Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Literature of the French Renaissance: An Introductory Essay Histories of literature are apt to be confined to biography and criticism. The writers of them concern themselves, not so much with the broad main stream of a nation s literary developement, as with the rivers, sometimes indeed with the tiniest rivulets, which feed it. Thus they produce works, which however interesting and instructive they may be, are hardly entitled to be called histories. For a history, I take it, should have at any rate two features. It should be a continuous story, and it should deal with causes and effects. Into the vexed question of what is the province of History par excellence, whether it should confine itself to an account of the organisation of states, or whether it should more fully deserve its preeminence by dealing with the whole life of a nation, I need not happily enter.
