Edward Hayes Plumptre to Selwyn Image. *"2k ^f Edited by ALFRED H. JJVULES LONDON GEORGE ROUTLEDGE & SONS, LTD. NEW YORK: E. P. BUTTON & CO. 1907. IN the prefatory note of the first edition this work (1891) the Editor invited criticism with a view to the improvement ot future editions. Several critics responded to this appeal, and their valuable sugges- tions have been considered in pre- paring this re-issue. In some cases the text has been revised and the addi- selection varied ; in others, tions have been made to complete the representation. The biographi- cal and bibliographical matter has been brought up to date. A.H.M. PREFATORY. " THIS and the preceding volume of The Poets and the " Poetry of the Nineteenth Century are devoted to the sacred, moral, and religious verse of the period. Some of the acknowledgments made in the former volume cover, to some extent, the contents of this one; but, even at the risk of repetition, the Editor desires to express his high sense of the favour shown to him in this connection by poets and publishers alike. His special thanks are due to Dr. Alexander, Dr. Bickersteth, Dr. Walter C. Smith, and Mr. Selwyn Image, for kind permission to include selections from their works, and to their publishers for gracious acquiescence. Beyond these there are many who since the publication of the first edition of this work have passed the bourn many whose sympathetic interest is gratefully remembered and whose corre- spondence is treasured. These include the late Francis Turner Palgrave, Aubrey de Vere, Coventry Patmore, George Macdonald, E. H. Plumptre, W. Walsham How, H. S. Sutton, John Ellerton, Richard Wilton, Christina Rossetti, Alexander Grosart and S. J. Stone. At the end of this volume the reader will find a list of the twelve volumes which comprise the series, in chronological order, the order of the arrangement of the work, also a general index of authors, and a list of the authors included in each separate volume. A reference to these will enable him to find the exact VI PREFACE. position of the work of any poet he may desire to consult. The Editor feels that the not inconsiderable time, thought, and expense devoted to the perfecting of this edition has greatly added to its value, and hopes that the study and enjoyment of the poetry of the period may be thereby facilitated and enhanced.

  • The Life of Professor John Stuart Blackie, the Most Distinguished
    7'aken at his Highland hi.me, Alt-ra-Craig, Olan THE LIFE OF PROFESSOR joe mm THE MOST DISTINGUISHED SCOTSMAN OP THE DAT BY VARIOUS EMINENT WRITERS.. EDITED BY REV. JOHN G* DUNCAN, SPR1NGBURN. JOHN J. RAE, 127 STOCKWEU, STREET UA 031 b PREFACE. THIS book is not intended to be a full and continuous biography of the late Professor John. Stuart Blackie. So serious a work as that de- mands the services of one who, admitted to a closer friendship than I can claim, has also a greater literary power. I aim rather at giving the impressions left on my own mind and the minds of others, by a study of the life and work,, the sayings and sermons, the songs and lectures, the literary and other achievements of the late Professor. This volume is but a humble attempt to a to estimate give popular sketch of the man ; as far as possible the value of his contributions to life to contemporary thought and ; present within brief limits a picture of what he was and what he has done. To relate the story of the origin of this book and how I have been led to undertake the work of its Editor, would be an apology to myself rather than to the public ; but I may say that the task was not sought by, but was offered to^ me. At the time of the Professor's death I tried! in a sermon to point the lessons and the signifi- 959G34 cance of his life. Much of this sermon is included in the introductory chapter, and with slight alterations, is printed as it was delivered.

In 1971, Philip Larkin made a rare excursion into academic writing, while editing his Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse.Hissubjectwasthemostsuccessfullyricanthologyin Downloaded from literary history: The Golden Treasury, compiled by Francis Turner Palgrave and Alfred Tennyson. Published during his time at All Souls College, Larkin’s article described A. E. Housman’s no less than forty-one neat deletions in his copy of the anthology, alongside Housman’s heavy aesthetic interventions.1 Three years later, it was revealed that T. S. Eliot had used The Golden Treasury inhisyearsasanextensionlectureronModernEnglish http://litimag.oxfordjournals.org/ Literature.2 The anthology was extensively annotated by its many poetic owners, beginning with Thomas Hardy and stretching well into the twentieth century, offering a link between Victorian and Edwardian literary tastes. Yet for all its importance, no proof, trial or revision copies have previously been revealed, either in Palgrave’s hand, or in that of Tennyson. This article presents a rediscovered revision copy of The Golden Treasury in Tennyson’s library, and excavates its significance for the anthology’s textual history. By considering the copy’s annotations, the article sheds new light on Tennyson’s poetic influences, and on his at Cambridge University Library on January 4, 2017 aesthetic control over the formation of a Victorian literary canon. Of the nineteenth century’s great versifiers, Tennyson was among the least prolific of literary critics.3 What survives in The Golden Treasury is his most prolonged and revealing judgment on the full span of English verse.

  • ABSTRACT Genius, Heredity, and Family Dynamics. Samuel Taylor Coleridge and His Children: a Literary Biography Yolanda J. Gonz
    ABSTRACT Genius, Heredity, and Family Dynamics. Samuel Taylor Coleridge and his Children: A Literary Biography Yolanda J. Gonzalez, Ph.D. Chairperson: Stephen Prickett, Ph.D. The children of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Hartley, Derwent, and Sara, have received limited scholarly attention, though all were important nineteenth century figures. Lack of scholarly attention on them can be blamed on their father, who has so overshadowed his children that their value has been relegated to what they can reveal about him, the literary genius. Scholars who have studied the children for these purposes all assume familial ties justify their basic premise, that Coleridge can be understood by examining the children he raised. But in this case, the assumption is false; Coleridge had little interaction with his children overall, and the task of raising them was left to their mother, Sara, her sister Edith, and Edith’s husband, Robert Southey. While studies of S. T. C.’s children that seek to provide information about him are fruitless, more productive scholarly work can be done examining the lives and contributions of Hartley, Derwent, and Sara to their age. This dissertation is a starting point for reinvestigating Coleridge’s children and analyzes their life and work. Taken out from under the shadow of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, we find that Hartley was not doomed to be a “child of romanticism” as a result of his father’s experimental approach to his education; rather, he chose this persona for himself. Conversely, Derwent is the black sheep of the family and consciously chooses not to undertake the family profession, writing poetry.

In his own age, he was respected as a man of letters, educator, art critic, poet, friend of Alfred Tennyson, and editor of The Golden Treasury of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language, first published in 1861. This dissertation attempts to make good that neglect in two ways: firstly, through an analysis of his life and times, an assessment of his writings as an art and literary critic, an examination of his considerable corpus of original poetry, and the compilation of the first comprehensive bibliography of his own publications.
