Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Literature Literature is older than any of the sciences, as it is the foremost of all the arts. It is the expression in words of whatever man has done or felt or thought at any time since his inarticulate cries and incoherent stammerings were transmuted into language. Nor are we concerned alone with the written records, however formidable the mass of these may be. Recall the seemingly exhaustless temple-libraries of Assyria and Babylonia. Think of all that has been scratched on bricks and tiles, or graven upon cliffs, or painted upon tombs. Remember the epigraphical and paleographical remains of Greece and Rome and of the Middle Ages, the multitudinous papyri, the mountains of parchment, the smeared palimpsests, the wooden tablets, the inscribed potsherds, vases, what you please - writing, in fact, whether upon skins or clay or stone or bronze or lead. And think, as well, of the uncounted millions of printed pages that now convey the thoughts of men to men. When, in mind, we have marshalled all of this material, we shall then have noted only a part, and that the smaller part, of what we must in some way reckon with when we speak of literature. For there is the literature which came into existence long before the art of writing, - literature which was transmitted orally from age to age or was forgotten almost in the making.
