Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of English Literature, Vol. 3: From the Fourteenth Century to the Death of Surrey The pathetic circumstances connected with the publication of the Second Volume of Ten Brink´s "History of English Literature" naturally cast a deeper shadow still over the last part of his work. The First Part of the Second Volume had at least passed through the press under his supervision and had received his latest corrections. This Second Part was, however, still in the author´s hands awaiting his final touches when he was suddenly struck down by death in the prime office on the 29th of January, 1892. Ten Brink´s death is a lamentable loss to students of English literature, for with the appearance of the First Volume of his "History" - as far back as 1877 - he was at once recognized by scholars to be one of the leading authorities in all that concerned the earliest period of English literature, and his subsequent treatment of Chaucer is admitted on all hands to stand well-nigh unrivalled. Dr. Alois Brandl, who succeeded Ten Brink in the Chair of English Philology in Strassburg, was appointed one of his literary executors, and entrusted with the MS. material left by the eminent Dutch scholar. Dr. Brandl devoted himself to his task with so much zeal and assiduity that before the close of the year (1892) the present volume was in the hands of his German readers.
