Mary Suddard: Keats,
Shelley and Shakespeare Studies & Essays in English Literature
“He
took his soul as he would a bottle of rich red wine, and shook it up, and
held it against the light to watch it settle down. No hurry, no worry; a
deliberate intensity. No fear of public opinion either; no terror and
trembling before any judge but his own conscience.” (from ‘The
Evolution of Keats's Mind’)
“Humour
in literature is nothing but the psychological study of individual
exaggerations, made in a sym-pathetic spirit, guided and enlightened but
not attenuated by reason. Such is the humour that was, if not created, at
least revived, renewed, reinstated and definitely established as a
literary form by
This
collection of nine essays and nine studies by Mary Suddard (1888–1909)
contains literary criticism on the great minds of English literature.
Apart from the eponymous writers, the book also features pieces on
Chaucer, Swift, and Wordsworth, among others. Often brief and to-the-point,
Suddard is nevertheless capable of picturesque, captivating language, thus
doing her subjects justice. Composed during the final years of her life,
these texts give a glimpse of a career that an untimely death precluded.
