Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Book of Victorian Poetry and Prose A Book of Victorian Poetry and Prose has been compiled in order, in the first place, to illustrate the criticisms offered upon this period in the Outlines of Victorian Literature, and, in the second place, to entice readers who are not familiar with modern English literature to make themselves better acquainted with its treasures. The extracts are therefore such as have been deemed best fitted to serve these ends, and not necessarily those which are best in themselves. In the case of the systematic thinkers, especially, many of the greatest passages are beyond the grasp of an untrained mind. To the novelists less space has been given than might seem their due, because the story is the form of literature least likely to be neglected. On the other hand certain minor writers have, so far as space would allow, been liberally treated; for, while it is easy to gain acquaintance with the great writers, the minor ones are in many cases less easily accessible. This volume could never have been compiled without the generous assistance of the owners of the copyright of the books from which the extracts are taken.
