Book Description
Excerpt from The Seven Deadly Sins The business of literature is the presentation of life, all true literature resolves itself into that. No presentation of life is complete without its sins, and every master of literary art has known it, from the poet King of Israel to Robert Browning. The imagination of the Middle Ages, in many ways more virile and expansive than our own, had a strong grasp of this fact, and realised that it is the sense of fault or error that lies at the root of every forward movement, that there is no real progress unless it is accompanied by a sense of sin. Other terms may be used to describe the dynamic power which has moved societies or individuals from lower ideals to higher, but if we get beyond words to things, we see the sense of the defective character, the unrealised ideal, always and everywhere as the moving force. To the Catholic Church, touched as it often has been and not always to its detriment, with pagan mysticism, the problem of evil was associated with a mystical number; and the succeeding pages are an endeavour to trace the various presentations of the Seven Deadly Sins as they have been given by men of powerful imagination, or profound insight, at different periods in our literary history.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tales of the Seven Deadly Sins: Being the Confessio Amantis of John Gower But in all these texts, and especially in Dr. Pauli's, most of the lines are right for those whose previous training has enabled them to read Old English. There is really nothing wanted but a little help to right accentuation to enable any reader, with or with out previous training in Old English, to enjoy the Confessio Amantis. Of course a fallible and mortal editor cannot avoid some slips in the line for line accentuation of a poem of lines. I believe, however, that the reader here has Gower's song more nearly than in any former edition given as he sang it him self, nothing modernised, but rather with a few words carried back to their original form for the recovery of the right rhythm of a line. Gower's poem in this edition is so far from being jagged and unmusical that, I hope, there is not a broken line in it from first to last.

Book Description
Excerpt from Chaucer and the Seven Deadly Sins Significantly enough both Chaucer and Gower deem Chid ing one of the divisions of Wrath,20 whereas in many medieval catalogues of the Sins, this fault is classed apart from the Deadly Seven as a Sin of the Tongue. Chaucer, however, seems to have recognized the claim of 'chiding to especial treatment, since he had already illustrated the general theme of Wrath in his friar-summoner tales: but more of that in due season.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Theory About Sin: In Relation to Some Facts of Daily Life; Lent Lectures on the Seven Deadly Sins "A Theory about Sin" owes its completion to two causes. It had long been entertained by the writer, that the various developments of sin might all be referred for their existence to different forms of selfishness. Many efforts were made by him to reduce to a system the thoughts which either suggested or arose from this conception. These efforts, however, proved unsatisfactory when sufficiently elaborated to become capable of systematic arrangement. Some element in the mental problem was wanting. A winter spent in Florence in 1871-72 gave further opportunity for considering the subject of sin in relation to self. This consideration was assisted by the timely gift from the publisher of a book then lately issued from the press entitled, "A Shadow of Dante."

Book Description
Excerpt from The Sign of the Seven Sins No; I dare not reveal everything here, lest I may be misjudged. The narrative is, to say the least, a strange one; so amazing, indeed, that had I not been one of the actual persons concerned therein I would never have believed that such things could be. Yet these chapters of an eventful personal his tory, remarkable though they may appear, are nevertheless the truth, a combination of unusual circumstances which will be found startling and curious, idyllic and tragic. Reader, I would con fess all if I dared, but each of us have skeletons in our cupboards, both you and I - for, alas! I am no exception to the general rule among women.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Seven Deadly Sins of London: Drawn in Seven Several Coaches, Through the Seven Several Gates of the City; Bringing the Plague With Them The tract now reprinted marks a half-way stage, in subject as well as in date, between The Wonderfull Yeare 1603 and the most famous of Dekker's prose pieces, The Guls H om booke. The descriptions of the Plague in The Wonderfull Yeare have a command of anecdote which can hardly be expected at a distance from the event; there are ghastly things to be found in The Seven Deadly Sinnes, but they are not so thick-coming and absorbing, and their interest is one among many. The Guls Homebooke, on the other hand, has the sole object of ridiculing the extravagances of the man about town and the life of public places in I609, and the task is joyously performed, with an unrivalled wealth of detail, In The Seven Deadly Sinnes Dekker had other game in View.
