Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Handbook of English Literature It promises well for education that largely increased attention has been given of late years to the Language and Literature of England. The study may be made a most valuable discipline, and it will yield results rich in thought, in taste, and in practical usefulness. It is partly a cause of this increased study, and partly a fruit of it, that English literature now occupies an important place in the examinations of the Civil Service and in the University of London; and that professorships of English have been founded in so many of our colleges and universities. To meet the demand which this increased study creates, the following pages have been written. They are meant as a photograph of our literature, with sufficient minuteness of detail to supply the curious inquirer with facts that may serve his purpose or guide him to further inquiry, and with such fulness and breadth of treatment of the more important eras and writers - the great centres of literary influence - as shall secure a vivid and just conception of the whole. In two particulars this volume is peculiar. It is arranged on the plan of giving a complete history of each subject: Anglo Saxon Literature, Anglo-Norman Literature, as it has been called, Language, Poets, Dramatists, Prose-writers, and Novelists. And yet the whole may be read in centuries, reigns, or literary periods, at the option of the student. Practically, English literature extends over five hundred years, from Edward III. and Chaucer to Victoria and Tennyson; or including Anglo-Norman and Anglo-Saxon - the English of the second and of the first period - over a thousand years. For the Language, the writers of the whole period deserve to be studied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
