Literary Studies (Classic Reprint) by Joseph Jacobs Pdf

Excerpt from Literary Studies I have explained in the Introduction why I have thought it worth while to reprint these 'eloges' of four of the chief English writers who died in the last decade and to add certain reviews of books by or about them. I desire here to emphasise the fact that these obituaries were in every case written within the two or three days that elapsed between the death of their subjects and the appearance of the ensuing issue of the 'Athenaeum.' I have nothing to say against the practice of others, but I cannot myself anticipate the Great Destroyer. I have to thank the Publisher and Editor of the 'Athenaeum' for their kind and ready permission to reprint these articles from its pages. P.S. - To the present re-issue I have added articles on Tennyson, Stevenson, and Seeley, which appeared immediately after their death. I have to thank the Editors of the Academy and Athenaeum, for permission to reproduce these. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Literary Studies, Vol. 1 by William A. Jones Pdf

Excerpt from Literary Studies, Vol. 1: A Collection of Miscellaneous Essays The present final collection of his miscellaneous papers, originally written for, and printed in the American Monthly Magazine, Arcturus, the Church Record, the Democratic and Whig Reviews, Boston Miscellany, Union Magazine, Literary World, and other periodicals, is intended to include such of the writer's papers (chiefly of literary criticism) as have appeared to him worthy of preservation. With the exception of a few comparatively recent articles, they were mostly written and printed 1838-1845, and comprise a little more than one-half of his entire contributions to the press up to the present date. Most of the papers here collected (since the publication of The Analyst, anonymously in 1839, and which was made up of lucubrations written the year and a half previously) have appeared already in the volumes of Literary Studies and Essays upon Authors and Books. Holding the doctrine of Hazlitt, however, to be sound, that a first edition is as good as MSS., as the impressions of all these three miscellanies were limited, and have been long since out of print, and as numerous typographical errors had crept in, as well as mistakes of fact and opinion, it was thought a new and correct edition might be favorably received by the present generation of readers, young students in particular, in college, the lovers of the choice old English literature, and those cultivated general readers to whom these miscellanies are unknown.

Essays and Literary Studies (Classic Reprint) by Stephen Leacock Pdf

Excerpt from Essays and Literary Studies Now the professor more than any ordinary person finds himself shut out from the general society of the business world. The rest of the interests have, after all, some things in com mon. The circles intersect at various points. Iron and steel has a certain fellowship with pulp and paper, and the whole lot of them may be converted into the common ground of preference shares and common stock. But the professor is to all of them an outsider. Hence his natural dissimilarity is unduly heightened in its appearance by the sort of avocational iso lation in which he lives.

Poets and Novelists by George Barnett Smith Pdf

Excerpt from Poets and Novelists: A Series of Literary Studies The following Studies - however defective in other re spects - possess some claim to exhaustiveness, and con sequently I have ventured to hope that with many persons they may have a permanent value. They have been revised, and in some cases extended, from the leading Reviews and Magazines. Notwithstanding, how ever, the favourable reception the Essays met with on their original appearance, I might not now have collected them, and endeavoured to give to them 'a local habitation and a name, ' but for the fact that I have been repeatedly pressed ton'do so by numerous individuals - whose tribute (in some cases, at least) I cannot but regard as flattering - who were desirous of possessing them in a volume. I can only trust that the public and the press will now en dorse their verdict. The subjects of the papers, however imperfectly treated, are amongst the most attractive which can be named for lovers of books. With regard to the.

Short Studies in Literature (Classic Reprint) by Hamilton Wright Mabie Pdf

Excerpt from Short Studies in Literature That these brief chapters may prove helpful to readers of books who desire to become students of literature, is the hope which the writer ventures to cherish in the face of defects more obvious to him than to the most unsympathetic critic. These Studies are not critical but interpretative they are neither exhaustive nor inclusive; they are mainly hints and suggestions. Each chapter might be elaborated into a volume. If they serve to indi cate the leading lines of literary development, the fundamental divisions and distinctions, the deep and vital tendencies, they will accomplish the end for which they were written. That they represent deep convictions concerning the significance of literature rather than a purely critical attitude, will be apparent to the most indifferent reader. The writer is glad of an Opportunity of putting forth what he trusts may be, to some readers at least, a book of insight, rather than a contribution to the.

Literary Studies From the Great British Authors (Classic Reprint) by H. H. Morgan Pdf

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.

Literary Studies of Poems, New and Old (Classic Reprint) by Dorothea Beale Pdf

Excerpt from Literary Studies of Poems, New and Old The following is chiefly a selection from papers written for English literature classes at the Ladies' College, Cheltenham. Others are reprints from various periodicals. The first two were written for meetings of our Guild of old pupils, at which were given respectively scenes from Dante, and from Spenser's Faery Queene. I have thought it best to leave them in their original form. The allusions in the Britomart paper are to stained glass windows representing six episodes in the story, (1) Britomart is looking into the magic mirror. (2) She is clothing herself in armour in the Church. (3) She is defending the Red-cross Knight. (4) She is passing through the fire. (5) She meets Sir Arthegall. (6) She sends him out to accomplish his work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Literary Studies and Reviews (Classic Reprint) by Richard Aldington Pdf

Excerpt from Literary Studies and Reviews Scotland flattered Ronsard with praise and rewards. His reputation spread even into critical Italy, for it was when Brantome was buying a grand volume of Petrarch at Venice that a grand magnzfique rebuked him, saying that in Ronsard France possessed a poet twice as great as Petrarch. This excessive and almost universal admiration found its 'final expression in Binet's Vie de Ronsard, where.
