Excerpt from The Literary Sense She was going to meet her lover. And the fact that she was to meet him at Cannon Street Station would almost, she feared, make the meeting itself banal, sordid. She would have liked to meet him in some green, cool orchard, where daffodils swung in the long grass, and primroses stood on frail stiff little pink stalks in the wet, scented moss of the hedgerow. The time should have been May. She herself should have been a poem - a lyric in a white gown and green scarf, coming to him through the long grass under the blossomed boughs. Her hands should have been full of bluebells, and she should have held them up to his face in maidenly defence as he sprang forward to take her in his arms.

Excerpt from Sir Walter Scott, as a Critic of Literature The lack of any adequate discussion of Scott's critical work is a sufficient reason for the undertaking of this study, the subject of which was suggested to me more than three years ago by Professor Trent of Columbia University. We still use critical essays and monumental editions prepared by the author of the Waverley novels, but the criticism has been so overshadowed by the romances that its importance is scarcely recognized. It is valuable in itself, as well as in the opportunity it offers of considering the relation of the critical to the creative mood, an especially interesting problem when it is presented concretely in the work of a great writer. No complete bibliography of Scott's writings has been published, and perhaps none is possible in the case of an author who wrote so much anonymously. The present attempt includes some at least of the books and articles commonly left unnoticed, which are chiefly of a critical or scholarly character. I am glad to record my gratitude to Professor William Allan Neilson, now of Harvard University, and to Professors A. H. Thorndike, W.W. Lawrence, G. P. Krapp, and J. E. Spingarn, of Columbia, for suggestions in connection with various parts of the work. From the beginning Professor Trent has helped me constantly by his advice as well as by the inspiration of his scholarship, and my debt to him is one which can be understood only by the many students who have known his kindness.

Excerpt from The Literary World: Eighth Reader The boy or girl who reads this book will find in it certain pieces of prose and poetry, each complete in itself, which have come to be regarded as standard literature. These, and many others besides, every intelligent boy and girl should know. Young readers may well ask, in this day of almost endless variety in books and periodicals, What is standard literature and why should we read it? Such a direct question deserves a clear and candid answer. All prose and poetry which have found a permanent place in the minds of cultivated people we call standard literature. This did not happen by chance. Out of a great deal of writing in every age, a few stories and essays and plays and poems pleased men and women so much that they collected them in libraries for their own enjoy ment and for the use of others. These pieces of literature are in artistic form, that is, they are so put together as to satisfy our sense of beauty. We find pleasure in looking at a Greek statue because it is perfectly proportioned; we enjoy an old Italian painting because it is delicate in coloring and harmonious in form; we are attracted by aclassic temple or a Gothic tower because of its wonderful symmetry. Such statues and paintings and buildings appeal to our finer feelings, or emotions, and stimulate our imaginations. Good literature does that, too, besides making us think and act. It furnishes us with worthy ideas and noble ideals. In reading it, we unconsciously grow in time to love and imitate the best and to distin guish what is cheap and showy from what is genuine and lasting. The English poet Wordsworth, in one of his fine poems, hopes that the mind of the person to whom he is speaking will some day be a mansion for all lovely forms and her memory as a dwelling-place of all sweet sounds and harmonies. That is what the authors of this book which you are beginning wish for your minds and memories. You should read, first of all, for enjoyment; literature is intended to give pleasure. Through pleasure will come profit. Your mind will be enriched, your memories stored with treasures. What you read in this volume has permanent value. Most of these literary units have been sealed with the approval of more than one generation of readers. After you have finished this book, if you ear nestly desire to go on reading, you will have learned what standard literature is, and the question with which this little introductory talk to you began will have been satis factorily answered.

Excerpt from Literature Through Art: A New Approach to French Literature To the literary historian, a history of French literature in which art is used as the key to a better and deeper understanding of literature will be of primary concern. The art historian, on the other hand, will take the 0p posite view wishing to see art elucidated by other forms of expression. To us the paramount problem is the comparative analysis and appreciation of texts and pictures in their details. For this purpose the historian must also be a philologist and a critic, i.e. One who can analyze both texts and pictures with correctness and taste. Therefore philologist and critic must be under stood here in a double sense; first, factually, in regard to interpretation and iconography and second, formally, in regard to stylistics and formal de scription. From a methodological point of view, philology is involved in yet an other sense. It is gratifying to see that the text-bound analytical, and stylistic method in literary history as used here, and as Opposed to the traditionally vague, synthetic, and persuasive method, finds even on the non-compara tive level enthusiastic support from the analysts of literary style. It is they who have called for a change in the way of literary history. The method of explication de textes has been used for some years for historical purposes in the sense that the new literary history in the making is considered to be composed of single layers of interpreted texts as encountered in successive epochs. It is this method that is used here on a comparative basis, the ex plications de textes having been supplemented by the explications de tableaux.

Excerpt from The Sense of Humor This may seem a remote opening for a book about humor, but it happens that the problem of humor has always been a special field of play for the irresponsible essay-writer, and the literature that adorns it is no toriously inconsequential. When I told Bernard Shaw that I was writing this book, he advised me to go to a sanitarium. There is no more dangerous literary symptom, he said, than a temptation to write about wit and humor. It indicates the total loss of both. And with a proper emphasis upon the word literary, that is entirely true. But if technical science con tinnes to develop as it has in the last half-century, and men of letters continue not to develop, it will soon be true that there is no more dangerous literary symptom than a temptation to write about any problem of gen eral knowledge. People will take our Plays seriously, but not our Prefaces - not our essays, epigrams, and immortal disquisitions. These they will glance through with an indulgent smile, and then go look the thing up in a laboratory report and find out what the truth is.

Excerpt from American Literature England at the time of the dawn of American literature was enjoying a period of great prosperity and influence, thanks to the genius and wisdom of Queen Elizabeth, who had lived till four years before the landing at Jamestown. James I, as king of England and Scotland, had united the crowns of the two countries. He was encouraging the expansion of British trade and the extension Of the British domain by subsidizing exploration, and by granting royal patents to his noble friends for the colonizing of America. Englishmen of this happy period possessed a rich heritage of literature, including the works of Chaucer, Malory, Speu ser, and Marlowe. They were enjoying the companionship of such immortals as Beaumont and Fletcher, Ben Jonson, Bacon, and Shakspere. Under the direction Of the authors themselves they saw acted those great dramas that will be the delight and inspiration of millions so long as the English language shall exist. When our forefathers sailed away from the shores of England to Virginia and to Massachusetts, they carried with them, as Englishmen, an interest in this priceless heritage. As we trace the growth of literature in America we shall Observe that the literary dependence of America on England gradually became less in the same way and for much the same reason as did the political dependence. As America became settled and her men and women found time for self-culture and contemplation, she became less de pendent ou the mother country for literary inspiration; and with nationality came literature in its more restricted sense, a literature permeated with the freshness and the vigor of the land that gave it birth.

Excerpt from The Reader's Basis Experience has shown that the subject of literary composition, taught in successive grades during a period of two or three school years, is not grasped by the student with any sense of the unity of the whole, and that, therefore, near the end of the required course in English, a review should be given which will unify what the student has previously learned. Moreover, since it is the main purpose of the early part of the English course to stimulate and train a student's power of expression, and to present the subject of literary composition from a writer's or speaker's point of view, so it should be the main purpose of the latter part of the course to train the student's power to read, and to present the same subject from the reader's point of view. It is, therefore, the object of this book to unify the impressions received by students during a course vin English by giving in condensed statement the whole theory of literary composition, presenting the subject from a reader's rather than a writer's point of view. The book is intended to be used during the last half year of a required English course, and is intended to lay the basis for advanced elective courses, and for the regular English courses in college. Although the book is intended primarily for use in the class-room, it is purposely put in a form which may be acceptable to the general reader.
