 INTERESTING AS A NOVEL 



INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY 

 OF ENGLISH LITERATURE 



By VIDA D. SCUDDER, A.M. 



Professor of English Literature at Wellesley College 



For the high school and the younger classes in college. It gives a clear and 

 C9rrect idea of each great period of English Literature and guides in the 

 direct and copious reading of texts. Each part begins with a picture of the 

 period treated; the significance of our origins and the imaginative achieve- 

 ment of the great medieval centuries are clearly shown and the student is 

 enabled to trace the many strands, racial, physical, ethical, and spiritual, 

 of which the glorious factric of English Literature is woven. 

 Special prominence is given to the greatest and most significant figures in 

 our literature. In addition to the bibliographical references at the end of 

 each chapter there are practical suggestions for discussions by the students 

 and for talks by the teacher. A full outline of authors with their works and 

 contemporary events in tables arranged for easy reference is also given. 

 The book is thoroughly human, interesting, attractive, and inspiring, and 

 has a literary charm not found in the ordinary textbook. There is not a 

 dry page in it and there is no book that presents the story of English Litera- 

 ture in a manner more likely to awaken the desire for further acquaintance 

 with the books that are so alluringly described.
