Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Manual of English Literature: Designed for the Use of Schools of Advanced Grades If the matter of the present work shall fail to apologize satisfactorily for its appearance in the already numerous family of manuals of English literature, it is still hoped that the manner in which such matter is presented - the arrangement of the work - will commend it as something unlike and possibly superior to its sister manuals as a normal guide to the student. The author believes that the study of any literature properly begins with the writings of its living authors, and proceeds from these to those of modern, and from modern to those of early authors, the earliest coming last. And he rests his belief in this matter on the indisputable fact that the literature most readily comprehensible to any student is that of his own country and his own age; for the literary atmosphere - the peculiar idioms, the natural surroundings, the moral, æsthetical, social, and political ideas and sentiments - breathed by living, native authors is the same that is breathed by himself. An American student, therefore, should commence his study of literature with the writings of living American authors. This done, the student´s next step evidently is to take up the writings of living English authors, and from them, as from its mouth, to ascend the successive levels of the great stream of English literature to its fountain head. To facilitate this accomplishment is the purpose of the present manual. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
