Book Excerpt: recounted, a story to be told, will often be in its second reading. And though there are instances of great writers who have been no artists, an unconscious tact sometimes directing work in which we may detect, very pleasurably, many of the effects of conscious art, yet one of the greatest pleasures of really good prose literature is in the critical tracing out of that conscious artistic structure, and the pervading sense of it as we read. Yet of poetic literature too; for, in truth, the kind of constructive intelligence here supposed is one of the forms of the imagination.That is the special function of mind, in style. Mind and soul: -hard to ascertain philosophically, the distinction is real enough practically, for they often interfere, are sometimes in conflict, with each other. Blake, in the last century, is an instance of preponderating soul, embarrassed, at a loss, in an era of preponderating mind. As a quality of style, at all events, soul is a fact, in certain writers- the way they have of absorbing language, of attracting it into the peculiar spirit they are of, with a subtlety which makes the actual result seem like some inexplicable inspiration. By mind, the literary artist reaches us, through static and objective indications of design in his work, legible to all. By soul, he reaches us, somewhat capriciously perhaps, one and not another, through vagrant sympathy and a kind of immediate contact. Mind we cannot Read More. Contents: Style. Wordsworth. Coleridge.

Sir Allen Lane (1902-1970) was a British publisher who, together, with his brothers Richard and John Lane, founded Penguin Books in 1935, bringing high-quality paper-back fiction and non-fiction to the mass market. Most booksellers and authors were against the idea of paperbacks. They believed that paperbacks would result in individuals spending less money on books. Lane was very stubborn when it came to his own company; he operated mainly on intuition and imagination. Once he decided on creating paperbacks he set about in deciding what the books should look like and finding a name. Edward Young designed the horizontal bands and used Gill Sans Bold for the title's lettering. Young was also sent the the Zoo in Regents Park to sketch penguins for the cover. Allen Lane wanted a cover design that was consistent and easily recognizable. In 1937, the font was changed to Times New Roman. Lane's Pelican Books were non-fiction & his Penguin Books were fiction and meant to entertain. The paperback venture was incredibly successful, and Lane expanded into other areas including Penguin Classics, starting in 1945. Samuel Taylor Coleridge's classic tayle of the Ancient Mariner, published with a signed letter by Allen Lane! Presents well.
