Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Personal Forces in Modern Literature The papers in the present volume are not intended as contributions to critical literature. They are of a pioneer character, and are concerned rather with the "personal equation" of the writers discussed than with the purely literary aspects of their work. Originally delivered in the form of lectures, they retain the more colloquial form of the thing spoken. My excuse for publishing them is that in the form of lectures they served to kindle interest in the personalities of the writers and lead to a study of the originals. The authors dealt with cover many fields of thought - philosophy, science, poetry, fiction, criticism - but the guiding principle in the selection of names has been to exhibit as great a diversity of temperament as possible. The "moralist" leads the way, as the one who exhibits his temperament as much by what he suppresses as by what he expresses of himself. And the series closes with the vagabond, who flings himself unreservedly at the reader, whims, peculiarities and all. Thus an attempt at sequence is made, not on literary but on psychological grounds. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
