Night and Day Thoughts, in Prose, Arranged to Look Like Verse
Author: Edward Rainford
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781330178690
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Excerpt from Night and Day Thoughts, in Prose, Arranged to Look Like Verse The Author, warned by a very just critique in the Spectator of December 24, of the almost entire absence of metre in his so-called Sonnets, wishes at once to say, the object of his writing them was not to make the least pretension to poetry, but to reveal himself as the thought rose to his mind, aiming at clearness of expression, with no other imitation of the Sonnet than mere rhyme implied. In one or two instances the effort was made to attempt to rise to the dignity of that most difficult of all compositions, but feeling the effort hopeless he abandoned it, as the loose style he supposed would at once have proved. This is not stated to disarm a just criticism, but to vindicate himself from the imputation of folly to those who know him. The title should have been, "Thoughts in Prose, arranged to look like Poetry;" and one to this effect was printed, but was thrown aside, from the idea that the work would explain itself.

Each Mind a Kingdom
Author: Beryl Satter
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520927179
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
The New Thought Movement was an enormously popular late nineteenth-century spiritual movement led largely by and for women. Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science is but one example of the fascinating range of these groups, which advocated a belief in mind over matter and espoused women's spiritual ability to purify the world. This work is the first to uncover the cultural implications of New Thought, embedding it in the intellectual traditions of nineteenth-century America, and illuminating its connections with the self-help and New Age enthusiasms of our own fin-de-siècle. Beryl Satter examines New Thought in all its complexity, presenting along the way a captivating cast of characters. In lively and accessible prose, she introduces the people, the institutions, the texts, and the ideas that comprised the New Thought movement. This fascinating social and intellectual history explores the complex relationships among social reform, alternative religion, medicine, and psychology which persist to this day.
