Excerpt from Joan of Arc: The English Mail Coach This volume of selections is not to be regarded as a contribution to the study of English literature in general, or of De Quincey in particular. Its aim is more modest on the one hand, to interest the student and thereby engage him to make further acquaintance with the author for himself; on the other, to guide him to a better appreciation of prose style. The very brief statement of the salient points in De Quincey's life and character will be found adequate, I trust, for general needs. Whoever wishes to go more deeply into the subject must consult the works cited at p. V. I take the liberty of doubting whether we shall ever get the facts of De Quincey's life more precisely or much more fully than we now have them. His innate shyness, intensified by the opium habit with its attendant vagrancy, has succeeded in envelop ing most of the details in an atmosphere of mystery. The remarks upon De Quincey's style are to be used in connection with Professor Minto's treatise. His treatment of the subject is too condensed to be abridged, and too good to be merely pillaged.

Book Excerpt: ...that of the broad river, not in its weight or force perhaps, but in its easy flowing progress, in its serene, unhurried certainty of its end. To be sure, only too often the waters overflow their banks and run far afield in alien channels. Yet, when great power over the instrument of language is joined to so much constructive skill, the result is narrative art of high quality, --an achievement that must be in no small measure the solid basis of De Quincey's fame.III.

Excerpt from Joan of Arc: And the English Mail-Coach It cannot be denied that De Quincey's prose offers many difficulties to young readers. To them those comparisons and allusions which his quick, resourceful mind compassed with a single bound often present but the discouraging necessity of ferreting out unfamiliar facts and relating them by associations which are, at best, but "new hatched to the woeful time." The notes, therefore, have been made more numerous than the strictest pedagogical orthodoxy might approve in order to clear the way for a free, unhampered response to the life and color, music and magic of these two essays. So true is it that De Quincey's prose, like Milton's poetry, must be heard to be appreciated, that it is hardly necessary to express the hope that some good reader may, at the outset, read the essays aloud to the class. Then may follow at discretion such lines of study as are suggested by the introduction. Some apology is, perhaps, due for the elementary character of the outlines for the study of De Quincey's style and the criticism of any essay. These topics were honestly developed in actual classroom work in an attempt to encourage pupils to discuss an author's style; and, readily remembered in their logical order, they succeeded in assisting even the most inarticulate student to express some personal appreciation of a whole essay or of passages selected here and there for criticism. But better than being glib about the style of Joan of Arc and The English Mail-Coach is being impressed by their power; and it is the sincere wish of the editor that those who use this volume will frankly discard any part of its equipment that does not make for that end.

What is to be thought of her? What is to be thought of the poor shepherd girl from the hills and forests of Lorraine, that--like the Hebrew shepherd boy from the hills and forests of Judea--rose suddenly out of the quiet, out of the safety, out of the religious inspiration, rooted in deep pastoral solitudes, to a station in the van of armies, and to the more perilous station at the right hand of kings? The Hebrew boy inaugurated his patriotic mission by an act, by a victorious act, such as no man could deny. But so did the girl of Lorraine, if we read her story as it was read by those who saw her nearest. Adverse armies bore witness to the boy as no pretender; but so they did to the gentle girl.
