TO MY MOTHER TO WHOM I OWE A LIFETIME OF A MOTHER'S MOST SELF−SACRIFICINGDEVOTION
PREFACE
This book aims to provide a general manual of English Literature for students in colleges and universities andothers beyond the high−school age. The first purposes of every such book must be to outline the developmentof the literature with due regard to national life, and to give appreciative interpretation of the work of the mostimportant authors. I have written the present volume because I have found no other that, to my mind,combines satisfactory accomplishment of these ends with a selection of authors sufficiently limited forclearness and with adequate accuracy and fulness of details, biographical and other. A manual, it seems to me,should supply a systematic statement of the important facts, so that the greater part of the student's time, inclass and without, may be left free for the study of the literature itself.
