Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of French Literature French prose and French poetry had interested me during so many years that when Mr. Grose invited me to write this books I knew that I was qualified in one particular - the love of my subject. Qualified in knowledge I was not, and could not be. No one can pretend to know the whole of a vast literature. He may have opened many books and turned many ages; he cannot have penetrated to the soul of all books from the Song of Roland to Toute la Lyre. Without reaching its spirit, to read a book is little more than to amuse the eye with printed type. An adequate history of a great literature can be written only by collaboration. Professor Petit de Julleville, in the excellent Historie de la Langue et de la Littérature Française, at present in process of publication, has his well-instructed specialist for each chapter. In this small volume I too, while constantly exercising my own judgment, have had my collaborators - the ablest and most learned students of French literature - who have written each a part of my book, while somehow it seems that I have written the whole. My collaborators are on my shelves. Without them I could not have accomplished my task; here I give them credit for the assistance.
