Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A First Book of English Literature This little book is not a mere abridgment of any History or Histories of the subject which the author has already written. He has endeavoured to utilise in it, not merely the experience thus gained, and the reading of more than half a century, but also the knowledge, of what is likely to be required by its possible users, furnished by practice long ago as a schoolmaster both in England and in Scotland, and more recently as a Professor of the matter and an Examiner in many different Universities. No information that the book gives is intended to supersede, and all information that it gives is intended to encourage and lead up to, the reading of the literature itself. For an Introduction of this sort, rhetorical praises of that literature, generally or as concerns individuals, elaborate discussions of disputed points, attempts to make an interesting "story," and other things of the kind (even perhaps those efforts to introduce politics, social matters, etc., which have recently been so popular), are not really so important as the drawing in outlines, as clear and strong as possible, of the actual progress and development of the actual literature as such.
