Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brief Handbook of English Authors This brief handbook is intended simply for every-day use, when reference to larger works of the kind may not be convenient. Experience has proved that the small book which can be readily taken up is consulted far more frequently than the ponderous volume that requires great muscular exertion to lift. In the world of letters as in the world of society conventionality plays no unimportant part, as every student of literature knows. That there is such a thing as "conventional immortality" every biographical dictionary yields abundant evidence. Even so small a work as this must necessarily contain many names that have achieved this conventional immortality through the accident of circumstance. Some literary fames are among the legacies left by preceding centuries to the present one to account for and explain. And when all is said, "the iniquity of oblivion blindly scattereth her poppy and dealeth with the memory of men without distinction to merit of perpetuity."

Download or read book A History of English Literature Classic Reprint written by Robert Huntington Fletcher and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Literature This book aims to provide a general manual of English Literature for students in colleges and universities and others beyond the high-school age. The first purposes of every such book must be to outline the development of the literature with due regard to national life, and to give appreciative interpretation of the work of the most im portant authors. I have written the present volume be cause I have found no other that, to my mind, combines satisfactory accomplishment of these ends with a selec tion of authors sufficiently limited for clearness and with adequate accuracy and fulness of details, biographical and other. A manual, it seems to me, should supply a sys tematic statement of the important facts, so that the greater part of the student's time, in class and without, may be left free for the study of the literature itself. I hope that the book may prove adaptable to various methods and conditions of work. Experience has suggested the brief introductory statement of main literary prin ciples, too often taken for granted by teachers, with much resulting haziness in the student's mind. The list of as signments and questions at the end is intended, of course, to be freely treated. I hope that the list of available inexpensive editions of the chief authors may suggest a practical method of providing the material, especially for colleges which can provide enough copies for class use. Poets, of course, may be satisfactorily read in volumes of selections; but to me, at least, a book of brief extracts from twenty or a hundred prose authors is an absurdity. Perhaps I may venture to add that personally I find it ad visable to pass hastily over the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and so gain as much time as possible for the nineteenth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Handbook for Writers The description of English forms and functions in this book is primarily a grammar of written English, but since writing is ulti mately a representation of Speech, references to spoken forms are included where they will be useful. A writer who is not attentive to his ear is generally a very poor writer. Besides, the sound of speech, if it conveys the intended meaning, often tells a writer what to put in the writing. At the same time, it has been assumed that the current generation of students and teachers can deal more efficiently with visual criteria of classification than they can with phonological, whatever may be true when linguistic study is fur ther advanced and its results more generally known.
