Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A New Primer of English Literature An ideal Primer of English Literature would possess many virtues. It would be sound in its facts, clear in its arrangement, simple in its expression, sparing and circumspect in its criticisms. Its merits would appear not only in what it said, but in what it left unsaid. It would not only omit inconsiderable names; it would omit names which, without deserving to be called inconsiderable, are at least hardly to be considered in a first survey. It would be extremely economical in the mention of dates. Its object would be simply to provide an intelligent bird´s-eye view of the whole stream of our literary history. Ideals are as difficult to realise in this domain as in any other, and we cannot hope to have fully achieved our own aims. Nevertheless, we trust that the present effort will find sufficient justification in the eyes of students and teaches, from whom we should welcome any suggestions for its improvement. The authors are jointly and equally responsible for the work throughout. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
