Literary Recollections and Sketches (Classic Reprint) by Francis Espinasse Pdf
Excerpt from Literary Recollections and Sketches In the days of my boyhood there may have been several denizens of Edinburgh, my native city, who knew and remembered Burns; but I was aware of the existence of only two such, and both of them belonged to the gentler sex. One of them played a prominent part in the poet's biography, being no other than the Clarinda of his fervid love-letters, the 'Nancy' of several of his songs and other poems, especially of the exquisite and impassioned 'Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!' When I was a boy and first heard of her as alive and in Edinburgh, the Clarinda of Burns's rapturous prose and verse was an old and invalid lady of eighty, living in solitude and seclusion in a quiet little street just round the south-western corner of the Calton Hill. There a short walk would take her to the monument erected, opposite the southern boundary of the High School of Edinburgh, to the poet whose memory she appears to have cherished to the last. She was the widow of a husband who was unworthy of her and whose name, M'Lehose, she has made familiar to all worshippers of Burns. Among these, in a boyish way, I might then be reckoned.

The Cambridge Companion to English Literature, 1830–1914 by Joanne Shattock Pdf
The nineteenth century witnessed unprecedented expansion in the reading public and an explosive growth in the number of books and newspapers produced to meet its demands. These specially commissioned essays examine not only the full range and variety of texts that entertained and informed the Victorians, but also the boundaries of Victorian literature: the links and overlap with Romanticism in the 1830s, and the roots of modernism in the years leading up to the First World War. The Companion demonstrates how science, medicine and theology influenced creative writing and emphasizes the importance of the visual in painting, book illustration and in technological innovations from the kaleidoscope to the cinema. Essays also chart the complex and fruitful interchanges with writers in America, Europe and the Empire, highlighting the geographical expansion of literature in English. This Companion brings together the most important aspects of this prolific and popular period of English literature.
