Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nineteenth Century Prose As M. Jourdain discovered two hundred years ago, the language of our daily life is prose; and when men "write as they speak, express their intended meaning and no more," we often get in the result some of the most beautiful passages of prose literature. But the straightforward vigour with which the writer of a tale of action pursues his aim would, we feel, be out of place in approaching more complex themes, where subtle emotions or the fine shades of thought are to be described and discriminated; the first essential quality we demand in style is that it should exhibit harmony with its subject. Sentences richly ornate and involved may be the only perfect way to convey to the reader the expression of the writer´s idea every word is necessary for the effect he aims at, since every word has its equivalent in the mind of the author. There is no one ideal style. In the prose of the nineteenth century the most obvious thing to notice is its variety. What unity of aim there was a hundred years ago lay less in creating a type than in destroying one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
