Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from One Year Course in English and American Literature: An Introduction to the Chief Authors in English and American Literaturewith Reading Lists and References for Further Study This book is written for the purpose of providing for students in high schools and academies an introduction to the literature of their mother tongue. There are already a number of books on this subject: the present work will be found to differ from them in several respects. The method followed by most writers in preparing an elementary text-book on English literature is, apparently, to take a larger work and make a small one by simply reducing the scale. Fifty pages on Shakespeare are reduced to ten, and so on. When the minor writers are reached, they are condensed into a line or two, with the result that much of the book is a mere list of names and titles. These dry bones the teacher is left to animate as best he can. In this work there has been no attempt to include all the writers who have contributed to English literature. There are many authors who survive only for purposes of post-graduate study. George Gascoigne, John Skelton, Roger Ascham, Ambrose Phillips, are names of significance to the scholar tracing the evolution of literary forms, but not to the beginner, who needs a guide to what is best in the public library. Throughout this work, then, emphasis is placed upon books that still live. The nineteenth century in particular is treated fully; its writers may be no greater than those of the eighteenth, but they have more to say to us.
