Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ancient and Modern, Vol. 31 These matters are, first of all, the various national literatures found in the whole of human history. To serve as a general guide to these, conspectuses of all the literatures have been prepared, on the plan of a chronological catalogue of the authors in each national literature, and a concise critical characterization of each author, sufficient to make the conspectus of any literature an outline history of that literature. Both the chronology and the characteristics of literatures are thus given, with proper indexical references to the library, for any study or reading desired. In the same direction of guidance over the vast field of the literatures of the world, an Outline Survey has been added, on the plan of noting, first, parts of the world and nations of culture to which books introduce us, and, second, the cities of note in history as centres of culture. The concise sketches of this Survey constitute a complete Outline History of Culture in all ages and all lands - a framework and background for the Library story of authors and of books; and the references to the Library given under each sketch show what each nation or city has signified in the history of culture. The Outline Survey thus presented is continued and completed by a very extended Analytic Review of the chief forms and manifestations of literature, of the great topics of literature, and of the immense variety of examples of literature which are given in the Library. The chief products of intellectual exertion in literature, such as poems, novels, dramas, histories, etc., etc., are classified, with full bodies of references for each class, showing its representation in the Library. In the same way the chief matters found in literature to have engaged human interest, such as agriculture, education, children, religion, journalism, science, humor, music, woman, etc., etc., are classified with a full body of references for each class, showing how to pursue study of any class through the whole Library. Each of these bodies of references is an outline history of the theme covered by it, and even as an outline marvelously rich in interest.
