Download or read book Burlesque (Classic Reprint) written by Richard Henry Stoddard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burlesque If the principle which should guide the editor of the Treasure-Trove Series has been followed, as I think it has, the result will be a series of readable little volumes, which one may take up at odd intervals with the certainty of finding some things, I would fain hope many things, in which he cannot fail to be interested. He should look, in the first place, for amusement; in the second place, for variety: if he finds these qualities here, he has something to be thankful for. He has to be thankful, at any rate, for the labor which the compiler has expended for him, - labor which is not to be measured by what is accepted so much as by what is rejected, the reading of many books to no end. If the best books are those which are not written, as a cynical critic would have us believe, the worst books are certainly in the same category, "a happy thought," as a great living philosopher would have us believe, which is not without its compensations. Not to dwell, however, upon these literary possibilities, which we can well spare, so numberless are the books on all sorts of subjects which every day brings forth, let us turn for a moment to the papers which follow. We have first, from the pen of England's greatest humorist, a serio-comic protest against an individual with whom we in America arc tolerably familiar. I refer to that rampant and irrepressible myth "the noble savage." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burlesques Mr. H. M. Bateman possesses in remarkable degree that rare gift, a real power of comic draughsmanship. He is capable not only of comic vision, but of comic expression. His "line" is an instinctive expression of the comic: it reveals an innate feeling for the essentially humorous. To put it briefly, if somewhat vaguely, he "draws funnily." He is the terse and witty pictorial raconteur - a shrewd observer who can sum up a character, or conjure up a scene, with a few strokes of such penetrating insight that they carry instant conviction. Humour of the kind which the drawings in this volume embody is so spontaneous, and the expression of it so direct and incisive, that there is perhaps a tendency to overlook the intensity of the effort which produces the seemingly effortless result. Mr. Bateman's method is sometimes described as caricature, but that is to miss its true significance, though the term may seem, upon the surface, appropriate enough. Caricature is the art of inducing humour, by dint of satirical exaggeration, in a subject not necessarily humorous of itself. Mr. Bateman's more difficult function is to reveal humour, not to impose it. There is no trace of the self-conscious humorist in these drawings. Facetiousness is a quality conspicuously and gratefully absent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
