Studies in Literature: 1789-1877 (Classic Reprint)

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Studies in Literature

IN bringing these Essays together I carry out the inten tion with which they were originally written. Xvithout forming a continuous study they circle around common thoughts and topics, and so in a measure belong to one another. The first three essays put in position some of the subjects and persons treated in detail in the later essays; there is therefore occasionally some repetition, the first essays saying in brief what others express more at large. I had intended to add to these introductory essays a fourth on the Mediaeval Revival, but I found that this great movement could not be viewed as seemed to me right without a more comprehensive survey than was possible in the present volume; and such an intro ductory essay happened not to be necessary in order to place in position any Of the subjects afterwards treated, for even Lamennais belongs more to the democratic movement than to the Catholic revival. I have confined this volume to studies in English and French literature. It is my wish on a future occasion to follow up these essays with others treating of sub jects from the literature and thought Of Germany.
