Long’s English Literature
No matter what book on the subject a boy or girl may be using in school Long’s English Literature will be a most valuable addition to his stock of books. It should be in every library whose owner cares for the correctness of his English or of his information about English writers. This book is a direct, simple, and interesting account of the great English writers, their works, and the literary periods׳ in which they are included. A sympathetic, scholarly atmosphere pervades the entire work. The information is clearly arranged, and displays a broad, penetrating knowledge of the subject. No English text-book in literature, of equal size, _ can compare in wealth and character of illustrations. The frontispiece—The Canterbury Pilgrims—is a lithograph, in ten colors and gold, of a copy from a manuscript in the British Museum. The quotations, outlines, summaries, historical introductions, complete indexes, and a good working bibliography are of inestimable value to students.
Published by Ginn & Co., Chicago, New York and Boston at $1.50, including the mailing.
