Download or read book History of English Literature Vol 3 written by Bernhard Ten Brink and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of English Literature, Vol. 3: From the Fourteenth Century to the Death of Surrey It has been found more convenient to issue the translation of the two Parts as Volume II. And Volume III. Dr. Brandl tells us that up to the end of Chapter IV. Of Book VI. He found all practically ready for the press, the pages numbered and evidently finally revised by the author. The remainder of the ms, although carefully arranged, was unpaged, yet with out gaps, beyond two blank leaves which Dr. Brandl has filled in to the best of his ability (this passage occurs in our volume on p. 21 I, 1. II, to the end of the chapter). Of the Appendix, which had been referred to by the author as far back as 1889, only a few pages were to be found, and although some of the promised notes are wanting, we have others which had not been looked for. This is a further proof of the method Ten Brink is said to have adopted in work, viz. Of taking up his subjects as the spirit moved him, and this may possibly also account for the omission in this volume of some writers whom Ten Brink may have intended to deal with in their turn before finally arranging his material for publication. His History remains unfinished, in any case, and this is the more to be regretted as the next volume would have presented the more serious discussion of the Elizabethan era, a subject which he had already made a part of his University lectures, and by which he had attracted students from all parts of the world. Ten Brink's last words in this volume, on the untimely death of the Earl of Surrey, Dr. Brandl very appropriately quotes in connection with Ten Brink's own sad fate: Great things he might still have accomplished, but what he did accomplish has not been lost to posterity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of English Literature, Vol. 1 of 2 Among the last acts of his life were his reading of my ms., and his instructions to his colleague about some alterations or kindly suggestions for the improvement of my text. But almost all the changes my version experienced were practically made by his own hand. In this paternal oversight I have cause for self-congratulation, for not every translator is so fortunate. I also received Professor Ten Brink's authority to make enlargements, extra foot-notes, a new arrangement of the paragraphs, or whatever else I might consider helpful in bring ing the work more closely home to his English and American readers, on whose appreciation he set great value. But I have naturally refrained from making much use of such flattering confidence; any changes or additions are duly noted where they occur. Besides the author's critical revision of my text, many of the proof sheets have been read by experienced students of English Literature, which has frequently resulted in a greater clearness of diction.

Download or read book A History of English Literature Classic Reprint written by William Vaughn Moody and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Literature In revising A History of English Literature I have kept constantly in mind the leading idea which the authors had before them in the original preparation of the book, and which is implied in the original preface. It is that the teaching of literature, whether by handbooks or lectures, must have as its first object to stimulate the pupil to come into immediate contact with that literature itself. I have always felt that William Vaughn Moody, as teacher and critic, realized this aim with extraordinary success. Accordingly I have tried to preserve the spirit which he gave the book in this respect, and have left unchanged, so far as possible, the passages which he wrote with this end in view - to inspire his reader, not to accept any critical view, orthodox or original, of an author, but to taste and see for himself. At the same time I have increased somewhat the purely historical matter of the book, and tried to suggest more definitely the interpretation of large periods and movements. Much more might be done in this direction, particularly in treating foreign influences. I have, however, sought not to exceed the possible limits of firsthand study on the part of the reader. In this revision I have drawn, without the slightest reserve, on the learning of my colleagues of the English Department of the University of Chicago. To Professor Thomas A. Knott I am particularly indebted for a careful reworking of the first three chapters, and to Professor John M. Manly for the same service in the pages on the origin of the drama.

Download or read book Chautauqua Library of English History and Literature Vol 3 written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chautauqua Library of English History and Literature, Vol. 3: The Wars of the Roses For the period of English history treated in this volume we are fortunate in possessing an unrivaled interpreter in our great dramatic poet, Shakespeare. A regular sequence of historical plays exhibit to us not only the general character of each successive reign, but nearly the whole chain of leading events, from the days of Richard II. to the death of Richard III. at Bosworth. Following the guidance of such a master mind, we realize for ourselves the men and actions of the period in a way we cannot do in any other epoch. And this is the more important, as the age itself, especially toward the close, is one of the most obscure in English history. During the period of the Wars of the Roses, we have, comparatively speaking, very few contemporary narratives of what took place, and any thing like a general history of the times was not written till a much later date. But the doings of that stormy age - the sad calamities endured by kings - the sudden changes of fortune in great men - the glitter of chivalry and the horrors of civil war - all left a deep impression upon the mind of the nation, which was kept alive by vivid traditions of the past at the time that our great dramatist wrote. Hence, notwithstanding the scantiness of records and the meagerness of ancient chronicles, we have singularly little difficulty in understanding the spirit and character of the times. - Gairdner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School History of English Literature, Vol. 1: Chaucer to Marlowe T is a wise thing, before we plunge Into any new study, to try and give ourselves some account of what it is that we mean by it, and what it is that we expect from it. And therefore an historical sketch of English literature opens rightly with a consideration of the nature and the value of literature in general. What can books do for us? And in what spirit ought we to read them P - those are the preliminary questions which we must ask. And the answers which we shall find to them may perhaps help to assure us that we are not following a vain quest, on a track that leads no whither, and may furnish some ideas that, if kept steadily in mind, will serve as guides and sign-posts throughout the journey.
