Just happened across this in Project Gutenberg, only knowing the author as the anthologist of the various multi-color Fairy Tales books. This is a collection of essays about books and authors, some quite familiar to me and others a total mystery. It was a mixed bag but had some great moments, esp. the Paradise of Poets. I also wish I could appreciate Sir Walter Scott as much as Lang obviously does and I certainly am envious of his vast reading list. Mine is nowhere near as impressive. There is a certain joy in reading about reading from someone who just loves to read, if that isn't too many reads in one very long sentence. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a prolific Scots man of letters, a poet, novelist, literary critic and contributor to anthropology. He now is best known as the collector of folk and fairy tales. As a journalist, poet, critic and historian, he soon made a reputation as one of the ablest and most versatile writers of the day. Lang was one of the founders of the study of "Psychical Research," and his other writings on anthropology include The Book of Dreams and Ghosts (1897), Magic and Religion (1901) and The Secret of the Totem (1905). He was a Homeric scholar of conservative views. Other works include Homer and the Epic (1893); a prose translation of The Homeric Hymns (1899), with literary and mythological essays in which he draws parallels between Greek myths and other mythologies; and Homer and his Age (1906). He also wrote Ballades in Blue China (1880) and Rhymes a la Mode (1884). Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
