Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Hand-Book of English Literature: Intended for the Use of High Schools, as Well as a Companion and Guide for Private Students, and for General Readers When the first volume of the Hand-book of English Literature was published, some fifteen months ago, it was announced that a second volume, devoted to American authors, was nearly ready. But though the materials had been collected, the editor soon found it desirable to go over the ground again more thoroughly, and to consult original editions in all cases where it was practicable. The labor and perplexity involved in making the selections, and in furnishing biographical and critical notices, will hardly be over-estimated. Much of the labor led to no visible results; as, when a month´s diligent reading sometimes failed to discover more than one or two authors that should be represented in the collection. The rule of selection adopted, though clear as a general principle, is one that admits of some latitude in application, and has frequently led to results that were regretted by the editor. Writers of acknowledged genius are never very numerous, and it would be easy to make a small collection that would be considered judicious and fair.
