Excerpt from The Principles of Success Literature: Edited With Introduction and Notes
Of the corrections that have been made in this second edition, but one seems to call for special notice. The word 'lilt,' which occurs on page 148, line 5, and which in the first edition, through a natural mistake on the part of the proof-reader, appeared as 'tilt,' has been restored to its original form. Lewes's use of the word to lilt stones from a cart is certainly peculiar, but much less so than would be the use of 'tilt in the same connection.

Excerpt from The Principles of Success Literature: Edited With Introduction and Notes
The editor's purpose in reprinting this admirable little treatise on literature is, primarily, to make it accessible to his own classes in rhetoric and literary criticism. It has been his custom, as it doubtless is that of many other teachers of rhetoric, to supplement the text-book by reference to various sources of information upon psychology, logic, language, and æsthetics. Books on these topics, written by persons who know what they are writing about, neither too abstruse nor too much diluted with sentiment, are singularly few in number. Professor A. S. Cook did good service, therefore, to teachers and students alike, when, in 1885, he brought these Fortnightly articles again to general attention by reprinting them in pamphlet form. Hardly any other work on literature with which I am acquainted is so thoroughly sound in principle, and at the same time so suggestive and inspiring. Lewes's essay has, too, what is noticeably lacking in many better known writings, a bracing, healthful tone. The customary sentimentalizing about the glories of literature is reduced to a minimum. Literary and critical superstitions of various kinds are ruthlessly picked in pieces. It is just the work to go into the hands of that hope and despair of the teacher of rhetoric, - the callow young man with a sneaking ambition for literature, much sentiment, and a decided relish for rhetorical decoration.
The book may be used in the class-room in a great variety of ways. The writer's preference is for what may be called a rudimentary form of the seminary method. The members of the class are not asked to recite as from a text-book, but, having read the treatise, or a portion of it, with much care, are encouraged to discuss with the instructor and with one another, as many of the important points as the time will allow. Advantage may be taken of the interest thus aroused to suggest other lines of reading.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores literature as a record of human thought and experience. The author, a prominent philosopher and literary critic of his time, proposes a framework for understanding the principles that drive literary success. He argues that successful literature embodies three key elements: vision, sincerity, and beauty. Vision, in this context, refers to the author's ability to clearly convey their perception of reality through vivid imagery and depth of insight. Sincerity demands that the author presents their views with authenticity and conviction, while beauty encompasses the aesthetic qualities of the writing, including style and structure. Through these elements, authors effectively engage readers, fostering understanding, inspiring reflection, and ultimately leaving a lasting impact on the literary landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
