Présentation de l'éditeur
Democracy is still on trial It must justify itself or die. Lowell states one of the standards thus: Democracy must show its capacity for producing, not a higher average man, but the highest possible t3rpes of manhood I in all I ts manifold varieties, or it is a failure. .. .T hat )this highest t)rpe of manhood may be attained in our country,-under the existing opportunities of self-development, has been frequently claimed, and if this life be possible, then the expression of it should be also. The highest possible type of literature should succeed the highest possible type of manhood. ... This national literature must be the development, consciously or un consciously, of all the best literary powers of the best American people Such a national literature is indispensable to the union of these States not that union based upon the consent of the governed, and bound by political regulations of their making, but the essential union of common sentiments and ideals secured by a common pride in intellectual achievement, and a partnership in patriotism. Professor Charles F. Kent s Inaugural Address on Literature and Life.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
