Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Manual of English Literature: And of the History of the English Language, From With Numerous Specimens In preparing a new Edition of this work for the press, the Publishers deemed that its usefulness might be increased by an additional chapter, dealing more fully with the Prose Literature of the earlier part of the century, and with the different phases of our Literature from the beginning of the Victorian age. In former editions these were very shortly summarized. While no change has been made in the other parts of the book, the sections following p. 511 are, therefore, either altogether new, or have been so much re-cast that only a few sentences of the former summary are retained. The difficulties in the way of reducing any sketch of Contemporary Literature to the proportions of a Manual are sufficiently obvious. It is in regard to this literature that the individual taste of each reader tells most powerfully on his judgment: and yet any decided expression of opinion on questions which are still matters of controversy must necessarily be out of place. It has been thought that the purpose of the book would best be served by rigidly avoiding disputed points of criticism, and dwelling only upon those features of recent literature, the impression of which is most distinct, and may, with some confidence, be expected to be most permanent. The Series of Test-Questions, appended at the request of the Publishers, will, it is hoped, prove of service to Students, especially to such as are studying alone.
