Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primer of American Literature The aim of the book is to be simple, orderly, and clear; to tell a few facts in such a way that there need be no confusion in the mind of the reader. While it is hoped that the subject-matter of the book has intrinsic value, a knowledge of literature obviously comes only from study of the literature itself; therefore, primarily the book will have its greatest usefulness when taken as a guide. With this thought in view, suggestions for reading, intended mainly for students in secondary schools, are given at the ends of the chapters. More mature minds will naturally read the books mentioned in the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book American Literature Classic Reprint written by Thomas E. Rankin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 332 pages. 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.

Download or read book Initial Studies American Letters Classic Reprint written by Henry A. Beers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Initial Studies American Letters This volume, originally published in 1887 as An Out line Sketch of American Literature, and reissued under the present title in 1891, with an appendix consisting of selections from representative American writers, is in tended as a companion to the historical sketch of English literature, entitled From Chaucer to Tennyson, pub lished in 1886 (revised edition for the Chautauqua Circle. It has now (1895) been asecond time revised and supplied with marginal catch-words for convenient refer ence. I have also added a few paragraphs to the final chapter, to bring the subject up to date. In writing it I have followed the same plan, aiming to present the sub jcet' in a sort of continuous essay rather than in the form of a primer or elementary manual. I have not under taken to describe, or even to mention, every American author or book of importance, but only those which seemed to me of most significance. Nevertheless I believe that the sketch contains enough detail to make it of some use as a guide-book to our literature. Though meant to be mainly a history of American belles-lettres, it makes some mention of historical and political writings, but hardly any of philosophical, scientific, and technical works.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of American Literature: A Text-Book for Schools and Colleges HE systematic study of English Literature, as part of the course of ordinary English education, has been introduced almost entirely within' the last thirty years. The reader who will take the trouble to look over the old catalogues of our Colleges and Schools, will find no vestige of such a study prior to 1844. The Class Book of Poetry and the Class Book of Prose, issued in 1844, by the author of the present volume, were a feeble beginning in this line. Though intended primarily for reading-books, they were to some extent studies in literature. The selections from the various authors were in each case prefixed by a brief critical and biographical notice of the author, and were arranged in chronological order, so as to fumish the teacher and the scholar with something like an outline of the general eentse of English Literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Compendium of American Literature, Chronologically Arranged: With Biographical Sketches of the Authors, and Selections From Their Works In conclusion, I would only remark that I can desire no greater favor to be Shown by the public to this, than has been extended to my two former volumes. My publishers - and no author could in this respect be more highly favored - have done their part, as before, in a style of great beauty; so that no series of books, I believe, have ever been offered to the public at so moderate a price, considering their amount of reading matter and their mechanical execution.
