Excerpt from A First Sketch of English Literature This book is but a first sketch of what in English Writers it is the chief work of my life to tell as fully and as truly as I can. But no labour of this kind is intended to save any one the pains of reading good books for himself. It is useful only when it quickens the desire to come into real contact with great minds of the past, and gives the kind of knowledge that will lessen distance between us and them.

Excerpt from An Outline Sketch of English Literature In so brief a history of so rich a literature, the problem is how to get room enough to give, not an adequate impression - that is impossible - but any impression at all of the subject. To do this I have crowded out every thing but belles lettres. Books in philosophy, history, science, etc., however important in the history of English thought, receive the merest incidental mention, or even no mention at all. Again, I have omitted the literature of the Anglo-Saxon period, which is written in a language nearly as hard for a modern Englishman to read as German is, or Dutch. Caedmon and Cynewulf are no more a part of English literature than Vergil and Horace are of Italian. I have also left out the vernacular literature of the Scotch before the time of Burns. Up to the date of the union Scotland was a separate kingdom, and its literature had a development independent of the English, though parallel with it. In dividing the history into periods, I have followed, with some modifications, the divisions made by Mr. Stopford Brooke in his excellent little Primer of English Literature. A short reading course is appended to each chapter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of English Literature: In a Series of Biographical Sketches Books into the framework formed by the accession of our Sovereigns, I have adopted a purely literary division. Selecting such great landmarks as the Birth of Chaucer, and the Introduction of Printing, I find that Ten Eras, each possessing a very distinct character, will embrace every name of note, from the oldest Celtic bards to Tennyson and Carlyle. The pre-english Era takes a rapid view of British books and book-makers before the birth of Chaucer, about whose day the true English Literature began to exist. In the nine remaining Eras an entire chapter is devoted to each greatest name, writers of less mark being grouped together in a closing section. Short illustrative Specimens, intended mainly to form the basis of lessons on variety of style, are appended to all the leading lives. Since names that cannot be passed over grow very thick towards the end, the closing chapters of the last two Eras have been arranged upon a plan which prevents confusion, and, by the use of Supplement ary Lists, admits the mention of many authors who must otherwise have been left out.

Excerpt from English Literature: A Historical Sketch of English Literature, From the Earliest TimesThe revival OF letters is a most appropriate phrase to designate the impulse which learning received after its long neglect during the dark ages. Ancient learning, however great were its achievements, and however confident it may have been of eternal duration, died as other things mortal die, and was buried, together with almost everything, great and small, which it had accomplished. The world can never estimate what it has lost by the destruction of the works of ancient genius. I The comparatively little which has been preserved of them is sufficient to convince us that we cannot too much admire the. Men and the ages which produced them; nor can we too deeply lament the brutality of those barbarians, and the fanaticism of those early Christians, who were alike eager to annihilate everything which the exquisite civilisation of the ancients had achieved.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Sketches of English Literature, From the Fourteenth to the Present Century Nothing could appear more strange than the rusty iron chains hanging so thickly from the shelves it seemed the prison rather than the home of the books. And this in olden times was the town library I It is probable that Wimborne was honoured above most towns of its size, not only by having its noble Minster, but by its pos sessing a public library of any kind. It is true that even from the early part of the sixteenth century it had a great advantage in its admirable school, which was founded by the illustrious Mar garet Beaufort, the mother of Henry VIL, awoman who was deservedly called the Mother of the Stu dents of the Universities And the probability is, that the townspeople, as books slowly increased, were tolerably competent to understand, and likely to value them.

Excerpt from Sketch of English Literature: With the Lives and Works of the Chief Authors This short outline of the Chief Periods in English Literature does not in any wise claim to be more than an introduction to the subject, but it is intended to form a basis for good oral lessons, and to be used as a text-book in conjunction with such lessons. I have endeavoured to (preserve the consecutive narrative as far as possible, so that the book may form a Literature Reader to be used with some book of Specimen Extracts. The chief object of the compiler of such an outline literature ought to be to encourage pupils to read for themselves the works of our great authors, and one great step in accomplish ing this is to arouse interest in the growth and development of our literature, and in the personality of the great men who form its central figures. Apart even from their literary interest, the lives and characters of such men as Milton, Dr. Johnson, Scott, or Wordsworth, are quite invaluable for study. I have added a short Bibliography, which I hope will be found useful both to young teachers and students of the subject.
