Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures on the Science of Literature: Partly Delivered in Edinburgh (Summer Meeting, 1898) First Series: Comparative Literature This "first series" of lectures on the science of literature was, for the greater part, written at Oxford, 1897 - 1898, and some of them were read at the University Extension Meeting in Edinburgh, in the summer of 1898. It is only a first series, for since then, having collected vast material from nearly all the existing sciences, and having already begun to work this out, I intend to publish a "second series" of these lectures later on. But the continuation of my work will bear a somewhat different character from the volume published here. This volume contains chiefly a sketch of the literature of mankind, divided according to languages and races, but it is far from perfect. An exhaustive study especially of the problem of race has taught me that our knowledge in this direction is very crude, and that anthropology and ethnology as sciences are only in their infancy, sciences rightly termed by thinkers mere collections of facts. As far as regards the race-problem, I wish the reader to bear in mind that my work has to be regarded more as a collection of useful material, than as the definitive and undeviating opinion of the author. I have often made it my aim to suggest the problem rather than to solve it, and I shall be grateful for any observations and additions from competent readers, in order, by continuous study, to prove whether the hypotheses found in my work may be fully applied to literature, considered as a science.
