Synopsis
Excerpt from English Language and Literary Criticism: A Practical Guide to Systematic Reading and Study; Comprising Typical Selections, Illustrative Criticisms, and Exhaustive Analyses of the Best and Most Notable Works in the English Language
Again, the earnest student will be interested in tracing the influences of climate, of geographical position, of race, of surroundings, upon a people's modes of thought. He will perceive how these modes of thought have imparted individuality and character to the literature, and then how literature has exerted a reflex action upon the charac ter of the people. A study of literature, therefore, includes a thorough and systematic study of history. Properly pursued, it will embrace also a knowledge of geography, of ethnology, psychology, sociology, and all those branches of science which have to do with man in his intellectual capacity and in his relations to his fellow-man.
