Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Literary Culture in Early New England, 1620-1730 Thomas Goddard Wright, the author of this book, was born at Fort Ann, New York, the seventeenth of August, 1885. He was the son of the Reverend William Russell Wright and Alma (Boardman) Wright. He was graduated from the Hartford Public High School in 1903, and then entered Yale University, where he received the degree of B.A. in 1907, M.A. in 1908, and Doctor of Philosophy in 1917. On the seventh of June, 1913, he was married to Mabel Hyde Kingsbury, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Edward N. Kingsbury, of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. From the year 1908 he had served first as Assistant, and later as Instructor in English in the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University. This book is in his favourite field of study, and is in part representative of his special research therein covering a period of five or six years. While primarily intended for the use of scholars in history and literature, it is by no means without interest for the general reader. In the death of Dr. Wright, Yale University suffers a severe loss from the ranks of its scholars and teachers. He was intensely beloved both by his colleagues and by his pupils. His character and personality had an extraordinary charm; he was modest, generous, unselfish, faithful and pure in heart. I never knew a man more free from the meaner vices of self-interest and self-importance. The advancement of his rivals pleased him more than his own achievements. No one could know him without feeling a sense of elevation. His high-minded and unassuming devotion to his work was an example to us all, and his influence will be permanently fruitful.
