Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chronological Outlines of American Literature Chronology is the backbone of history - of the history of literature as of any other. Perhaps no tool is more useful to a student of literature than a well-made table of well-selected titles and dates. Of late years no better implement of this kind has been devised than Mr. Frederick Ryland's "Chronological Outlines of English Literature," published in 1890. Mr. Ryland planned a work which should occupy toward literary history the position a date-book holds toward political history. In his Part I. he sought to bring "the annals of English literature into connection with general European literature and with history, so that a glance enables us to see the position that a given work occupies in the line of development;" and in his Part II. he gave an alphabetical list of authors with their principal works. Mr. Ryland hoped that Part I. would perform in some degree "the same kind of service for the student of literary history as a map does for the student of geography," while Part II. could be utilized in "studying literature from the biographical point of view." That Mr. Ryland has been successful in his hope is the testimony of all who have had occasion to use his invaluable manual; and the more it has been used, the more fully are its merits recognized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to examine the literary history of the United States in terms of the chronological occurrence of significant events and activities. This comprehensive volume lists the dates of birth and death of literary figures, important historical facts, and the authors and titles of works published for each year, from Colonial times to the present. The compiler's introduction offers an interesting and informative discussion of how, from little more than a list of author's titles, and events, we may observe a year in the history of a nation, through the political, scientific, and social developments that fired the imaginations of America's writers, and fed the appetites of a growing reading public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chronological Outlines of English Literature The need of tolerably full Annals of English Literature is frequently felt by lecturers and by private students. They Often require a colourless Outline within which details may be placed, and which may serve to bring into prominence the chronological relations Of the facts they deal with. NO work hitherto published can be said to occupy, with regard to our literary history, the same position which an ordinary date book does with regard to our political history. The present volume aims at supplying this want. It is divided into two parts. Part I. Brings the Annals of English Literature into connection with general European literature and with history, so that a glance enables us to see the position that a given work occupies in the line of development. We can thus Obtain a conspectus of the chief literary work that was being done at any given date, and trace the growth Of schools and movements. In fact it is hoped that Part I. Will perform in some degree the same kind of service for the student Of literary history as a map does for the student of geography. From the beginning of the sixteenth century each Opening presents six columns. The first gives the dates. The second contains the names Of the principal English works published in each year. While only first editions are as a rule mentioned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines in American Literature The following outlines are arranged for class use in connection with text-books and reference books. They are not intended to be committed to memory by the pupil, but rather to guide him in the study of an author's works. In studying a literary production the pupil should learn: (i) the name of its author, (2) what it is about, (3) the circum stances under which it was written or which led to its writing, (4) so much of the author's life as will throw light on the work or add interest to it. The names of periodicals are given in italics; other literature, in black type. F. E. S. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline History of English and American Literature: For Use in Colleges and Schools It has been ray object to compress into this book the minimum of what every young person should know of the literature of our own country and England, even if his education is strictly scientific. I believe that specializing in any one period is more likely to prove fruitful and of benefit to the student if preceded by a general review of the development of thought and expression in the English-speaking peoples. The book is intended as a text-book for a course of three hours a week for a school year of thirty-three weeks. As a rule I have aimed at keeping the biographical matter and the critical matter in separate paragraphs, in order that the teacher may use his discretion in requiring biographical matter to be memorized (for there must be a certain amount of drudgery insisted on in the study of literature) and critical matter merely to be read. I have, however, endeavored to keep in view the needs and limitations of a text-book, and have omitted many names that would find a place in a manual or pocket encyclopedia. American literature is treated on a fuller plan than is English literature, the object being to make one book and one course suffice for an introduction to both subjects.
