Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Summary of English Literature Anything in the nature of a cram-book on English literature lays its compiler open to the charge of literary vandalism and calls for a word at least of apology. It would not be impossible to defend the cram-book, in this case as in others, if it were necessary but the idea at the back of this summary is not wholly that of conveying information in a succinct tabloid form, In regard to important individual authors it draws attention to the salient facts of their outer life, to the leading characteristics of their work and to their place in literature. N o pretence to biographical or biblio graphical completeness is made but it is hoped that no important work has been overlooked and no date of any significance omitted. Similarly no desire of original criticism has been entertained, and the compiler's personal preferences and predilections have been as far as possible held in abeyance. Hence it is hoped that the book may be a safe and reliable guide to the student, helping him in the choice of what to read and drawing his attention to those opinions and criticisms which have become, by the wear and tear of the past, standard and unassailable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Literature The writer of this volume has tried to furnish students and general readers with a clear and concise account of English literature and its makers from the beginnings to the present day. The influences of social and other movements on literary develop ment have been brought out in the brief introductions to the chapters. The biographies set forth the important facts of the authors' careers without extensive comment. This is in accord with the present writer's conviction that much ready-made inter pretation of conditions and motives, after the setting of an author's work and his characteristics have been made clear, is a hindrance rather than a help to students. Since literature is in a peculiar sense an expression of personality, an attempt has been made to sum up the personal traits of each prominent author in a para. Graph or two. Wherever an author's contribution has proved epoch-making in literary history, that fact is given special promi nence in a final summary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of English Literature In treating the various periods into which I have divided the history, I have devoted some space to describing the character of the age under consideration. All teachers are conscious of the difficulties which sur round young students in their efforts to understand the works of authors who lived in times so distant and so different from our own. I need, therefore, make no apology for thus travelling outside the main province of a history of literature, if by so doing I have helped the reader to enter into the spirit of past ages.

Download or read book An Outline Analysis of the History of England Revised Classic Reprint written by Clarence Perkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline Analysis of the History of England (Revised) This Outline is a revision and enlargement of the An Outline Analysis of the History of England prepared by the writer for the use of his classes in English History at the Ohio State University in 1912. This won favor and the writer hopes that the following outline bringing the skeleton of the facts down to 1914 may be of some assistance to other teachers and students of English History. The purpose of the outline is not to provide a general summary of the facts, but merely a scheme of organization to suggest to the student what topics to emphasize in his reading and to teach him to-distinguish between essentials and non-essentials. Hence the facts are not usually stated, but the student is left to work them out from his readings in text books and reference books. It is assumed that the student will read thoroughly a good college text-book of English History such as Cross, History of England and Greater Britain, or Tout, Advanced History of Great Britain. In addition to the text-book students should read part or all the references to other books. Where the numerals (l), (3) each precede a reference -to a different book, it is suggested that the student read any one reference. Such references as have been included in the Outline are not a complete bibliography, but merely suggestions for reading.

Dublin: September 1888. Preface To The Fifth Edition. This work remains what it was at first, a mere sketch or groimd-plan of the vast field of English Literature; but as sketch, the present edition will be found considerably less Um mplete than those which have preceded it. Notices of niQPBthan two hundred additional authors have been incorporated, and articles which have hitherto been missing have been supplied, e, g. on the Fasten Letters, Eikon Basilike, early Welsh literature, c.Many notices have been amended or remodelled, as those on Bobert of Gloucester, Lydgate, Imb, Cobbett, c.Lastly, a new chapter, containing brief liotes on many poets and novelists of recent times, or of the present day, has been added. In preparing this chapter Ive been much assisted by my son William T.Arnold, the editor of Keats, and two of my daughters, Julia Prances MHi Ethel Margaret Arnold; see notes to pages 447 and 455.

Download or read book English History in Rhyme Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Charles H. Gardner and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History in Rhyme This Metrical Summary is one of a series, prepared, or in course of preparation, for use in schools, or for those who wish to memorize in a short time, and in an easy manner, the principal dates and events of history. Its practical value has been tested in my own school, where I have used it in connection with a text-book. Pupils enjoy reciting it, and, when once learned, it is not readily forgotten. The genealogical part of this second edition contains information not given elsewhere in any one book, and affords an answer to every question on the subject which would naturally arise. The Scottish tables are unique, and are quite necessary in properly understanding many portions of the chronicles of England as well as of Scotland. However skeptical some teachers may be, as to the mnemonic value of this method of study, all doubt will disappear upon a trial of its merits. A great point gained is that pupils take hold of the rhyme with enthusiasm, and do not realize while they are learning it that they are surmounting difficulties which have remained unconquered, except by those who have a phenomenal memory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual for Teachers: To Accompany a History of English Literature A few class hours of sympathetic cooperative study between teacher and class are most helpful with almost any subject and especially with At the the history of English literature, which must necessarily beginning begin with the centuries most remote from the pupil's ordinary interests. Furthermore, this introductory class-room study is most desirable with any new textbook. Was enthusiasm in a subject ever aroused by the curt injunction, Buy such and such a book, and prepare the first ten pages? Is not the teacher's aid more helpful applied at the beginning Of a book than anywhere else? Let us look the book over together in the class. What is its title? Just what does that mean? Who are the authors? What do we learn from the Table Of Contents? Is there a preface? Let us hear it read aloud. And when we come to Chapter One, let us examine not only its contents but its form, its arrangement, its divisions, its marginal headings, its summary. The class may be prepared at the outset for an intelligent use and enjoyment of the book. Don't introduce the history as a taskmaster, but rather help the class to an acquaintance with it as a companion and guide. The aims which have been set forth for the teaching Of the history of literature may be scrutinized again with their application to the history. First, it has to do with literature itself. There should be no such thing as the teaching Of the history of literature apart from teaching literature. Second, it has to do with history, not merely political history, but the history Of civilization. Third, it has to do with biography, for our interest in books can only rarely be separated from our interest in the men who wrote them. Fourth, it has to do with the present time, for the literature of the past has a Vital meaning for the youth of today.

Download or read book The Study of English Literature Classic Reprint written by Vida Dutton Scudder and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of English Literature It is no light matter to present within five hundred and fifty pages the story of the imaginative life of a nation as found in its literature. No one can hope for absolute success in such a task. The excuse for adding to the already long list of histories of English literature is that the subject is inexhaustible. The point of view of each new narrator must bring into relief fresh aspects of the great story, and suggest, at least in detail, new lines of approach for the student. This book aims, like all modern text-books, not to supplant, but to accompany the direct and copious reading of texts. The Suggestions for Class Work and for Talks from the Teacher are not merely theoretical; they may in some cases appear at first too advanced, but they have been well tested in a practical experience of over ten years in the class-room. Their application in detail will of course depend on the grade of the class. If the teacher of literature is not prepared to give certain lectures, a teacher of history or of art in the same school may well be asked to do so.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Steps in English Literature In laying out his work the author first discussed the general divisions of the subject, and found that but two needed to be indicated. These, in turn, fell naturally into four subdivisions each, and thus he had a plan of the simplest description, without resorting to any questionable system of nomencla ture, or attempting to mark out divisions where none actually exist. In casting about for names for the divisions thus indicated, the author found the work already done, and it was only necessary for him to adopt those that had stood the test of use, and were supported by the suffrages of schol ars who were acknowledged masters of the sub ject.
