Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Great Writers: Or, Popular Chapters on Some Leading Authors The multitude of different texts to be found in the acts and thoughts of our Literary Men is so great, that the commentary never needs to be a repetition of what was formerly written. And were it otherwise, this little book seeks to occupy a vacant place, by acting as an interpreter between higher authors and the ordinary reader, who is sometimes repelled by the dryness of literary history, as found in compendiums, and even in essays written in a learned or technical style. The aim of the Author of this Work has been, by avoiding unnecessary detail, difficult language, or involved phraseology, to interest English readers in the lives and thoughts of some of our greatest Writers, who are indeed familiar names, but often nothing more. Those who have not received a collegiate education sometimes take it for granted that the great classics of our tongue arc too high and difficult for them. This book aims at making such persons feel that those Great Writers might all have one motto describing themselves and their works - ´I am a man, and everything human interests me.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
