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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of English and American Literature It is necessary, first of all, without going into the nice ties of modern philological investigation, to place our mother-tongue in a general way. Three great ethnic and linguistic families must be recognized - the Semitic, the Indo - European, and the Allophylian (or Turanian.) The third of these is a mere aggregation of such races and languages as are neither Semitic nor indo-european. For a scientific classification of the languages formerly grouped as Allophylian, see Morris's Outlines of English Accidence.

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: Excerpt from Contemporary American Literature: A Study Outline It has been deemed best to confine the work in this outline to a few authors, rather than to attempt to cover the whole field by giving a place to each one of the innumerable authors whose work falls within the limits of contemporary American literature. Pattee's "History of American literature since 1870" has been chosen as the main basis of the outline. Some authors not dealt with in Pattee have been included, preference having been given to those most commonly referred to in books and periodicals. Authors whose literary activity has had its beginning since 1900 have not been mentioned. In this outline the suggested points for each paper embody the leading facts about the author. They may be regarded as questions to be looked up by the whole club, they may be assigned to individuals, or they may be treated as a whole by one person. Each one who is responsible for a main topic is advised to use his own judgment in handling his subject and in bringing out other phases than those outlined. The Readings are also suggestions for which other selections may be substituted. The Recommended Reading represents the general consensus of opinion of critics and writers as to the best work of the various authors. Quotations have been freely given in the hope that they may help to a better and more sympathetic understanding of the author, and with the intent that each one may study and decide independently whether as estimates they are just and true.

Download or read book An Introduction to the Study of American Literature Classic Reprint written by Brander Matthews and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of American Literature This book is intended as an introduction to the study of American literature. Although the chapters on the separate authors are wholly distinct, they have been so planned that each of them prepares the way for its suc cessor, and that all of them together outline the changing circumstances under which American literature has devel oped. An attempt has been made to show how each of the chief American authors influenced his time, and how he in turn was influenced by it; and also to indicate how each of them was related to the others, both personally and artistically. Bearing in mind the fact that the student needs to have his attention centered on vital points, all dates and all proper names, and all titles of books not absolutely essen tial, have been rigorously omitted. Interest has thus been concentrated on the literary career of each of the greater writers and on their practice of the literary art, in the hope and expectation that the student will be encouraged and stimulated to read their works for his own pleasure. After the consideration of these more important authors, one by one, the writers of less consequence have been discussed briefly in a single Chapter; and in like manner a single chapter has been devoted to a summary considera tion of the condition of our literature at the beginning Of the twentieth century. NO living author is named in the text. To arouse the student's interest in the authors as actual men, the illustrations chosen have been confined to por traits and views, and to facsimiles of manuscripts. To enable him to see for himself the successive stages of the growth of American literature, and to let him dis cover how the authors sometimes came one after an other and sometimes worked side by side, there has been appended also a chronological table of the chief dates in our literary history. As mere text-book instruction can never be an adequate substitute for the student's own acquaintance with the actual works of the authors discussed, there have been annexed to every chapter bibliographical notes calling attention to the editions most suitable for the student's reading, and also to the best biographies and to a few of the most suggestive criticisms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of English Literature In no case is favour accorded to a period because it happens to be ancient, or to an author by reason of his conventional repute. The Diagrams at the head of each chapter or section are to be understood in the light of the General Plan on the sixth page, of which they are the expansion. With a partial exception in the case of the first, the Poetry in each age is placed to the left of the figure, the Prose to the right; and the treatment proceeds in a similarly uniform manner from Poetry to Prose, the order of historical sequence being preserved as nearly as possible. Where a connecting name in large capitals occurs in the centre of a diagram, the treatment of the authors follows the order of its letters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Literature IN this outline of our literary progress it is especially designed to show how essentially Amer ican literature has been an outgrowth of American life. A people originally of English stock and increasingly open to European influences, we have nevertheless a national character, modified by local conditions, and a national point of View. Hence our literature, while in one aspect a branch of the noble parent literature of England, is rightly viewed, also, as the individual expression of an independent nation. Its significance to us, whose history it embodies and interprets, naturally out ranks its absolute value among the older literatures of the world. It is obvious that the limits of this survey forbid the mention of every distinguished name. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Outlines of Literature written by Truman J. Backus and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Outlines of Literature: English and American; Based Upon Shaw's Manual of English Literature The New History of English Literature, published in 1884, was a revision of Shaw's Manual of English Litera ture. The Manual had been used for ten years by students in American schools and colleges, and had gained far wider circulation than any other volume dealing with its theme. The New History, with its improved typography, its better arrangement, and its fresh material, displaced the earlier book and gained yet higher commendation. This volume, The Outlines of Literature, English and American, is more than a revision of the New History. Line by line the statements and opinions of that volume have been weighed and verified, much that seemed superfluous has been omitted, new chapters have been added, the book has been rewritten, and new allotments of space and im proved arrangements have been secured. The student of this book will have constant reminder of the inseparable relations of the history and the literature of a people, and will find the literatures of England and of America divided into periods corresponding to distinct periods of national history. The discussion of American authors in this volume seeks to awaken students to due appreciation of the literary achievements of our countrymen. Summaries of chapters and references for collateral readings much commended features of the New History - have been simplified and enlarged in this book; and extended lists Of authors not discussed in these pages are furnished for convenient reference, together with authentic dates and with the title of the chief work or the kind.
