Book Description
This book, which presents the whole splendid history of English literaturefrom Anglo-Saxon times to the close of the Victorian Era, has threespecific aims. The first is to create or to encourage in every student thedesire to read the best books, and to know literature itself rather thanwhat has been written about literature. The second is to interpretliterature both personally and historically, that is, to show how a greatbook generally reflects not only the author's life and thought but also thespirit of the age and the ideals of the nation's history. The third aim isto show, by a study of each successive period, how our literature hassteadily developed from its first simple songs and stories to its presentcomplexity in prose and poetry.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Faerie Queene as Children's Literature
Author: Velma Bourgeois RichmondPublisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476666172
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Edmund Spenser's vast epic poem The Faerie Queene is the most challenging masterpiece in early modern literature and is praised as the work most representative of the Elizabethan age. In it he fused traditions of medieval romance and classical epic, his religious and political allegory creating a Protestant alternative to the Catholic romances rejected by humanists and Puritans. The poem was later made over as children's literature, retold in lavish volumes and schoolbooks and appreciated in pedagogical studies and literary histories. Distinguished writers for children simplified the stories and noted artists illustrated them. Children were less encouraged to consider the allegory than to be inspired to the moral virtues. This book studies The Faerie Queene's many adaptations for a young audience in order to provide a richer understanding of both the original and adapted texts.
