Book excerpt: Excerpt from Simple Stories From English History for Young Readers Long, long ago the people who lived in this land were the Celts. They came from the far east, and moving to the west, they came at length to the great sea that stopped them from going any farther. Some of them came to dwell in the land in which we now live. They could not read or write, and so they could not leave behind them books to tell us about them. But at the time in which they lived, there were men who lived in other lands, who could both read and write, and these have left writings that tell us much about the Celts. From these writings we learn, that the Celts were tall, strong men, with bright blue eyes, and long fair hair that hung down their backs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From English History: From B. C. 55 to A. D. 1901 IN writing this book an endeavor has been made to interest boys and girls in English history by stories of some of its great events and of some of the great men who adorn its pages. This aim being kept steadily in view throughout, it seemed right to select certain important incidents and characters, and to deal with them in some detail and in as interesting a way as possible, rather than to load the pages with a multitude of names and dates, in the vain effort to crowd into a few pages a continu ous history which should be at once full and inter esting. Yet it is believed that no important events or personages have been entirely neglected, while particular attention has been directed toward those of chief significance to American boys and gifls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the English Down to the colonial period, if not to the Revolutionary War, English history concerns American children just as much as it does their brothers and sisters who speak the same language on the other side of the broad Atlantic. It is therefore very impor tant that our boys and girls should as soon as possible become familiar with its salient events. To interest them in their own race, introduce them to their mother country, and make the past as vivid as possible, charac ters, customs, and places have in this book been depicted princi pally through anecdotes, many of which have become classical, although not all are admitted into works intended for more ma ture minds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History in Short Stories This little book is not designed to be a History of England. It is, first, a compendium of facts about England, its history, government, and antiquities, - facts which all English-speaking people ought to know, and which are not readily accessible to those Americans who do not have good libraries at hand. It contains, secondly, a series of sketches of each of the English monarchs; not histories of their reigns or complete biographies, but estimates of the historical importance of each. The English kings previous to the Hanoverians are the central figures of English history. The dates and other facts here given have been collated with the greatest care. The intelligent reader need not be informed that Freeman, J. R. Green, Pearson, and others are entirely reconstructing English history, and fresh estimates of men and events are resulting.

So closely are the work and the worker bound together that nu less the biography be fully written no real account of the growth of the book can indeed be given.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of English Literature It has been my endeavour, in writing this volume, to tell the story of the beginning and growth of English literature, in a form simple enough to interest the youngest students in our schools and homes and likely to help them to take pleasure in studying this too often neglected subject. In treating the various periods into which I have divided the history, I have devoted some space to describing the character of the age under consideration. All teachers are conscious of the difficulties which surround young students in their efforts to understand the works of authors who lived in times so distant and so different from our own. I need, therefore, make no apology for thus travelling outside the main province of a history of literature, if by so doing I have helped the reader to enter into the spirit of past ages. As biography is of special interest to the young, the lives of the great writers of each age are given a prominent place.

Download or read book A History of Story telling written by Arthur Ransome and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book "A History of Story-telling studies in the development of narrative" examines the history of narrative and storytelling by focusing on the development of form and techniques in the narrative. The book is divided into two major sections. The first section begins with an examination of the origins of narrative and storytelling, then moves on to an analysis of the medieval poem 'The Romance of the Rose,' as well as works by Chaucer and Boccaccio. This section also looks at the Rogue Novel, the Elizabethans, and the Pastoral, as well as Cervantes and eighteenth-century authors like Fielding, Smollett, and the masculine novel. The second section examines Romanticism to various authors such as Chateaubriand and then moves on to a study of nineteenth-century literature before concluding with a note on Flaubert and De Maupassant and a general conclusion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of England Thirdly, I have clung pretty closely to the thread of English history, only introducing mention of other countries when their connection with England was especially close. Since England's story is so long and so eventful, I have felt that it had better here be told as simply, clearly, and continuously as possible, for its own sake, rather than to complicate it by including many facts drawn from the history of other countries.
