Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Literature: Second Series The First of these ´studies´ was originally read before an audience at the University College of Nottingham, inaugurating ac ´Byron Lectureship.´ All the others were delivered as lectures in the New Arts Schools at Cambridge. In the preface to a former volume I admitted that the word ´studies´ might well seem ill-descriptive ;and gave half a promise to justify the title better in this its successor. I am well aware that this half-promise is not kept in the following pages. It was given in the latter days of the War, when few of us felt able to hope that our then deserted Colleges would fill again in our time; when some of us prophesied an end for ourselves of sad retirement in the shade of libraries; when none of us, I will swear, anticipated what was to come upon us, as it were in a tidal wave - the amazing, portentous, refluence of youth into the Universities. It came; and it was such that we could scarcely have coped with it, even if prepared. I for one, at any rate, had to revert hastily to the old method of familiar discourse if the hungry generations were not to tread me down. I must offer my apologies to the reader for the result, but my thanks to Heaven for the cause. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
