This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in English History From Original Sources, Vol. 3 The day is past when History is looked upon as a dry and uninteresting study. Nothing, when pro perly taught, can be more interesting, dramatic, intensely luminous, and at the same time useful. Taking our own rough island story, what do we learn therein? We get to know who and what were the peoples that have made up the present British race: how and under what struggles our forefathers won the civil and religious liberties that we now enjoy: how and under what conditions the various steps in our social progress were made: how grew the Empire over which waves the Union Jack, and on which the sun never sets History therefore becomes a part of practical politics; for in it we can learn from the mistakes and successes of the Past how, to a certain extent, to regulate matters of the Present. The question has often been asked actually, and, perhaps, more often inwardly, How do we know all these things?

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.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 346 pages. 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 chrono logically - 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.

Download or read book Original Sources of English History Classic Reprint written by L. F. Salzman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Original Sources of English History Arlier generations of schoolboys learnt English History as a series of unrelated facts set out in text-books of doubtful accuracy but indubitable dullness these facts, and above all the dates of their occurrence, they memorized, at the command of their teachers, with the intelligence, if not always with the fidelity, of the average parrot. More of such teachers and text-books have survived the passage of years than might have been hoped; but for some time past more enterprising teachers have supplemented their text-books with Source Books - selections of excerpts and translations from ancient chronicles and contemporary records. Yet, so far as I know, no writer has attempted to show the relation between these extracts and the text-books, or to explain on what bases History is built up. This little book - which had its origin in a course of lectures on The Original Sources of English History, which I gave at St. George's School, Harpenden - seeks to fill that gap. Its objects are two; first, to give the reader some general idea of the materials which the historian can, and should, use, and next to indicate the fascinating light on history which the student can Obtain by indulging in research among those materials. If any critic would complain that I have omitted much worthy of mention, I would retort that I am well aware of that fact, and that, had I chosen, I could have written a prodigious learned book that would have completely failed to serve my purpose. That purpose is not to satiate but to stimulate the appetite. Those who are interested in what I have written will gain more by following the subject up for themselves; those who are bored may at least be grateful that I have been brief. For the same reason I have not attempted any elaborate biblio graphy; the few hints I have given of the where abouts of materials are sufficient to start the enthusiast on his path - a path on to which even the most portentous list of books would never beguile anyone else.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handy Helps in the Study and Reading of English History Catherine de Medicis, wife of Henry II., held almost undisputed sway through the reigns of her three sons, and she is supposed to have been one of the prime movers in the terrible massacre of St. Bartholomew, which cast such a horror over all Europe. Philip II. Was more successful in his struggle against Protestantism in Spain than he was in the Netherlands. Both Ferdinand I. And his son, Maximilian, seem to have learned the lesson of moderation so little known elsewhere in Europe.

Download or read book A First Book in Old English written by Albert S. Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Book in Old English: Grammar, Reader, Notes, and Vocabulary The selections have been made with reference to giving a fairly just, though necessarily incomplete, view of the surroundings, occupations, problems, ideals, and senti ments of our English ancestors. The earlier pieces of both prose and poetry are short; the longer ones that follow either have more sustained interest, or are sup ported by their reference to preceding ones; but they, too, fall 'into natural subdivisions, partially indicated in the printing, so that they may be read as successions of short extracts. It may be objected that Latin and Greek have been too freely used for illustration. The reply to such an objection is twofold: that the book is likely to fall into the hands of some who possess at least an elemen tary acquaintance with one or both of these languages, and that to these the disclosure of the relations involved in a comparison with the ancient tongues will materially increase their pleasure and their gain; and, secondly, that the book may be intelligently read, from cover to cover, without the slightest knowledge of either Greek or Latin.

Download or read book English Literature Classic Reprint written by John Calvin Metcalf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 458 pages. 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.

Download or read book Special Method for Literature and History written by Charles A. McMurry and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Special Method for Literature and History: In the Common Schools This is the first of a series of small books treating of special method in each of the common school studies. The plan is to outline courses for each important branch of school work, to discuss the value of the materials and to explain the method of treatment in classes. The relation of studies to each other will receive much incidental notice. The series of Special Methods is designed to carry forward to a fuller application and in definite detail the principles discussed in the General Method. This first of the series of Special Methods is a selection and discussion of those literary and historical materials which are adapted to an oral treatment throughout the grades. In the history work of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, books and references may be much used by the children. The use of the best English classics as regular reading books in all the grades will be discussed in the second number of the Special Methods (now in press). Another series of books is in preparation in which the actual materials (Fairy Tales, Robinson Crusoe, etc.) to be handled in history and literature, as here discussed, will be presented in the simple form required in the schools. Our plan, therefore, is to advance from the most general statement of principles to the most specific application to particular studies.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of English Literature Vol 5 Classic Reprint written by Adolphus William Ward and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cambridge History of English Literature, Vol. 5 The editors hope that readers of these volumes will find that the chapters supplement each other in particular passages, more especially in those which seek to summarise certain growths, such as the chronicle history, the domestic drama and the pastoral drama. Although an attempt has been made, wherever possible, to avoid discrepancies with regard to the dates of certain plays or to the shares of dramatists in plays written in conjunction, it is inevitable, in a work of composite authorship, that some such discrepancies should remain. The cross references which the editors have added in their footnotes will, it is hoped, enable students readily to test for themselves the nature of the evidence upon which individual conclusions are based.
