The Man with the Hoe Introduction The Painting The Poem The Debate ... Discussion Search Digital Cameras Edwin Markham's Poems By Ambrose Bierce The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce (New York: Neale Publishing Co., 1909). Best known today for his short stories about the Civil War and The Devil's Dictionary Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) was also a popular and influential columnist for William Randolph Hearst's San Francisco Examiner, the paper that first published Markham's poem. As this review indicates, Bierce was a fan of Markham's poetry until "The Man with the Hoe" was published. While others were hailing Markham as the "Poet Laureate of Democracy," Bierce concluded that "the charming poet has become a demagogue, a 'labor leader' spreading that gospel of hate known as 'industrial brotherhood,' a 'walking delegate' diligently inciting a strike against God and clamoring for repeal of the laws of nature." In the Collected Works, this piece is dated 1899 but portions of it were published in a June 10, 1900, column inspired by Markham's participation in an Examiner symposium on "the rich man and the poor man."

Home Author Index Shakespeare The Bible ... Z The Devil's Dictionary Search all of The Devil's Dictionary PREFACE The Devil's Dictionary was begun in a weekly paper in 1881, and was continued in a desultory way at long intervals until 1906. In that year a large part of it was published in covers with the title The Cynic's Word Book, a name which the author had not the power to reject or happiness to approve. To quote the publishers of the present work: "This more reverent title had previously been forced upon him by the religious scruples of the last newspaper in which a part of the work had appeared, with the natural consequence that when it came out in covers the country already had been flooded by its imitators with a score of 'cynic' books The Cynic's This, The Cynic's That, and The Cynic's t'Other. Most of these books were merely stupid, though some of them added the distinction of silliness. Among them, they brought the word 'cynic' into disfavor so deep that any book bearing it was discredited in advance of publication." Meantime, too, some of the enterprising humorists of the country had helped themselves to such parts of the work as served their needs, and many of its definitions, anecdotes, phrases and so forth, had become more or less current in popular speech. This explanation is made, not with any pride of priority in trifles, but in simple denial of possible charges of plagiarism, which is no trifle. In merely resuming his own the author hopes to be held guiltless by those to whom the work is addressed enlightened souls who prefer dry wines to sweet, sense to sentiment, wit to humor and clean English to slang.

Ambrose Bierce E scritor satírico y periodista estadounidense, nacido en Meigs County (Ohio). Prestó sus servicios en el ejército de la Unión durante la Guerra Civil estadounidense (1861-1865) y dirigió una expedición militar al oeste. Bierce se estableció en San Francisco, donde escribió breves e ingeniosos artículos políticos y una columna para el periódico News-Letter. Alrededor de 1868 se convirtió en su editor. En 1872 se trasladó a Londres. Bajo el seudónimo de Dod Grile, escribió corrosivos artículos y relatos para las revistas Fun y Figaro, que posteriormente se publicaron en la recopilación titulada Telarañas de una calavera vacía (1874). Bierce regresó a San Francisco en 1877. Allí continuó colaborando con el Argonaut, fue editor del Wasp y escribió una columna para el Sunday Examiner, propiedad de William Randolph Hearst. En su estilo sobresale un ingenio y una fascinación por el horror y la muerte y su dominio del relato hizo que se le comparara en ocasiones con los escritores estadounidenses Edgar Allan Poe y Bret Harte. Entre 1899 y 1913 trabajó para Hearst en Washington, D.C., y se dedicó a revisar sus propias obras. En 1913 viajó a México donde participó en la Revolución Mexicana y nunca más se supo de él. Sus Obras completas se publicaron en 12 volúmenes (1909-1912) e incluyen el Diccionario del diablo , titulado originalmente Diccionario del cínico eMe Textos: Diccionario del diablo (fragmento) Archivo Midi epdlp

If these plates are adopted in the Royal Navy our warships will be invulnerable, and therefore invincible. Here, also, are reports of your Majesty's Ministers, attesting the value of the invention. I will part with my right in it for a million tumtums." After examining the papers, the King put them away and promised him an order on the Lord High Treasurer of the Extortion Department for a million tumtums. "And here," said the Ingenious Patriot, pulling another paper from another pocket, "are the working plans of a gun that I have invented, which will pierce that armour. Your Majesty's Royal Brother, the Emperor of Bang, is anxious to purchase it, but loyalty to your Majesty's throne and person constrains me to offer it first to your Majesty. The price is one million tumtums." Having received the promise of another check, he thrust his hand into still another pocket, remarking:
