indulgent than my former hearers. I have left almost everything as it was written, instead of attempting to recast the whole into what might be thought a form more suitable for publication, although I am aware that much which in a lecture may be allowable, and even attractive, is apt to appear crude, superficial, and incoherent in a book. I trust that the didactic and familiar tone, which one naturally assumes as a lecturer, will not be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

English Lyrics by Robert H. Baynes Pdf

Excerpt from English Lyrics: A Collection of English Poetry of the Present Day And in these days of hurry and excitement, when men's powers and energies are taxed to the uttermost in the various callings they pursue, and when comparatively few have time or even inclination to enter on a long and systematic study of English Poetry for themselves, it can hardly be a useless or unimportant task to gather together, within the compass of a single volume, choice gems of Thought and of Expression, which may serve to gladden many a weary hour, and suggest ideas of Beauty and of Truth. The special feature of the Collection now offered to the reader consists in the fact that a large number of the Poems appear for the first time in print, while the rest, so far as I know, have never as yet found a place in any other volume, excepting the Authors' own publications, from which they have, by kind permission, been extracted.

English Poesy by W. Winslow Hall Pdf

Excerpt from English Poesy: An Induction I am asked to write some words introducing this volume, and do so with the greatest pleasure. When the articles on which it is based appeared in a little-known periodical, I read them with deep interest, and hoped to see the substance of them put forth in a more compact and accessible form. This is done in the following pages, which deserve study by all who love English poetry. No such comprehensive attempt to analyse all the different factors whose interaction produces the complex structure of our verse has been made, to my knowledge, by any previous prosodist. The author's catholicity is shown by the list of writers, belonging to very different schools, whom he accounts as predecessors. A conception of metre which adopts what is best in the work of these several writers must spread its net very wide.

Poetry and Prose by Adolphus Alfred Jack Pdf

Excerpt from Poetry and Prose: Being Essays on Modern English Poetry This little book is an attempt to make a little clearer what every one feels about poetry. It is an attempt pursued in a number of essays upon themes so familiar that in writing upon them I have the advantage of touching directly upon the actual poetical experience of almost every reader. There is the further personal advantage that in dealing with a body of poetry so often analysed, the liability to individual caprice is, at least in part, eliminated.

The French Revolution and the English Poets by Albert Elmer Hancock Pdf

Excerpt from The French Revolution and the English Poets: A Study in Historical Criticism This little book is a revision of a study made at Harvard University and presented there as a dissertation for the doctor's degree. The work was completed in April, 1897, - before the appearance of Professor Dowden's book on the same subject, - and it is now published, by the advice of friends, as a slight contribution to the strictly scientific or historical criticism of the English Romantic Movement. The held, perhaps, has been already well ploughed; but the reploughing, with the historical method, has yielded some more or less important discoveries and has placed some old ideas in stronger lights. The repetition of certain matters of common knowledge has been necessary, at times, in order to preserve a logical and continuous argument. I am glad to record here many obligations to preceding studies, especially to the writings of Morley and Taine; to these aids I have added the results of my own observation and reflection. With a new collation of materials, new interpretations of certain facts, and the maintenance of a historical point of view, the book, I trust, has an individuality of its own, and therefore justifies its issue.
