I Fantasio 63 No Trifling with Love . .111 A Door must be either Open or Shut . -175 INTRODUCTION. Alfred de Musset was born December ii, 1810, and died May 2, 1857. It was as a poet that he desired to be known, and on his poetry his fame rests ; but of the nine volumes which comprise his work, verse fills only two. His plays (of which " Louison " alone, perhaps the least poetic of all, is in metre) fill two more volumes ; the rest is made up of short novels, tales, a few essays in criticism of literature, acting, and painting; and the famous " Confession of a Child of the Age." The history of his life is far from inspiriting. Heine, whom of all writers De Musset most resembles by his lyrical gift and his Ishmaelitish turn of mind, con- densed it into the cruel sentence, " He is a young man who has had a splendid past" But Heine summed up the verdict of criticism with a kindlier epigram, when he said of De Musset that " the Muse of " viii INTRODUCTION. Comedy kissed him on the lips, but the Muse of Tragedy on the heart." The second son of a high official under the first Empire, and descended from an old and good family, Alfred de Musset was born into society's inner circle.

  • No Purchase Necessary: Books and Ownership in the Writings of Oscar Wilde
    Bristol Journal of English Studies, Issue 1 (Summer 2012) The Figure in the Watchtower: books and surveillance in Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest (1895) Dewi Evans These are the letters which Endymion wrote To one he loved in secret, and apart. And now the brawlers of the auction mart Bargain and bid for each poor blotted note, Ay! for each separate pulse of passion quote The merchant's price. I think they love not art Who break the crystal of a poet's heart That small and sickly eyes may glare and gloat. Is it not said that many years ago, In a far Eastern town, some soldiers ran With torches through the midnight, and began To wrangle for mean raiment, and to throw Dice for the garments of a wretched man, Not knowing the God's wonder, or His woe?1 i In an intertext borrowed from Keats himself, the first line of Oscar Wilde’s sonnet ‘On the Recent Sale by Auction of Keats’s Love Letters’ (1886) recasts the dead poet in the guise of the mythical ‘Endymion’, whose curse is to be consigned to eternal slumber, whilst at the same time remaining young and beautiful. The implications of using this name from mythology to refer to the dead Keats are manifold. It transforms the author into a symbol of eternal beauty that remains, as in 1 ‘On the [Recent] sale by Auction of Keats’ Love Letters’ [1886], Collins Complete Works of Oscar Wilde, ed. by Merlin Holland, 5th edn (London: Harper Collins, 2003), pp.870-1.

  • A History of the Walter Scott Publishing House
    A History of the Walter Scott Publishing House by John R. Turner A Thesis Submitted to The Faculty of Economic and Social Studies for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Information and Library Studies University of Wales, Aberystwyth 1995 Abstract Sir Walter Scott of Newcastle upon Tyne was bom in poverty and died a millionaire in 1910. He has been almost totally neglected by historians. He owned a publishing company which made significant contributions to cultural life and which has also been almost completely ignored. The thesis gives an account of Scott's life and his publishing business. Contents Introduction 1 Chapter 1 : The Life of Sir Walter Scott 4 Chapter 2: Walter Scott's Start as a Publisher 25 Chapter 3: Reprints, the Back-Bone of the Business 45 Chapter 4: Editors and Series 62 Chapter 5: Progressive Ideas 112 Chapter 6: Overseas Trade 155 Chapter 7: Final Years 177 Chapter 8: Book Production 209 Chapter 9: Financial Management and Performance of the Company 227 Conclusion 260 Bibliography 271 Appendices List of contracts, known at present, undertaken by Walter Scott, or Walter Scott and Middleton 1 Printing firms employed to produce Scott titles 7 Transcriptions of surviving company accounts 11 Walter Scott, aged 73, from Newcastle Weekly Chronicle, 2nd December 1899, p 7. Introduction The most remarkable fact concerning Walter Scott is his almost complete neglect by historians since his death in 1910. He created a vast business organization based on building and contracting which included work for the major railway companies, the first London underground railway, the construction of docks and reservoirs, ship building, steel manufacture and coal mining.

  • Life: 1882-1884
    LIFE: 1882-1884 In 1882 Sharp decided his best hope was a concentrated effort to make a living by writing. In March, he accepted an invitation to visit Rossetti in Birchington. A week after he returned to London, Rossetti died. Deeply affected by the loss of his friend and mentor, Sharp also lamented the absence of his best critic and his chief entry into the literary life of London. Attempting to turn deprivation to gain, he accepted, in June, an invitation from Macmillan and Company to write a biography of Rossetti. Thus began his first attempt at a lengthy work in prose. During the summer, while staying with his mother and sisters at a cottage in Clynder on the Gare-loch, Sharp completed two-thirds of the manuscript. He finished it in the fall after returning to London, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti: A Record and A Study was published in December. The book was widely read, and its generally favorable reception provided a significant boost to Sharp’s literary career. His first book of poems, The Human Inheritance; The New Hope; Motherhood, also appeared in 1882, published by Elliott Stock. According to Elizabeth, he considered this book “the beginning of the true work of his life.” As suggested by the title, it consists of three long poems. The first, “The Human Inheritance,” contains four sections which depict, in turn, childhood, youth, manhood/womanhood, and old age. “The New Hope” forecasts a spiritual regeneration of the world; and “Motherhood” attempts to demonstrate — by depicting the experience of giving birth — commonality of experience among all living creatures.

  • Life: 1885-1886
    LIFE: 1885-1886 1885 was a busy and productive year for Sharp. He joined the staff of the Academy, under the editorship of James Cotton, and also contributed to the Art Journal, the Examiner, the Athenaeum, and Good Words. Following a summer holiday in a cottage on West Loch Tarbert in Argyll, Sharp Adeveloped disquieting rheumatic symptoms (Memoir, 122), but still managed to write in the fall a three volume sensational novel set in Scotland and Australia called The Sport of Chance. It was published serially in The People’s Friend in early 1887 and, in 1888, in book form by Hurst and Blackett. In fall 1885, he also began to plan a biography of Shelly for Walter Scott’s Great Writers Series which was edited by his good friend Eric Robertson and, later, by Frank T. Marzial. For this series, Sharp wrote, in addition to the Shelly (1887), biographies of Heine (1888) and Browning (1890). Also during1885 he was appointed General Editor of a complimentary Walter Scott poetry series, the Canterbury Poets, and wrote introductions for two of its volumes, The Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott and The Songs, Poems, and Sonnets of William Shakespeare, both published in 1885. Ernest Rhys, another friend, edited a prose series for Walter Scott, the Camelot Classics, and he invited Sharp to write the introduction for De Quincey’s Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1886). Rhys claimed (Wales England Wed, p. 90) that when illness in 1886 forced Sharp to delay work on the introduction he wrote it himself and signed Sharp’s name.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract In this dissertation, I examine the reception and appropriation of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s works in the Low Countries during the period 1880-1940. This period roughly coincides with the writing career of Willem Kloos (1859-1938), the Dutch poet-critic who monopolised his admiration for Shelley and proclaimed himself to be his only poetical heir. I demonstrate how Kloos’s own poetics and political beliefs made him misrepresent and manipulate key facts in Shelley’s life and literary output during his never-ending promotion of the artistic, as well as spiritual, bond between himself and the English writer. More particularly, Kloos showed great determination in advancing Shelley’s works as a comprehensive endorsement of his own artistic tenets.

READER'S HISTORY OF AMERICAN LITERATURE BY THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON AND HENRY WALCOTT BOYNTON m^^^^m BOSTON, NEW YORK AND CHICAGO HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN AND COMPANY ^ht iSibetjiitic ^te^^, "ffamfiriBoe COPYRIGHT 1903 BY THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON AND HENRY W. BOYNTON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PEEPACE This book is based upon a course of lec- tures delivered during January of 1903 be- fore the Lowell Institute in Boston.

Various hearers, including some teachers of literature, took pains to express their approval of this plan, and to suggest that the material might profitably be cast into book form. This necessarily meant a good deal of revision of a kind which the lecturer did not care to undertake ; and he was able to secure the cooperation of a younger asso- ciate, to whom has fallen the task of modify- ing and supplementing the original text, so far as either process was necessary in order to make a complete and consecutive, though still brief, narrative of the course of American iv PREFACE literature. The apparatus necessary for its use as a text-book has been supplied in an appendix, and is believed to be adequate.
