Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Literature Some distinguished American scholars have objected to the name "American Literature" as meaningless and misleading. There would indeed seem to be greater propriety in the title "English Literature in America," which defines the origin and relation of our literature, and which has great merit, too, in that it suggests the kindred blood that unites two great nations, and that makes the inhabitants of each common possessors of a common inheritance. I have, however, thought it best not to interfere with a name that has been honored by generations of use, and which now receives prompt and generous recognition from the scholars of Europe. There has been happily awakened in very recent years a great and growing interest in American affairs, and particularly in the history and significance of American writings. Many excellent works have contributed to the complete understanding of this literature. Professor Scherr in Germany, Professor Nichol in England, and Professors Tyler and Richardson in America have published skilful and laborious studies of our literary development, which are indispensable to the scholar and invaluable for the reference library, but which are too critical and exhaustive for school use. In the present work I have tried to make a book from which teachers can teach, and from which students cannot "cram." Its purpose is to exhibit the process of American literature as an evolution.
