Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Outlines of English and American Literature Before taking up the study of the masterpieces of English Literature, the student should have some knowledge of the history of that literature. This little manual is intended as a guide to the acquisition of that knowledge. In compiling it the author has endeavored to trace the organic development of the literature that has found expression in our mother tongue, emphasize its salient features and most prominent authors, and refer the student to such sources of information as are likely to aid one in giving to the skeleton here presented substance and vitality. Of the names included in such a thesaurus as Chambers´s "Cyclopædia of English Literature," the author has recognized only those concerning which a student whose vernacular is English should be ashamed to be ignorant. The authorities to which reference is made are, also, comparatively few; but such as the author considers especially trustworthy and helpful. The very meagreness of the book has given it, as privately printed, considerable currency both for class-room use and as a book of reference. In the hope that it may prove more generally useful, it has been carefully revised, and is now given to the public. It has been the author´s custom to make these outlines the basis of class-room talks, somewhat after the University Extension method. It is believed, however, that at they will be found useful where preference is given to the laboratory method of literary study.
