Présentation de l'éditeur
Introduction It is sometimes said that a piece of literature needs no introduction beyond a table of dates; but the rule can hardly be insisted upon in the case of the Ingoldsby Legends, for it has been roundly denied that they are literature at all. It would be interesting to know the exact moment at which the advocatus diaboli succeeded in turning the judges to this view. The verdict was finally recorded in 1903, when two very capable critics Dr. Richard Garnett and Mr. Edmund Gosse published a weighty four-volume Record of Engfish Literature, in which all authors worthy of the name were treated at a length proportioned to their value. The lowest in the scale was G. P. R. James, who received a notice some nine words long; but the Ingoldsby Legends and their author were left with Calverley and Locker Lampson among the still lower class whose names are never mentioned at all. A gainst this exclusion I protest. I do not hold a brief for Father I ngoldsby.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating world of 19th-century humorist, Richard Harris Barham, and his renowned work, the Ingoldsby Legends. It explores the debate surrounding the literary merit of Barham's work, particularly in the context of classical standards and exclusive judgments prevalent during his time. The author passionately argues for a more inclusive approach to literary evaluation, advocating for the recognition of writers who have resonated with contemporary audiences and influenced their tastes. The book situates Barham's work within the broader landscape of English literature, drawing comparisons with other humorists like Dickens and Peacock, and highlighting his distinctive style characterized by exuberance, unflagging spirit of fun, and a penchant for the supernatural. Barham's characters, though perhaps lacking the depth of those found in Dickens' novels, are vividly portrayed and contribute to the lively and humorous narratives. His tales, often based on historical anecdotes, are enriched by his deep appreciation for the past and his ability to bring historical settings to life. This book celebrates Barham's unique contribution to the world of humor and storytelling. It invites readers to appreciate his work not merely for its entertainment value but also for its historical significance and its reflection of the literary trends of his era. By championing Barham's legacy, this book challenges readers to reconsider the criteria for literary merit and to embrace the diversity and richness of 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.
