Readings in English Prose of the Nineteenth Century
Readings in English Prose of the Nineteenth Century
- This volume undertakes to give a sufficient body of prose readings for the use of those engaged in the general study of English literature in the period in question. In the nineteenth century, however, the mass of material is so great that it seemed best to abandon the effort to represent the minor prose writers, of interest less for intrinsic worth than for their relation to particular ideas and movements, and to confine the volume to those of major importance in pure literature, exclusive of fiction. Contains writings by: Samuel Taylor Coleridge; Charles Lamb; William Hazlitt; Walter Savage Landor; Thomas de Quincey; Thomas Babington Macaulay; Thomas Carlyle; John Henry Newman; John Ruskin; Matthew Arnold; Thomas Henry Huxley; Walter Pater; and Robert Louis Stevenson.
