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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline History of English Literature The purpose and plan of this little book may easily be gathered from the introductory chapter. Only a few words of preface, therefore, are needed. As I conceive it, a history of English literature, however brief, should still be a history of English literature in fact as well as in name; and for a history something more is required than a list of authors and their books, and even than a chronologically-arranged collection of biographical sketches and critical appreciations. It is true that a nation's literature is made up of the works of individual writers, and that for the ordinary purposes of study these writers may be detached from their surroundings and treated separately. But we cannot get a history of such literature unless and until each one has been put into his place in the sequence of things and considered with reference to that great body of literary production of which his work must now be regarded as a part. A history of English literature, then, must be interested primarily in English literature as a whole. Its chief aim should be to give a clear and systematic account, not of the achievements of successive great writers merely, as such, but of national changes and development. This does not imply neglect of the personal factor. On the contrary, it brings the personal factor into relief; for if each writer is to be considered with reference to literature as a whole, one main subject of enquiry must be the nature and value of his particular contribution to that whole.

The short reigns of his son Edward VI. and his daughter Mary were followed by the Historical DEGREES0IiS reign of his daughter Elizabeth (1558Sketoh. 1603). The Scotch Stuart, James I., occupied the throne from 1603 to 1625, and his son Charles I. succeeded him. From the literary point of view the culmination of the period lies between the years 1590 and 1610, as Shakespeare's greatest works were produced then. But the preceding years were preparatory, the forces were gathering, and their influence was continued after the death of the preeminent genius who gave them the fullest expression. Milton's " Comus " was presented in 1634, and may be regarded as the last great literary production of the age. The later years of the reign of Charles I. may fairly be put in the Puritan age because the Puritan spirit became dominant before the execution of the king and the establishment of the Commonwealth. During this period England became Protestant, and, although historically the working of the...
