Literary Taste: How to Form It

Rate this audiobook

Essay/Short nonfiction, Fiction, Instruction, Literature, Non-fiction
Chapter: 14 | Listen: 2

Arnold Bennett describes a method for enjoying literature, and suggests the contents of a comprehensive library. Chapters 1-10 and 14 describe his method for learning to enjoy literature. Chapters 11, 12, and 13 contain detailed lists of the 337 volumes required to complete a comprehensive library of English works. This reading is from the 1913 version at Project Gutenberg, and so does not contain the revisions made by Swinnerton for the 1939 edition, which included authors of the early Twentieth Century. Swinnerton’s revisions are available from Wikipedia. [chương_files]

Soup of Alphabets, Volume 003

Poetry
Chapter: 10 | Listen: 2

This third “stove-top” full of Alphabet Soups –again– runs the fullest gamut! It ranges from country scenes (Alphabets of Fruits, Birds, Animals and “Country Scenes”), to just plain silliness (Absurd ABCs and Lear’s Nonsense Alphabet #5), and finally, topical subjects (the Anti-Slavery Alphabet, the Alphabet of Celebrities –a list quite different when compared to our current crew– and an Alphabet of Old Testament History). Have fun, and be sure to tune in for the fourth volume, which promises to break new ground in Alphabet Books! (Summary by Denny Sayers) [chương_files]

The Appreciations and Criticisms of the Works of Charles Dickens

Rate this audiobook

Essay/Short nonfiction, Fiction, Literature, Non-fiction
Chapter: 32 | Listen: 1

“These papers were originally published as prefaces to the separate books of Dickens in one of the most extensive of those cheap libraries of the classics which are one of the real improvements of recent times. Thus they were harmless, being diluted by, or rather drowned in Dickens. My scrap of theory was a mere dry biscuit to be taken with the grand tawny port of great English comedy; and by most people it was not taken at all–like the biscuit. Nevertheless the essays were not in intention so aimless as they appear in fact. I had a general notion of what needed saying about Dickens to the new generation, though probably I did not say it. I will make another attempt to do so in this prologue, and, possibly fail again.” [chương_files]

Poems by the Most Deservedly Admired Mrs. Katherine Philips, The Matchless Orinda

Poetry
Chapter: 11 | Listen:

The poet Katherine Philips was called “The Matchless Orinda” in her day and was well known for her works, both personal and political. She was a staunch Royalist (a supporter of Charles I and his son during the English Civil Wars) and wrote poetic defenses of the monarchy. She was also part of a literary coterie, in which she and her friends had “code names.” Philips herself was “Orinda,” her husband “Antenor,” and her friend Anne Owen “Lucasia.” She is perhaps best known today for her passionate poems celebrating female friendship.
