Book excerpt: Excerpt from World Literature and Its Place in General Culture Adequate sense, hasyettobegin. Whenwespeak Of the study of philosophy, what we have in mind is not the reading Of Greek philosophic writers by persons inter sated ingreek studies, and the reading of German philo sophers by persons interested m German studies, and the like: apart from all this we recognize that there 18 the thing philosophy, with an independent interest and his tory Of its own, the whole being something quite difl'er ent from the sum Of the parts. In otherwords, we recog nize the unity Of philosophy. Similarly, we recognize the unity of history, the unity Of art even the separate languages Of the world have coalesced into a unity in the study Of philology. But when the question is Of litera ture, it would seem as if the humanities side Of the edu ostional edifice has been built in water-tight compart ments; what goes on in our schools and colleges is the study in one class room Of English literature in connec tion with English history and language, in other class rooms Greek or Latin or French literature in connection with Greek or Latin or French history and language. We look in vain for an independent study Of literature itself, and of literature as a whole. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from World Literature: And Its Place in General Culture This book presents a conception of World Literature, not in the sense of the sum total of particular literatures, but as a unity, the literary field seen in perspective from the point of view of the English-speaking peoples. Theoretical treatment is throughout supplemented by exposition of masterpieces. To the general reader the book suggests a rational scheme of connection such as should be at the back of every attempt to make choice of "the best books." For the student it illustrates a treatment of the subject unhampered by divisions between particular literatures in different languages, divisions which make the weakness of literary study in our academic systems. Its plea is that such World Literature belongs to every st of general culture, from the most elementary to the most advanced. My life has been entirely occupied with the study and the teaching of literature. I have sought in the present work to embody the main results of my experience, so far as these bear upon the field of literature and the general interest of the subject. I purpose, at no distant date, to follow up this work with another, which will be a more formal introduction to literary theory and interpretation.

Book Synopsis Literature in the Making by : Nancy Glazener
Download or read book Literature in the Making written by Nancy Glazener and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteenth century, literature meant learned writings; by the twentieth century, literature had come to be identified with imaginative, aesthetically significant works, and academic literary studies had developed special protocols for interpreting and valuing literary texts. Literature in the Making examines what happened in between: how literature came to be more precisely specified and valued; how it was organized into genres, canons, and national traditions; and how it became the basis for departments of modern languages and literatures in research universities. Modern literature, the version of literature familiar today, was an international invention, but it was forged when literary cultures, traditions, and publishing industries were mainly organized nationally. Literature in the Making examines modern literature's coalescence and institutionalization in the United States, considered as an instructive instance of a phenomenon that was going global. Since modern literature initially offered a way to formulate the value of legacy texts by authors such as Homer, Cervantes, and Shakespeare, however, the development of literature and literary culture in the U.S. was fundamentally transnational. Literature in the Making argues that Shakespeare studies, one of the richest tracts of nineteenth-century U.S. literary culture, was a key domain in which literature came to be valued both for fuelling modern projects and for safeguarding values and practices that modernity put at risk-a foundational paradox that continues to shape literary studies and literary culture. Bringing together the histories of literature's competing conceptualizations, its print infrastructure, its changing status in higher education, and its life in public culture during the long nineteenth century, Literature in the Making offers a robust account of how and why literature mattered then and matters now. By highlighting the lively collaboration between academics and non-academics that prevailed before the ascendancy of the research university starkly divided experts from amateurs, Literature in the Making also opens new possibilities for envisioning how academics might partner with the reading public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Worth of Ancient Literature to the Modern World Two other arguments have weighed with persons more re ec tive than those whose-mental attitude I have been describing; and their force must be admitted. Languages - not merely the ancient languages, but languages in general - have too often been badly taught, and the learning of them has therefore been found repulsive by many pupils. The results have accordingly been disappointing, and out of proportion to the time and labour spent. Comparatively few of those who have given from six to eight years of their boyhood mainly to the study of Greek and Latin retain a knowledge of either language sufficient to afford either use or pleasure to them through the rest of life. Of the Whole number of those who yearly graduate at Oxford or at Cambridge, I doubt if at thirty years of age 15 per cent. Could read at sight an easy piece of Latin, or 5 per cent. An easy piece of Greek. As this seems an obvious sort of test of the effect of the teaching, people come to the conclusion that the time spent on Greek and Latin was wasted.

Book Synopsis Between(s) and Beyond(s) in Contemporary Albanian Literature by : Bavjola Shatro
Download or read book Between(s) and Beyond(s) in Contemporary Albanian Literature written by Bavjola Shatro and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on contemporary Albanian poetry, given the important role it has continuously played in Albanian literature as a whole. It analyses particular literary periods and their representative poets from a comparative perspective. It raises meaningful questions that point to particularly interesting features of Albanian literature that call for in-depth study, taking into account research conducted in this field over the years by both Albanian and foreign scholars. However, this book’s focus on comparative literature and the perspectives that this academic practice offers for so-called small, marginal literatures in the realm of European literatures allows for a different and unique analysis. It provides both an introduction and a well-structured approach to contemporary Albanian literature and to some of the problems that it faces in today’s global context when national literatures, and especially those from the margins, have to reconsider their role and position in world literature. As such, the book will be of interest to scholars in the fields of comparative literature, East and South-Eastern European literature, Albanian literature, Balkan studies, poetry studies, and cultural studies, among others.
