Excerpt from A Literary History of America Here again we come to a word so simple and so frequent that an important phase of its meaning is often overlooked. Nationality is generally conceived to be a question of race, of descent, of blood, and yet in human experience there is a cir cumstance perhaps more potent in binding men together than any physical tie. That old legend of Babel tells the story. The confusion of tongues broke every bond o...

Excerpt from Stelligeri and Other Essays Concerning America The change came none too soon. Harvard College, to be sure, has always been tme to what remains its oldest and strongest tradition - that every man and eveiy generation has an inalien able right to think. Thereby the men and the generations make their conclusions - no matter how orthodox - impregnably their own. The deep conservatism which has preserved this heretical tradition for a...

Excerpt from William Shakespere: A Study in Elizabethan Literature As this book has grown from lectures given, at Harvard College, to classes who were systematically reading the works under discussion, it has been impossible to avoid the assumption that a text of Shakspere is always close at hand. Whoever is familiar with the subject must instantly perceive my constant obligation to the writings of Mr. Dowden and Mr. Furnivall. Just as helpf...

Excerpt from Liberty, Union and Democracy At least, the lectures in which I touched on this aspect of America proved to be among those which were most helpful to my French hearers, who desired to understand what man ner of men we Americans are. And it has seemed to me that perhaps some of my countrymen, too, might be glad to consider, in this broadly general way, those national ideals which we have come to feel most indisputably our own, most...

Excerpt from Ralegh in Guiana: Rosamond and a Christmas Masque These essays in dramatic verse are made in a manner common to all the Elizabethan play wrights. The better one knows these writers, the better one understands that they were really translators into terms of speech and action of material which they found in narrative form. Among the reasons which moved me to attempt something in their manner was a desire, when I was lecturing about...

Excerpt from English Composition: Eight Lectures Given at the Lowell Institute These two traits the one indicative of rather sur prising ignorance of the nature of the matter in hand, the other of a profound error are what has prompted me to prepare this book. Year by year I have seen more and more clearly that although the work of a teacher or a technical critic of style concerns itself largely with the correction of erratic detail, the real...

Excerpt from A History of Literature in America When it was proposed that Wendell's Literary History of America should be reprinted in a school edition, it was clear to us that for such use the book needed thorough revision. Many passages, which properly found place in a book intended for general reading, involved expressions of opinion obviously unsuitable for schools. In preparing this school version, our object has accordingly been to omit...

Excerpt from Cotton Mather: The Puritan Priest I have not commended any person, but when I have really judged, not only that he deserved it, but also that it would be a benefit unto posterity to know wherein he de served it, yett I have left unmentioned some cen surable occurrences in the story of our Colonies, as things no less unuseful than improper to be raised out of the grave, wherein Oblivion hath now buried them.

Excerpt from The Mystery of Education: And Other Academic Performances Since the beginning Of this year 1909 I have been called on no less than five times to speak before audiences gath ered together on occasions of academic solemnity. Such performances are not quite cheerfully portentous either for us who take part in them or for those who are obliged to sit at our feet. Neither can quite avoid an underlying assumption that they will result ...
