Excerpt from Studies in English Literature The chapters in this volume are to some extent reprints but several of them are considerably en larged, and some are so changed in substance and form as to present an original aspect. 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 ...

Excerpt from The Realms of Gold: A Book for Youthful Students of English Literature There is a definite purpose in this little volume, and I hope that it ill be in some measure accomplished. My aim is to create in youthful readers a love of good literature, and in the early days of life that love can be most readily awakened by appealing to the poets and to the imaginative writers, whose works, akin to poetry, not only give delight to the you...

Excerpt from Short Monographs on Great Writers: Dr. Johnson It is not true, as Macaulay asserted, that Boswell was a man Of the meanest and feeblest intellect. NO such intellect could have produced a consummate work Of art, which the Essayist ac knowledged the Life to be. Boswell knew from the outset what he designed to do, and did it to the admiration Of the world. But the book, strange to say, could not have been written by a man Of high ch...

Excerpt from Aubrey De Vere's Poems: A Selection Mr. de Vere's poetry, like good wine, needs no bush, but a few remarks by way of introducing this selection to the public may not be put of place. Verse of a fine order is not necessarily popular. If it deal with large issues and does not appeal to momentary interests, if it be free from all attempts to catch the trick of the time, and expresses the nobler and more permanent aspects of human l...

Excerpt from Heroes of Literature: English Poets, a Book for Young Readers Let it be understood, then, that this book is in tended to excite interest, but not to satisfy it - to show the reader where to look rather than to state comprehensively what he is likely to find. It may be added that no attempt is made to estimate the position of living poets, and that it has been found necessary to omit many names which would hold no mean place in a ...

Excerpt from The Age of Pope: 1700-1744 In these respects he is the literary herald of a century which, in the earlier half at least, is remarkable in the use it makes of our mother tongue for the exercise of common sense. The Revolution of 1688 produced a change in English politics scarcely more remarkable than the change that took place a little later in English literature and is to be seen in the poets and wits who are known familiarly as ...

Taking seriously the Gospel as a unified narrative and the Gospel's late first-century Jewish setting, John Dennis investigates the Fourth Gospel's appropriation of Jewish restoration theology. Employing John 11.47-52 as the starting point, the author argues that one of the primary functions of restoration theology in John is to interpret Jesus' death in the light of Jewish restoration expectations. A new angle on Jesus' death in the Fourth Go...
