Masters of Literature, De Quincey (Classic Reprint) by Thomas de Quincey Pdf
Excerpt from Masters of Literature, De Quincey De Quincey's active life synchronized with the period when the English and Scottish literary periodicals were at the apogee of their influence and success. They sup plied the public with a great deal both of its serious, and its lighter, reading; they were powerful, wealthy, and important, and their circulation was, for their time, large; they were conducted by enterprising publishers or keen men of business who, in their ardent rivalry with one another, were eager to draw the ablest pens of Britain into their service. A monthly or quarterly press which had among its contributors such writers as Coleridge, Keats, Landor, Sir William Hamilton, Christopher North, Lockhart, Hood, Lamb, Hazlitt, Jeffrey, John Stuart Mill, Carlyle, and Macaulay, had some reason to think well of itself.

Excerpt from Thomas De Quincey: A Study Reminiscences, has left a charming sketch. I have often found him at home, wrote Hood, then a sub-editor of the London Magazine, doubtless on a quest for copy, ' I have often found him quite at home, in the midst of a German ocean of Literature in a storm flooding all the floor, the table and the Chairs billows of books tossing, tumbling, surging, open on such occasions I have willingly listened by the hour, whilst the Philosopher, standing, with his eyes fixed on one side of the room, seemed to be less speaking than reading from a handwriting on the wall.' Now and then he would diverge for a Scotch mile or two to the right or left, till I was tempted to inquire with Peregrine in 'john Bull, ' Do you never deviate? But he always came safely back to the point where he had left, not lost the scent, and thence hunted his topic to the end. But look! We are in the small hours, and a change comes o'er the spirit of that old familiar face.' A faint hectic tint leaves the check, the eyes are a degree dimmer, and each is surrounded by a growing shadow signs of the waning influence of that Potent Drug whose stupendous Pleasures and enormous Pains have been so eloquently described by the English opium-eater.

De Quincey as Literary Critic (Classic Reprint) by J. H. Fowler Pdf
Excerpt from De Quincey as Literary Critic Extracts - a pitiable method! Young people have time to read long books and the imagination to seize all'the great things.' In these words the great Napoleon justly condemned the practice of making 'snibrets' of literature the staple of education. But the criticism is often carried farther, and With less reason. We have all heard anthologies condemned again and again as superficial things. Everybody, it is said, ought to make his own anthology. An admirable counsel of perfection, which becomes every year less and less possible of fulfilment as year by year the printing presses of all the nations increase indefinitely the vast piles of books already existing in the world. Even so genuine a lover of literature as Sir Arthur quiller-couch has lately expressed some gratitude to those who burnt the great library at Alexandria and destroyed an immense amount of the accumulated rubbish of the ancient world. The real charge against them, he says, is not that they burnt, but only that they burnt indiscriminately. In other words, he does not blame them for making an anthology, or even for making it violently, but only for making it badly.

De Quincey (Classic Reprint) by Henry Stephens Salt Pdf
Excerpt from De Quincey The Farm, and then at Greenbay, a country house built by his father, and at that time still outside the spreading Circle of the city.' Here, in one or the other Of these quiet retreats, he felt the earliest impressions of the glory Of life and the pathos of life's withdrawal - that ever lasting contrast which has been so marvellously depicted by him.2 Living in the country, he says, I was naturally first laid hold Of by rural appearances or incidents. The very earliest feel ings that I recall Of a powerful character were connected with some Clusters of crocuses in the garden. Next I felt a passion of grief in a pro found degree for the death Of a beautiful bird, a kingfisher, which had been taken up in the garden with a broken wing. That occurred before I was two years of age. Next I felt, no grief at all, but awe the most enduring, and a dawning sense of the infinite, which brooded over me more or less after that time. Let the student Of De Quincey mark well that dawning sense Of the infinite, for therein lies the Clue to a full understanding of his genius and writings.

Selections From De Quincey by Milton Haight Turk Pdf
Excerpt from Selections From De Quincey: Edited With an Introduction This volume contains - besides the Confessions, several of the Snspz'rz'a, and other popular pieces the most impor tant parts of De Quincey's Antooz'ogmp/zz'o Sketoizes and some of his most interesting Literary Romz'nz'soenoos. It is hoped that the selections will serve to illustrate pretty fully De Quincey's varied literary activity, while at the same time they throw light upon his life and character. A portion of the Introduction is devoted to the study of his personality. The text adopted is, except in the case of the Confessions, the latest to which De Quincey gave his approval. For the use of the original Confessions in place of the greatly enlarged version of 1856, there appears to be a better excuse than that of brevity. As will be pointed out in the Introduction, it is at least a question whether the earlier form had not the preference of the author himself.
