English Literature.

 

The History of English Literature, 100 Years Ago.


Contemporary Literature Press, which focuses on the study of the English language through literature, is now publishing two histories of English literature that are more than 100 years old.

All important histories have always been written from OUTSIDE, never from the INSIDE of the culture they sum up. The best histories of English literature have been written by non-English authors. We are now publishing two such books, both coming from Germany.

This is not unlike the Grammars of the English language: remember Otto Jespersen, A Modern English Grammar on Historical Principles in seven parts (1909-1949); Etsko Kruisinga, A Handbook of Present-Day English (1909-1932); Hendrik Poutsma, A Grammar of Modern English in five volumes (1904-1929); Reinard Zandvoort, A Handbook of English Grammar (1945); Jan Svartvig, Leon Levițchi...

We are, then, publishing these two histories of literature in an attempt to be of use, as Sefton Delmer himself puts it on the cover of his own book, to "schools, universities, and private students." All this material is meant for both classroom and individual use.

Istoria Literaturii Engleze, acum 100 de ani.


Contemporary Literature Press, editură dedicată în principal studiului limbii engleze prin literatură, publică acum două istorii ale literaturii engleze care au depășit vârsta de 100 de ani.

Toate Istoriile care contează ca valoare nu sunt niciodată scrise din INTERIOR: ele sunt întodeauna concepute, gândite și redactate din EXTERIOR. Cele mai bune istorii ale literaturii engleze sunt scrise de străini. Cele două pe care le publicăm aici sunt de pildă scrise și publicate din Germania.

Este același lucru cu Gramaticile limbii engleze: remember Otto Jespersen, A Modern English Grammar on Historical Principles in seven parts (1909-1949); Etsko Kruisinga, A Handbook of Present-Day English (1909-1932); Hendrik Poutsma, A Grammar of Modern English in five volumes (1904-1929); Reinard Zandvoort, A Handbook of English Grammar (1945); Jan Svartvig, Leon Levițchi...

Publicăm așadar aceste două istorii în dorința de a fi de folos, cum spune însuși Sefton Delmer pe coperta cărții sale, "universităților, școlilor și tuturor celor care învață singuri".
