The papers herein presented are discussions within the definite province of English Letters. They are developed along historical and critical lines and seek to relate the study of our vernacular with the manifest progress of English thought and life. As will be seen, some of the topics treated are of a general, comprehensive nature and range, but sufficiently illustrated by concrete example to make them intelligible and practically helpful to the literary student, while others are more specific. The articles have all appeared in the columns, respectively, of the Bibliotheca Sacra, The Methodist Review, The Presbyterian Review, and The Book-L over, These papers constitute a companion volume to the English Literary Miscellany already published.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between earlier and later English literature, examining how the former shaped the latter. The author argues that there is a significant historical order in English literature and that studying earlier works is essential to understanding those that followed. The book explores three specific qualities that earlier works passed on to later ones: literary vigor, naturalness, and sobriety. These qualities are seen as having a significant influence on the development of English literature and are argued to be worthy of conservation in contemporary writing. The book concludes by discussing the changing literary tendencies of modern times and emphasizing the importance of preserving the qualities inherited from earlier literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
