Excerpt from English Literature and the Classics This book is a collection of nine lectures delivered in Oxford at the invitation of the Board of English Studies in the winter of 1911 - 12. They were addressed primarily to members of the English School, but in effect to all students of modern literature in the University who cared to hear, from students of ancient literature, something of what the Classics mean in the history of letters. The story of the Ancients and Modems is a story, happily, without conclusion, which has its sequel and its public in every generation. These lectures, here and there expanded, but printed, for the most part, as they were given, are now offered as an instal.

Excerpt from Lectures on the History of Literature To each lecture its date is here prefixed. As few changes as possible have been made in the way of correction. Slips concerning statements capable of verification and obviously due to momentary lapses of attention on the part of the reporter have in various cases been rectified. It must be remembered that Carlyle appears in our pages not as a writer but as a speaker. So, in estimating some doubtful locutions, it seemed best to follow the safe guide of analogy offered by the author's well-known Lectures on Heroes and Hero Worship, delivered in the same place, only two years later than the present course.

Excerpt from Lectures on the History of Literature: Ancient and Modern In an age like the present, rapidly attaining to the highest degree of polished refinement, the cultivation of the liberal sciences, and all that tends to the advancement of human happiness, are justly esteemed of paramount value. Thus the literature of our time is commensurate with the universality of education; while a species of insatiable curiosity is observable among all classes, busied in contemplating the progressive movements of social improvement displayed in the gradual unfolding of science and art, and in tracing the successive transitions of mankind, from the early buddings of a state of comparative barbarism, down to the rich harvest of its accumulated resources, in an age of its highest civilization and refinement. Important and instructive as is the page of history, the records of literature, - its rise, progress, and peculiarities become no less so; they form indeed, by far, its most attractive feature. At once, the result of opulence, and refined cultivation, literary pursuits, become also the means of increasing and perpetuating the civilization from which they originate; while they possess an all-pervading, powerful moral agency, and a close connexion with human happiness and social improvement; and hence it becomes associated with all that concerns the fame, the freedom and the felicity of a people.

Excerpt from New Studies of a Great Inheritance: Being Lectures on the Modern Worth of Some Ancient Writers The lectures contained in this volume, though they range over several subjects, are connected by a purpose which was present in them all. They were designed to represent, as far as the conditions of a popular lecture allowed, some of the elements in the work of the great ancient writers, especially those of Rome, which make their study of permanent value; and in particular to indicate as clearly as possible how much in the ethical framework of modern society may be traced directly to their teaching. Among the authors here studied the poet Vergil' has the chief place. Through and from his poetry the main current of gracco-roman influence has passed -to the mediaeval and modern world. Yet for this very reason the lectures devoted to Vergil are by no means concerned with him alone. Indeed, one of their objects has been to correct the natural, but unfortunate, habit of reading what he wrote as if it had no relation to the times in which it was written and to the work of his predecessors.

Excerpt from The Idea of Tragedy, in Ancient and Modern Drama: Three Lectures Delivered at the Royal Institution, February, 1900 For the busy man, in this bustling London life of ours, the incentives to dream himself into other centuries, and so keep alive in him the poetic in fluences of the past, are unhappily rare to seek; but when the occasion arises, the enjoyment is past expressing. This is what I owe to you, my dear Courtney. Yours was the Wizard's wand that guided me from century to century, from land to land. I have heard many lectures on many subjects I have been instructed sometimes, and wearied often. But you appealed to me less as a lecturer than as a singularly delightful talker, who, master of his subject in all its lights and shades, stimulates his listeners' thoughts, awakens their imaginations, and starts their memories continually on un conscious journeys from which they return with refreshed impressions.

Excerpt from Lectures on Classical Subjects I Have called this book 'Lectures, ' partly because a simple title of this kind would have been natural to the Greeks and Romans, partly because I could not devise one which would describe it more exactly. An old Oxford rhyme has been in my mind: 'Do not to many lectures go, For whether you do so or no, You'll find the substance of his notes Much better in the books he quotes' - 'much better, ' no doubt, intrinsically, but often scattered, and not very accessible, and sometimes too controversial and complicated to be of use to the student. The Professional Scholar will not find much, if anything, that is new to him in this volume. It is not to him that it is addressed: 'Persium non curo legere, Laelium Decumum volo.' This D. Laelius, Cicero says, was 'vir bonus et non inlitteratus, sed nihil ad Persium.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
