Condizione: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 54 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | " One of the strangest examples of the degree to which ordinary life is undervalued is the example of popular literature, the vast mass of which we contentedly describe as vulgar. The boy's novelette may be ignorant in a liter…ary sense, which is only like saying that a modern novel is ignorant in the chemical sense, or the economic sense, or the astronomical sense; but it is not vulgar intrinsicallyit is the actual centre of a million flaming imaginations. In former centuries the educated class ignored the ruck of vulgar literature. They ignored, and therefore did not, properly speaking, despise it. Simple ignorance and indifference does not inflate the character with pride. A man does not walk down the street giving a haughty twirl to his moustaches at the thought of his superiority to some variety of deep-sea fishes. The old scholars left the whole under-world of popular compositions in a similar darkness.".

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'The Defendant' by G. K. Chesterton is a collection of essays that delve into the defense of various seemingly trivial or undervalued aspects of society and literature. Chesterton challenges the conventional disdain for popular literatu…re, such as penny dreadfuls, arguing that they fulfill a fundamental human need for storytelling and adventure. He contends that these narratives, often dismissed as vulgar, are in fact a testament to the enduring human spirit and imagination. In his essays, Chesterton also defends the making of rash vows, suggesting that such commitments reflect a profound moment of personal truth and aspiration. He critiques the modern aversion to vows, linking it to a broader cultural fear of commitment and change. Furthermore, Chesterton explores the symbolism of skeletons, arguing that they should not be seen as mere emblems of death but as representations of life's enduring structure. He also addresses the importance of public monuments and the art of publicity, advocating for a celebration of public virtues and achievements. Lastly, Chesterton defends the genre of nonsense literature, exemplified by the works of Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll, as a vital expression of creativity and a necessary escape from the rigidity of rational thought. Through these essays, Chesterton invites readers to reconsider their perceptions and embrace the beauty and significance of the overlooked and the ordinary.
