Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in American and British Literature The object of literature in education is to open the mind, to correct it, to refine it, to enable it to comprehend and digest its knowledge, to give it power over its faculties, application, flexibility, method, critical exactness, sagacity, address and expression. - John Henry Newman. All the arts are dwarfed by the power of literature. Each other art can express only some part of the mind; music a part, architecture a part, painting a part, but literature can express all the thoughts and emotions of the entire spirit. And this art one can carry with him when he travels; it can flourish in one little room. It depends not upon wealth or house or gallery, but where the mind has a common education there this art can find its home. - Professor Swing. To love the best literature is to possess the truest and most imperishable of earthly riches. Such a love gives to the young what they most need. It creates and sustains high and beautiful ideals of human life, gives them the choicest companions and truest friends, and enlarges their mental and spiritual horizon. It enables them to keep the keen appreciation, sweet trustfulness, and beautiful simplicity of childhood, while it multiplies both their powers or usefulness and sources of happiness. - Frank V.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in American Literature: A Text-Book for Academies and High Schools Verse is SO generally employed in poetry that the terms are often confused. They Should be carefully distinguished; for much good verse, like Dr. Holmes' famous One Hoss Shay, has scarcely any elements of poetry, and there is prose, like Ik Marvel's Dream Life, which is essentially poetic. It is not easy to define poetry. It is the kind of writing in which the imagination predominates. It employs metaphor, simile, personification, and other tropes more freely than does prose. Poetry does not argue. It reports the Visions of the seer. It is essentially creative. The poet appeals to the emotions rather than to the understanding. These statements charac terize rather than define, and some of them might be reasonably disputed, but they may serve to help us make the necessary distinction between prose and poetry. The principal forms of prose and verse had been developed in English Literature before American Literature began to be. American writers imparted qualities of their own to these already established forms. But they have not - except in a few in stances - attempted to change them or to depart from them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of American Literature: A Text-Book for Schools and Colleges HE systematic study of English Literature, as part of the course of ordinary English education, has been introduced almost entirely within' the last thirty years. The reader who will take the trouble to look over the old catalogues of our Colleges and Schools, will find no vestige of such a study prior to 1844. The Class Book of Poetry and the Class Book of Prose, issued in 1844, by the author of the present volume, were a feeble beginning in this line. Though intended primarily for reading-books, they were to some extent studies in literature. The selections from the various authors were in each case prefixed by a brief critical and biographical notice of the author, and were arranged in chronological order, so as to fumish the teacher and the scholar with something like an outline of the general eentse of English Literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American and English Studies, Vol. 2 A Recent essay on Dr. Johnson began with A the remark, "We may talk about him, and praise him, because we shall be the better for so doing; but we shall certainly say nothing new about him. These words may be applied to Abraham Lincoln with the utmost emphasis. Libraries have been written about him. His devoted and accomplished secretaries prepared a monumental work, telling all the things proper that the public should be told of him and of his great days as seen from the White House. A kind of inferior Boswell, but more communicative and even less fastidious, appeared in the person of his own partner in his Illinois law office. Senators and Representatives in Congress vied with each other in biographies and eulogies. Every clerk that served him, every politician that gained access to him, every civilian soldier that owed him promotion or pardon, the very employees of the departments, the captains of tens or hundreds in the remoter party organizations, and, of course, the members of the press, who in pursuit of their duty followed his footsteps and guessed at his purposes, - all felt bound to record and generally to publish their facts and their observations. The statesmen and the press of all nations first laughed at him, then studied him, analyzed him, weighed and estimated him;and at the end the civilized world paid him homage.
