Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literature of American History: A Bibliographical Guide This is a narrative of the chief episodes of the his tory of the Germans in this country in the colonial epoch. It is a hasty compilation, loosely thrown to gether, made after a brief study in the literature of the subject, in no sense a scientific contribution to the history of the Germans in America. The sources consulted are mentioned at the end of the book with out reference to their order of importance or publica tion. The bibliography is limited almost exclusively to American works and is even here incomplete. The style is rugged and obscure. Condensed from M. D. Learned in Am. Hist. Rev., 6: 813.

Download or read book A Student s History of American Literature written by William Edward Simonds and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Student's History of American Literature In the preparation of this book, the author has followed in the main the principles embodied in A Student's History of English Literature, published in 1902; less reference has been made, however, to the historical setting - it being assumed that the student is well acquainted with the history of his own country. The author has tried to present the story with directness, omitting what seemed unessential or of minor importance, avoiding the technical both in criticism and in vocabulary, and attempting in the arrangement of material to find a plan as simple and clear as possible. Believing most emphatically that a course in the history of our literature should in no degree supplant the study of its masterpieces, but contribute rather to the enjoyment and correct appreciation of them, he has sought not only to interest his readers in the personal narratives of men and women who have created our literature, - and are still creating it, - but, through the suggestions for study or reading, also to encourage actual acquaintance with the works that compose that literature. Many of the reference books mentioned in the text will be of more value to the teacher than to the pupil; and the experienced instructor will make more frequent use of illustration than of critical comment. It would be gratifying if our principal authors were represented in every school library, and if one such author could be read entire by each student in the course.

Download or read book The Crossroads of American History and Literature written by Philip F. Gura and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2004-06-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crossroads of American History and Literature collects two decades' worth of the best-known essays of Philip F. Gura. Beginning with a definitive overview of studies of colonial literature, Gura ranges through such subjects in colonial American history as the intellectual life of the Connecticut River Valley, Cotton Mather's understanding of political leadership, and the religious upheavals of the Great Awakening. In the nineteenth century, he visits such varied topics as the history of print culture in rural communities, the philological interests of the Transcendentalist Elizabeth Peabody, the craft and business of the early Amerian music trades, and Thoreau's interest in exploration literature and in the Native American. Displaying remarkable sophistication in a variety of fields that, taken together, constitute the heart of American Studies, this collection illustrates the complexity of American cultural history.
