Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pageant of English Literature The Pageant, as revived in our time, may move the historian to mirth or wrath, according to his temperament; but such a popular display, however crude in conception, however garish in presentation, may be conceded this saving grace, that it affords an opportunity of arousing a widespread interest in the great deeds and great personages of the past, and of stimulating a desire to become better acquainted with them. The unambitious aim of this book is thus exactly expressed. The author has endeavoured to compose a series of pen-pictures revealing, he would fain hope, the great masters of our Literature as living, breathing human beings arrayed in the appropriate trappings of their time and circumstance. He sets them forth in what he conceives to be their best and most characteristic aspects, and he dwells upon all that is admirable in them and in their achievements. With such skill as he may command, he directs the attention of "the young and gracious of every age" to "the precious life-blood of master-spirits embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life," and his simple purpose, like that of Goldsmith´s Village Pastor, is to "allure to brighter worlds and lead the way."
