Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Introduction to American Literature "Democracy is still on trial. It must justify itself or die. Lowell states one of the standards thus: ´Democracy must show its capacity for producing, not a higher average man, but the highest possible types of manhood in all its manifold varieties, or it is a failure.´ ... That this highest type of manhood may be attained in our country, under the existing opportunities of self-development, has been frequently claimed, and if this life be possible, then the expression of it should be also. The highest possible type of literature should succeed the highest possible type of manhood. ... This national literature must be the development, consciously or unconsciously, of all the best literary powers of the best American people. Such a national literature is indispensable to the union of these States - not that union based upon the consent of the governed, and bound by political regulations of their making but the essential union of common sentiments´ and ideals secured by a common pride in intellectual achievement, and a partnership in patriotism." - Professor Charles F. Kent´s Inaugural Address on Literature and life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
