The American Language

Category: Author:novel 

 The aim of this book is best exhibited by describing its origin. I am, and have been since early manhood, an editor of newspapers, magazines and books, and a critic of the last named. These occupations have forced me into a pretty wide familiarity with current literature, both periodical and within covers, and in particular into a fam...

The American Mind The E. T. Earl Lectures

Category: Author:novel 

Many years ago, as a student in a foreign university, I remember attacking, with the complacency of youth, a German history of the English drama, in six volumes. I lost courage long before the author reached the age of Elizabeth, but I still recall the subject of the opening chapter: it was devoted to the physical geography of Great Br...

The American Prisoner

Category: Author:novel 

The huge and solitary but featureless elevation of Cater\'s Beam on Dartmoor arrests few eyes.
