Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of English Literature
This work has a twofold purpose. It seeks, in gen eral, to promote an historical understanding of Eng lish literature; and at the same time to extend this to wider circles.
Regard for these wider circles, whose interest I hope to gain in a subject certainly not unworthy of it, has excluded from my book much that will be missed by the student, and even some things which will be regretted by the master.
