Overview

Excerpt from Representative English Literature: From Chaucer to Tennyson, Selected and Supplemented With Historical Connection and Map The manner in which the book should be used depends upon the needs of each particular class and must be left largely to the tact and judgment of the teacher. The teacher is more than any text-book, and I have tried to recognize this by making the present handbook as flexible as possible. Thus when the class is a comparatively elementary one, some of the historical matter might be omitted, and the time spent on the selected works with the biographical and other sections immediately related to them. If the class is an advanced one, free use of the reference lists and footnotes will enable it topursue many subjects merely hinted at'in the text. This should be done whenever possible, and the student encouraged in an intelligent use of books. The teacher can easily supplement the selections here given, or, if needs be, substitute others. In the case of shorter poems, Ward's English Poets will be found invaluable, for this purpose. Many topics lightly touched ou - as The Influence of Patriotism on the English Drama; Wordsworth and Carlyle their Points of Contact may be used as subjects for essays, if the class is far enough advanced.
