Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Synopsis of English and American Literature Although this summary of our literature is especially intended for the use and convenience of teachers and students, it is believed to be not without value for the general reader. In its preparation the effort has been to condense much information within narrow limits. The majority of persons have neither opportunity nor inclination to read formidable works on science or literature, and yet desire that general knowledge which an epitome like this aims to give. In any chosen case there will be found herein. (1) the author´s full name, (2) the dates of birth and death, (b) the class of writers to which he belongs, (4) the chronological place of that class in the development of the literature, (5) the best known works of the author, (6) his contemporaries at home and abroad, and (7) leading events in the general history of his time. In most cases, also, a few words of explanation or criticism are given, and the general characteristics of the various periods arc briefly stated throughout the work. The chronological arrangement has not been strictly followed, the grouping of the writers according to the fields in which they have labored being thought preferable. An author´s relative importance is indicated by the style of type employed. This ranking is of course largely suggestive. Authorities must always differ widely in this respect, since an opinion of an author depends upon the degree of acquaintance with him, upon individual tastes, upon various personal and accidental circumstances. A ready means of viewing the ranking adopted in this summary is afforded by the recapitulation given on p. 112. Attention is called to the list of books recommended for general reading.
