Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of English Literature In no case is favour accorded to a period because it happens to be ancient, or to an author by reason of his conventional repute. The Diagrams at the head of each chapter or section are to be understood in the light of the General Plan on the sixth page, of which they are the expansion. With a partial exception in the case of the first, the Poetry in each age is placed to the left of the figure, the Prose to the right; and the treatment proceeds in a similarly uniform manner from Poetry to Prose, the order of historical sequence being preserved as nearly as possible. Where a connecting name in large capitals occurs in the centre of a diagram, the treatment of the authors follows the order of its letters.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline History of English Literature The purpose and plan of this little book may easily be gathered from the introductory chapter. Only a few words of preface, therefore, are needed. As I conceive it, a history of English literature, however brief, should still be a history of English literature in fact as well as in name and for a history something more is required than a list of authors and their books, and even than a chrono logically - arranged collection of biographical sketches and critical appreciations. It is true that a nation's literature is made up of the works of individual writers, and that for the ordinary purposes of study these writers may be detached from their surroundings and treated separately. But we cannot get a history of such literature unless and until each one has been put into his place in the sequence of things and considered with reference to that great body of literary production of which his work must now be regarded as a part. A history of English literature, then, must be interested primarily in English literature as a whole. Its chief aim should be to give a clear and systematic account, not of the achievements of successive great writers merely, as such, but of national changes and development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chronological Outlines of English Literature The need of tolerably full Annals of English Literature is frequently felt by lecturers and by private students. They Often require a colourless Outline within which details may be placed, and which may serve to bring into prominence the chronological relations Of the facts they deal with. NO work hitherto published can be said to occupy, with regard to our literary history, the same position which an ordinary date book does with regard to our political history. The present volume aims at supplying this want. It is divided into two parts. Part I. Brings the Annals of English Literature into connection with general European literature and with history, so that a glance enables us to see the position that a given work occupies in the line of development. We can thus Obtain a conspectus of the chief literary work that was being done at any given date, and trace the growth Of schools and movements. In fact it is hoped that Part I. Will perform in some degree the same kind of service for the student Of literary history as a map does for the student of geography. From the beginning of the sixteenth century each Opening presents six columns. The first gives the dates. The second contains the names Of the principal English works published in each year. While only first editions are as a rule mentioned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of English and American Literature It is necessary, first of all, without going into the nice ties of modern philological investigation, to place our mother-tongue in a general way. Three great ethnic and linguistic families must be recognized - the Semitic, the Indo - European, and the Allophylian (or Turanian.) The third of these is a mere aggregation of such races and languages as are neither Semitic nor indo-european. For a scientific classification of the languages formerly grouped as Allophylian, see Morris's Outlines of English Accidence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline History of English and American Literature: For Use in Colleges and Schools It has been ray object to compress into this book the minimum of what every young person should know of the literature of our own country and England, even if his education is strictly scientific. I believe that specializing in any one period is more likely to prove fruitful and of benefit to the student if preceded by a general review of the development of thought and expression in the English-speaking peoples. The book is intended as a text-book for a course of three hours a week for a school year of thirty-three weeks. As a rule I have aimed at keeping the biographical matter and the critical matter in separate paragraphs, in order that the teacher may use his discretion in requiring biographical matter to be memorized (for there must be a certain amount of drudgery insisted on in the study of literature) and critical matter merely to be read. I have, however, endeavored to keep in view the needs and limitations of a text-book, and have omitted many names that would find a place in a manual or pocket encyclopedia. American literature is treated on a fuller plan than is English literature, the object being to make one book and one course suffice for an introduction to both subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline Sketch of English Literature In so brief a history of so rich a literature, the problem is how to get room enough to give, not an adequate impression - that is impossible - but any impression at all of the subject. To do this I have crowded out every thing but belles lettres. Books in philosophy, history, science, etc., however important in the history of English thought, receive the merest incidental mention, or even no mention at all. Again, I have omitted the literature of the Anglo-Saxon period, which is written in a language nearly as hard for a modern Englishman to read as German is, or Dutch. Caedmon and Cynewulf are no more a part of English literature than Vergil and Horace are of Italian. I have also left out the vernacular literature of the Scotch before the time of Burns. Up to the date of the union Scotland was a separate kingdom, and its literature had a development independent of the English, though parallel with it. In dividing the history into periods, I have followed, with some modifications, the divisions made by Mr. Stopford Brooke in his excellent little Primer of English Literature. A short reading course is appended to each chapter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Outlines of Literature written by Truman J. Backus and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Outlines of Literature: English and American; Based Upon Shaw's Manual of English Literature The New History of English Literature, published in 1884, was a revision of Shaw's Manual of English Litera ture. The Manual had been used for ten years by students in American schools and colleges, and had gained far wider circulation than any other volume dealing with its theme. The New History, with its improved typography, its better arrangement, and its fresh material, displaced the earlier book and gained yet higher commendation. This volume, The Outlines of Literature, English and American, is more than a revision of the New History. Line by line the statements and opinions of that volume have been weighed and verified, much that seemed superfluous has been omitted, new chapters have been added, the book has been rewritten, and new allotments of space and im proved arrangements have been secured. The student of this book will have constant reminder of the inseparable relations of the history and the literature of a people, and will find the literatures of England and of America divided into periods corresponding to distinct periods of national history. The discussion of American authors in this volume seeks to awaken students to due appreciation of the literary achievements of our countrymen. Summaries of chapters and references for collateral readings much commended features of the New History - have been simplified and enlarged in this book; and extended lists Of authors not discussed in these pages are furnished for convenient reference, together with authentic dates and with the title of the chief work or the kind. Of work done by each author. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis An Outline of the Literature of the English Renaissance (Classic Reprint) by : Edwin Greenlaw
Download or read book An Outline of the Literature of the English Renaissance (Classic Reprint) written by Edwin Greenlaw and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of the Literature of the English Renaissance This book consists, in the main, of those pages from A Syllabus of English Literature, published in 1912, which deal with the literature of the English Renaissance. Such an outline, it is hoped, will prove a convenience to teachers and students in advanced courses who wish to deal with the special period and who do not need the larger work. In order to adapt the out line to the needs of such students a considerable additional bibliography has been prepared. This bibliography makes no pretensions to com pleteness; it consists of references to books and articles, not given in the original Syllabus, which a student dealing with the period will find of the greatest value. A few references to articles in scholarly journals have been included, sometimes because of their value as contributions to knowledge, at other times because they deal with topics not treated specifi cally elsewhere but necessary in a complete study of the field in which they lie. Obviously such references have been made sparingly, and many excellent essays have been omitted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Historical Outline of English Literature: From the Origins to the Close of the Eighteenth Century This brief outline of the history of English Literature is intended simply for class use. The bibliographical refer ence is made largely with the Mt. Holyoke College Library in mind, and with the hope that the shelf numbers may lighten the difficulties of looking for books when a student wishes to save all the time for reading. The aim has been not to multiply the numbers of authorities, historical and critical, and the number of authors proper, but to diminish them so far as the subject permitted, thus simplifying the work of the student. The Special Topics, too, have been limited. It has not been an easy task to do this, as subjects of interest in any period are countless, and to select wisely an impossibility. It is hoped, however, that both Bibliographical Reference, in which Miss Bertha E. Blakely has given invaluable assist ance, and Special Topics may prove not only helpful in an Historical Outline Course, but also an incentive to further work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of the History of the English Language If the sole function of language is the communication of thought it follows that every development of thought will produce also a development of language. What we require of language is, therefore, no small thing. We require of it that it shall give expression to every human activity, high and low, good and bad; that it shall render all human knowledge, human emotion, human faith and human ambitions; for the creative impulse in man will never rest until it has found its appropriate expression in words or deeds. We expect of language, therefore, that it shall give expression to every possible development of human thought, and the history of the literature in any particular language is the most convincing proof possible that language rises to the occasion and satisfies those demands.
