Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Literature During the Last Half Century The writer of this volume is not unconscious of the difficulties involved in systematic study of the authors of our own time and of the generation immediately preceding ours; but as he has encouraged young people who are preparing themselves for the writer´s task to make themselves acquainted with the works of the nearer, as well as of the more remote past, it seems reasonable that he should afford them what help he can. His intention is to provide guidance for firsthand study - assistance in reading the authors themselves, not a substitute for it - and if the reader´s own judgment does not fall in with the criticisms here offered, it is hoped that no harm will be done, and no offence taken on either side. The best teaching is that which stimulates and encourages the student to think for himself. The bibliographies aim not at minute completeness, but at the giving of information likely to be useful. Cordial thanks are offered to Professor J. B. Fletcher and Mr. Leland Hall for the chapters on ´Samuel Butler,´ and ´Joseph Conrad´ and to the publisher of the University Edition of the Warner Library to reprint (with some additions and revisions) these essays, which originally appeared in that series. It is hard to say whether the making of this book was facilitated or hindered by the writer´s appointment as Director of the London Branch of the American University Union in 1918.
