Synopsis
Excerpt from Development of English Literature and Language, Vol. 1
Further, a great man, his career, his example, his ideas, can take no strong and permanent hold of the heart and mind, until these have become an integral part Of our established associa tions of thoughts, feelings, and desires. But this can only be accomplished by time. The attention must be detained till the subject becomes real, as the face of a friend; fixed, as the sun and stars: then the energies of apprehension, of judgment, of sympathy, are aroused; and images, principles, truths, senti ments, though the words be forgotten, become fadeless acquisi tions, assimilated into the very substance Of the student's living self. Hence, as the end of liberal education is the cultivation of the student through the awakened exercise of his faculties, the authors studied should be relatively few and representative. Time is wasted and the powers are dissipated by attempting too much. Preeminent authors are creative and pictorial, reflecting, with singular fidelity, the peculiarities of their age; and by limiting the discussion to such, the student acquires the most in learning the least.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of English literature across literary periods, beginning with its prehistoric Celtic and Roman roots. The author argues that a nation's literature is an outgrowth of its life, and this book examines the political, social, and religious forces that have shaped English literature. By exploring the works of major authors as exemplars of these changing eras, the book reveals how historical moments have influenced literary movements. From the oral traditions of the Celts to the sophisticated dramas of Shakespeare, this book provides a comprehensive and engaging overview of literary history. The author's insights into the relationship between literature and its historical context reveal how a nation's literature is not simply a reflection of the times, but an engine of cultural and intellectual growth. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
