Excerpt from Representative English Literature: From Chaucer to Tennyson, Selected and Supplemented With Historical Connection and Map There are already so many text-books of English literature that it seems only proper to state why I have added another to the list. I have attempted to write a book which should answer the needs of those who are beginning to teach the subject according to new methods. In our schools the study of English literature is at present in an experimental and transition stage. In boys' schools especially its value is still practically questioned; its standing uncertain; the methods of teaching it ill defined. Notwithstanding this confusion, there has been for some time a growing tendency to abandon the old plan of memorizing dry facts about authors and their works, and, instead, to bring the student into living contact with the literature itself. The beginner is no longer put off with "elegant extracts" - those scraps and fragments from the banquet: - he now knows that Hamlet does not consist of the soliloquy, or Julius C sar of Mark Antony's oration. This study of the great classics in their entirety is an incalculable gain; but it should not be allowed to wholly supersede the study of the historical development of the literature. In our anxiety to avoid studying the history of the literature without the literature, we are in danger of rushing into the opposite error, and of studying the literature torn from its living historic and human relations. That the second error is less serious than the first affords no sufficient justification; it is serious enough to be avoided.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Representative Names in the History of English Literature The wants of a busy age require some inexpensive book which shall furnish general information, together with a firm grasp of the movement in each field of effort. As auxiliary to our anthologies, dictionaries of authors, bibliographies, and manuals of literature, it has seemed not undesirable to have some "vade mecum" in which should be collected information otherwise accessible only by long and continuous labor. The plan adopted aims at an answer to the various rational questions which might be asked about an author as an author: when did he live, who were his contemporaries, what was his standpoint, what are his representative works, for what and how far can we trust him, who vouched for his reliability, and what did he do to further the progress of literature? The selection of names has been made with reference to the authors whom the world has accepted as representative of English literature; as minor writers there have been added those whose services have an historical value. Literature has been understood in the strictest sense - the perfect adaptation of the form to the thought expressed; judgment is pronounced from the aesthetic point of view, and not from that of Ethics, Politics, or Commerce; Oratory, Theology, Physics, and Metaphysics have been excluded except when their form has entitled them to literary recognition. The time of any author has been indicated by giving the date of his birth and death, together with the "Era" in which he would be classed. The classification of Wm. Francis Collier is noticeably simple and serviceable, and has been used; it is as follows: - 1st Era. From the birth of Chaucer, 1328, to the Introduction of Printing, 1474. IId " " " Introduction of Printing, 1474, to the accession of Elizabeth, 1558. IIId " " " Accession of Elizabeth, 1558, to the shutting of the Theatres, 1648. IVth " " " Shutting of the Theatres, 1648, to the Death of Milton, 1674. Vth " " " Death of Milton, 1674, to the Publication of the Tatler, 1709. VIth " " " Publication of the Tatler, 1709, to the Publication of Pamela, 1740. VIIth Era. " " " " Pamela, 1740, to the Death of Johnson, 1784. VIIIth " " " Death of Johnson, 1784, to the Death of Scott, 1832. IXth " " " " " Scott, 1832, to the Present Time. In the case of American writers the Eras are not used, as contemporaneity is of small consequence; it may be added that less exclusiveness has been thought desirable in the case of those belonging to our own country. The classification of authors and literary forms is believed to be at once simple and exhaustive: if this belief be well-founded, there will be one less want among the many which oppress the earnest scholar.
