Outlines of the History of the English Language (Classic Reprint) by E. Classen Pdf

Excerpt from Outlines of the History of the English Language If the sole function of language is the communication of thought it follows that every development of thought will produce also a development of language. What we require of language is, therefore, no small thing. We require of it that it shall give expression to every human activity, high and low, good and bad; that it shall render all human knowledge, human emotion, human faith and human ambitions; for the creative impulse in man will never rest until it has found its appropriate expression in words or deeds. We expect of language, therefore, that it shall give expression to every possible development of human thought, and the history of the literature in any particular language is the most convincing proof possible that language rises to the occasion and satisfies those demands. It is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

An Outline History of English Literature (Classic Reprint) by William Henry Hudson Pdf

Excerpt from An Outline History of English Literature The purpose and plan of this little book may easily be gathered from the introductory chapter. Only a few words of preface, therefore, are needed. As I conceive it, a history of English literature, however brief, should still be a history of English literature in fact as well as in name and for a history something more is required than a list of authors and their books, and even than a chrono logically - arranged collection of biographical sketches and critical appreciations. It is true that a nation's literature is made up of the works of individual writers, and that for the ordinary purposes of study these writers may be detached from their surroundings and treated separately. But we cannot get a history of such literature unless and until each one has been put into his place in the sequence of things and considered with reference to that great body of literary production of which his work must now be regarded as a part. A history of English literature, then, must be interested primarily in English literature as a whole. Its chief aim should be to give a clear and systematic account, not of the achievements of successive great writers merely, as such, but of national changes and development.

Outlines of a History of the German Language (Classic Reprint) by H. A. Strong Pdf

Excerpt from Outlines of a History of the German Language It must further be pointed out that before an English reader can peruse it advantageously, he must possess some knowledge of German, otherwise many of the illustrations will be meaningless to him. It is intended, in the first instance, to be useful to teachers, who can fill up and amplify principles which space forbade the authors from illustrating more fully but it is hoped that advanced students may derive some aid from it.

Outlines of the History of the English Language by T. N. Toller Pdf

Excerpt from Outlines of the History of the English Language In the following pages an attempt is made to give some idea of the conditions under which language-material was gradually accumulated, was sifted and shaped, before the result was attained which we see in the present speech of England. It is an attempt to give such a representation of a very complicated subject as is possible by tracing merely its outlines. These, however, if they are properly distinguished, may at least suggest the claims to consideration which the subject can make, claims that can be properly appreciated only when the outlines are filled in. And surely one such claim is that the study of English affords the opportunity for a varied mental training. For to realise the language of a people at any time in their history would be to realise their life at that time; it is in their words that their thoughts remain embodied, and really to understand their words we must feel as they felt.
