The beginning - AS soon as the English colonists landed on American shores, at Jamestown and Plymouth, they began to think Of the estab lishment Of Schools Of sound learning: in Virginia for the purpose Of educating the Indians, and' in Massachusetts Bay for the supply of church pas tors. By 1619 the proposed Virginia University possessed, as gifts from English donors, fifteen thousand acres Of land and fifteen hundred pounds in money; and its early establishment at Henrico, on the James River, was prevented only by a gen eral Indian massacre on March 22, 1622, when three hundred and forty persons, 'including the superintendent Of the university, lost; their lives. Nothing further was done toward establishing a Virginia college until 1666, and the College Of William and Mary, the outcome of the original2 A primer OF american litera ture.

Download or read book A Primer of English Literature (Classic Reprint) written by Abby Willis Howes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primer of English Literature This book aims at being what its title indicates -a primer, a first book. It strives to tell simply and clearly a few things, and to bring prominently before the reader only the greatest literary names. The author has found that young readers get very little from a book which presupposes wide knowledge on their part, or which deals with elabo rate literary criticism. Much reading is done in the schools, however, and it is necessary to give pupils some chronological idea of the growth of literature and the place of authors. It is the pur pose of this book to supply that chronology in form somewhat fuller than an outline, and yet less bulky than the regular histories. While it gives no new point of view or illuminating criticisms, it hopes to meet the need of all classes of students who wish to acquire in a straightforward way the gen erally accepted facts of English literary history.

Download or read book American Literature (Classic Reprint) written by Alphonso G. Newcomer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Literature In the matter of critical estimates the writer of a text-book finds himself in a position of uncomfortable responsibility. Immature students, unused to judgment, and unable to test the opinions delivered to them, often take those opinions with out question, like so much gospel. At first thought, the only safe course would seem to lie in rigidly following current esti mates. But it should be possible to preserve independence of judgment without giving way to personal vagary, and at the worst a little heresy may serve to stimulate the student's crit ical faculty. After all, only time can determine where the heresy lies. Current criticism, for instance, tends perceptibly to depreciate our native literature. Possibly one who, like the writer of this book, has an honest admiration for our less academic writers, and ventures to set himself against this attitude, may find himself justified in the end.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to American Literature The plan and purpose of this book can be stated in a few words. It is intended as a companion-book to my Introduction to English Literature, and it has been prepared - so far as the nature of the subject permitted - according to the same general scheme. The first thing required of a book of this character is that it shall really bring the reader into vital rela tion with the best works in the literature of which it treats, - that it shall induce him to read or re-read them with both delight and understanding. I have tried to do this by treating our greater authors at comparative length; by making their personality as real and living as I could; by adding some critical discussion of. Their chief works; and by furnishing study lists containing suggestions for reading and bibliographical references.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of American Literature The following chapters describe the greatest achieve ments in American literature from the earliest times until the present. Many pupils fail to obtain a clear idea of great American authors and literary movements because textbook writers and teachers ignore the element of truth in the old adage, The half is greater than the whole, and dwell too much on minor authors and details, which could reasonably be expected to interest only a specialist. In the following pages especial attention has been paid, not only to the individual work of great authors, but also to literary movements, ideals, and animating principles, and to the relation of all these to English literature.

Book Synopsis A First View of English and American Literature (Classic Reprint) by : William Vaughn Moody
Download or read book A First View of English and American Literature (Classic Reprint) written by William Vaughn Moody and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First View of English and American Literature This volume is based upon the authors' more advanced H istory of English Literature. The aim has been to pre serve those features of the previous book Which have most commended themselves to high-school and academy teach ers, to remove everything Which they have found too de tailed or too difiicult for their students, and to add Whatever was suggested by their friendly criticism as likely to in crease the value of the book in class-room practice. The literary comment has been simplified, partly by omission, partly by the substitution of explicit statement in the place of What was before only suggested. The number of authors treated has been much reduced, and the attention of the student centred exclusively on a few great representative figures. More space has been given to biography and de scriptive sketches, especially in the later periods. Each main epoch has been prefaced by a full historical introduction, and summarized in the form of a review-commentary and questions, together with tabular views. Suggestions con cerning the best available texts, and the best biographical and critical aids to study, are given at the close of each chapter. A number of portraits are added, taken in each case from an authentic source. For purposes of fuller refer ence, some authors not treated in the text are included in the tabular views.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Digest of English and American Literature Literature, in the highest sense, is the artistic expres sion of such thoughts and feelings as speak to our com mon human nature, in every country and in every age. It deals not so much with what we know (facts or knowl edge) as with what we can do, what we can suffer, what we are, and what we may become. That is more eminently literature which gives power; and that is most worthy which, directly or indirectly, gives most power for good.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of American Literature The general purpose in the preparation of this book has, been to eliminate negligible detail and to subordinate or omit authors of minor importance in order to stress the men and the movements that are most significant in American intel lectual history/ The book has therefore been written with a view to showing the drift of American thought as illustrated by major writers or groups and as revealed by a careful study of one or two cardinal works by each. In this sequence of thought the growth of American self-consciousness and the changing ideals of American patriotism have been kept in mind throughout. The attempt is made to induce study of representative classics and extensive reading of the American literature which illuminates the past of the country chiefly, of course, in reminiscent fiction, drama, and poetry.

Download or read book A Brief History of American Literature (Classic Reprint) written by William P. Trent and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of American Literature In this book, which is designed for the use of schools, I - have endeavoured to furnish a condensed account of the development of American literature, rather than a series of connected essays on leading American authors. At the same time I have tried to mention no writer or book devoid of a fair amount of significance, and I have also had it in mind to treat the more important authors on a scale sufficiently extended to suit the needs of the average class. I have aimed to minimize tentative criticism and to give only such details of historical setting as could not well be spared. I have condensed the bibliographical information to dimensions more or less proportionate with the resources of school libraries and have divided it into sections according to chapters. The period from 1866 to the present day has been sketched in a chapter, fuller treatment of writers, many of whom are still living, not seeming advisable in view of the difficulty of maintaining an impartial attitude toward contemporaries. An appendix gives important dates, which may be used in lieu of those scattered through the text. Topics for essays and class reports will be often suggested by the paragraph headings, and teachers may sometimes find it advantageous, when time permits, to have reports made on writers and books mentioned in the Appendix but not in the text, as well as on topics treated more fully in my larger book, "A History of American Literature, 1607-1865" (1903, Appleton).

This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of American Literature Throughout the book the literature has been pre sented in its relation to general conditions in America and to the literatures of England and the Continent of Europe, for only so can it be completely understood and its full significance perceived 3 but the personality of the authors and the intrinsic qualities of their work have, it is hoped, received due attention. The division into periods is not meant to be insisted upon too strongly. But some dividing lines must be run for convenience and clearness in treating of so wide and diversified a field, and those adopted are perhaps liable to fewer objections than any others. They have, however, been transgressed freely where it was necessary to do so in order to avoid splitting the discussion of an author's work. In the case of writers with whom the reader is probably not familiar and never need be, the method is chie y descriptive 3 elsewhere the book is intended to be merely a guide in reading and studying the literature itself.
