Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of English Literature In revising A History of English Literature I have kept constantly in mind the leading idea which the authors had before them in the original preparation of the book, and which is implied in the original preface. It is that the teaching of literature, whether by handbooks or lectures, must have as its first object to stimulate the pupil to come into immediate contact with that literature itself. I have always felt that William Vaughn Moody, as teacher and critic, realized this aim with extraordinary success. Accordingly I have tried to preserve the spirit which he gave the book in this respect, and have left unchanged, so far as possible, the passages which he wrote with this end in view - to inspire his reader, not to accept any critical view, orthodox or original, of an author, but to taste and see for himself. At the same time I have increased somewhat the purely historical matter of the book, and tried to suggest more definitely the interpretation of large periods and movements. Much more might be done in this direction, particularly in treating foreign influences. I have, however, sought not to exceed the possible limits of firsthand study on the part of the reader. In this revision I have drawn, without the slightest reserve, on the learning of my colleagues of the English Department of the University of Chicago. To Professor Thomas A. Knott I am particularly indebted for a careful reworking of the first three chapters, and to Professor John M. Manly for the same service in the pages on the origin of the drama.
