Description

""Outlines of English and American Literature"" is a comprehensive guide to the literary traditions of both England and America, written by William J. Long. The book provides a detailed overview of the major literary movements, authors, and works from the earliest periods of English and American literature up to the early 20th century. The book is organized chronologically, with each chapter focusing on a specific period in literary history. Long offers critical analysis and interpretation of the most important works of each era, including works by Shakespeare, Milton, Dickens, Hawthorne, Poe, and Twain, among many others. The book also includes biographical information about each author, as well as historical and cultural context to help readers better understand the literature of each period. Overall, ""Outlines of English and American Literature"" is an essential resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the rich literary traditions of England and America.At the present time a different kind of fiction is momentarily popular; yet if we begin one of Brown's bloodcurdling romances, the chances are that we shall finish it, since it appeals to that strange interest in morbid themes which leads so many to read Poe or some other purveyor of horrors and mysteries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
