The Collected Writings of Edward Rushton
Author: Edward RushtonPublisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1781387532
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
The edition brings together the known writings in poetry and prose of Edward Rushton (1756--1814). Blinded by trachoma after an outbreak on the slaving ship in which he was a young officer, Rushton returned to Liverpool to scratch a living as a publican, newspaper editor, and finally bookseller and publisher. In his day Rushton was a well-known Liverpool poet and reformer, with an impressively wide range of causes (the Liverpool Blind School, the Liverpool Marine Society, and many radical political groups). Many of his songs, particularly the marine ballads, were very familiar in Britain and America. In the later Victorian period, as a particular version of romanticism began to dominate literary sensibilities, Rushton’s overt politics fell from favour and he became rather obscure, at least by comparison with his like-minded (but much better off) friend William Roscoe. As the history of slavery abolition and other radical causes has come to be re-examined, the bicentenary of Rushton’s death, falling in November 2014, has suggested an opportunity to take a new look at his remarkable career and impressive body of work. There has never been a critical edition of Rushton’s poems. His own 1806 edition omits much, including what is his best-known work in modern times, the anti-slavery West-Indian Eclogues of 1787; the posthumous 1824 edition omits much from the 1806 collection while drawing in other work. The present edition works from the earliest datable sources, in newspapers, chapbooks, periodicals, and broadsides, providing a clean text with significant revisions and variants noted in the commentary. Unfamiliar words are glossed, and brief introductions and contextual commentaries, informed by the latest scholarship, are given for each piece of writing.

Book Description
Excerpt from Specimens of the British Poets: With Biographical and Critical Notices and an Essay on English Poetry With this, the Second Edition of these Specimens, their original Editor has had nothing to do, being prevented by 'other engagements from resuming the task of revising them. Various inaccuracies of the former edition have been removed in this, - some silently, for it had been burdening the book with use less matter to have retained them in the text, and pointed them out in a note, -while others, that entangled a thought or gave weight to it, have been al lowed to stand, but not without notes to stop the perpetuity of the error. With many of the now-discovered inaccuracies of the work in dates and mere minutiae, Mr. Campbell is not properly chargeable: some may be laid to the excursive nature of his task; others to the imperfect information of those days compared with ours, for we cannot have lived two-and-twenty years without important additions to our literary facts. Mr. Campbell's excellent taste in the selection of these Specimens has never been disputed; and of his Critical Disquisitions the best eulogy is in the fact that no work of any importance on our literary history has been written since they were published, without commendatory references to them; in particular, that they have been corrected and appealed to by Lord Byron, applaudingly quoted by Sir Walter Scott, and frequently cited and referred to by Mr. Hallam.

He also mortgaged some property belonging to his wife by inheritance, - a small estate called Asbyes, -u-and being unable to afford poor-rates, was left untaxed. In 1580 the youngest son, Edmund, was born, and baptized May 3d 3 while William had attained the age of sixteen years. Mean time there were not wanting events that may have helped to foster in the youth the poetic and dramatic bias of his genius. In 1575, Queen Elizabeth was entertained by the Earl of Leicester at Kenilworth Castle, where masques, pageants, and entertainments of. The most gorgeous description were enacted for her Majesty's delectation 3 and it is by no means unlikely that the lad of eleven years old, with heart and brain on fire with accounts of what was in prospect at a place only fourteen miles off, found meaiis to get over there to witness these princely shows. Besides this, there were occasional theatrical performances at stratford-upon-avon itself, by eminent travelling companies of actors from the metropolis; and many of these actors were natives of Wil liam's own birthplace and its neighbourhood. The names of Burbage, Slye, Hemings, Tooley, and Greene - all players afterwards connected with Shakespeare's dramatic career are those of men more or less owing their origin to the county of Warwickshire, and very probably were objects of boyish admiration to the Stratford stripling, who would be sure to find means of making acquaintance with them.

Book Description
Excerpt from Specimens of the Early English Poets, Vol. 3 of 3: To Which Is Prefixed, an Historical Sketch of the Rise and Progress of the English Poetry and Language It has been remarked by Bishop Percy, that almost all the poetry which was composed during the early part of the preceding reign was remarkable for the facility and musical flow of its versification; whereas the compositions of Donne, Jonson, and many of their contemporaries are, in general, unusually harsh and discordant. Indeed, our literature could not fail of reflecting, in some degree, the manners of the court. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
