Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Literature The purpose of this textbook is to serve as a guide through the vast field of English literature, pointing out those works that should be known and those that may be neglected. It is comprehensive, yet discriminating, aiming to give a true perspective of values. The great authors are treated with unusual liberality of space, but the minor authors, whose contributions are sometimes of vital interest and worth, are not dismissed with a mere catalogue mention of names. An effort has been made to give completeness and logical coherence to the story of English literature, traced from its remote beginnings to the present day; for it is the student´s right, and should be his privilege, to know the whole story. At least one full year is usually given, in courses of study, to the history of English literature. The suggested program of class work can be essentially accomplished within that time, if the daily work of the classroom is properly supplemented by outside reading. The student´s reading in biography and criticism should be carefully guided by the instructor. The books named in the working programs will be found in public libraries, but the most important ones should be near at hand, as the necessary apparatus of the classroom. The topics for discussion and research are intended to serve, not merely as review questions on the matter of the textbook - such questions as the instructor would naturally frame for himself - but as a means of enlarging the text and developing habits of independent study and investigation.
