Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Literature Lowell said that the existence of literature is the final proof that man is civilized. Literature is the reflection chiefly of things within ourselves, things of the mind and of the will. Within the past few years mankind has been endur 'ing war, with all of its dreadful accompaniments, and has come to desire deeply new assurances that civilization has existed and still exists. An intimate study of the literature of America reveals that the spirit of civilization, which is the art of living together, has been strong in the thought and will of the men who have lived upon this continent from the beginning of its coloniza tion by Europeans until this day. Americans, in the main, have been distinctive among the peoples of the world for having fashioned their inner lives in accordance with the impulse to live as if all men were neighbors. This democratic 'spirit largely characterizes artistic production in our society, especially in the field of literature. Within recent years, as never before, events have taught the danger of the expression of pride. Yet it would be less than honorable if we were not proud to believe that this democratic spirit of American literature is the spirit upon which future civilization may best be based.

This book was released on 2016-12-04 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book Synopsis Modern American Prose Selections (Classic Reprint) by : Byron J. Rees
Download or read book Modern American Prose Selections (Classic Reprint) written by Byron J. Rees and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern American Prose Selections AS the reader, if he wishes, may discover without undue delay, the little volume of modern prose selections that he has before him is the result of no ambitious or pr'e tentions design. It is not a collection of the best things that have lately been known and thought in the American world; it is not an anthology in which all our best authors are represented by striking or celebrated pas sages. The editor planned nothing either so precious or so eclectic. His purpose rather was to bring together some twenty examples of typical contemporary prose, in which writers who know whereof they write discuss certain present-day themes in readable fashion. In choosing material he has sought to include nothing merely because of the name of the author, and he has demanded of each selection that it should be of such a character, both in subject and style, as to impress normal and wholesome Americans as well worth reading. The earlier selections President Roosevelt's noble eulogy upon Lincoln, Secretary Lane's two addresses on American tradition and heritage, and Governor Coolidge's address at Holy Cross remind the reader of the high significance of our national past and indicate the promise of a rightly apprehended future. There follow two articles Our Future Immigration Policy, by Com missioner Frederic C. Howe, and A New Relationship between Capital and Labor, by Mr. John D. Rockefeller.
