From the preface: "Although these Chap-books are very curious, and on many accounts interesting, no attempt has yet been made to place them before the public in a collected form, accompanied by the characteristic engravings, without which they would lose much of their value. They are the relics ofa happily past age, one which can never return, and we, in this our day of cheap, plentiful, and good literature, can hardly conceive a time when in the major part of this country, and to the larger portion of its populations, these little Chap-books were the only mental pabulum offered. Away from the towns, newspapers were rare indeed, and not worth much when obtainable - poor little flimsy sheets such as nowadays we should not dream of either reading or publishing, with very little news in them, and that consisting principally of war items, and foreign news, whilst these latter books were carried in the packs of the pedlars, or Chapmen, to every village, and to every home." From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: "one of the pamphlets formerly sold in Europe and America by itinerant agents, or "chapmen." Chapbooks were inexpensive-in England often costing only a penny-and, like the broadside, they were usually anonymous and undated. The texts were similar to those of current tabloid newspapers and therefore reveal much about the popular taste of the 16th, 17th, and 18th century." . more information

Garden City: Garden City Publishing Co. ,. Good. 1944. Hard Cover. 557 pages, cloth, ex-library with usual library markings, rebound, otherwise very good. The preface states "The two volumes here reprinted belong together naturally. They are complementary and uniform in style, method and feeling alike, and they relate the literary history of New England over a period of just one hundred years. The year 1815 marked the beginning of a 'gold age' in the intellectual life of the Western world, while a century later, in 1915, a new group of New England writers bore witness to the tenacity of the Yankee mind. It appeared, however, that the 'genial period,' one of those 'heats', as Emerson put it, 'by which high tides are caused in the human spirit,' had come to a definite conclusion. This was New England's great hundred years." From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: Van Wyck Brooks, 1886-1963, American critic, b. Plainfield, N.J., grad. Harvard, 1908. His first book, The Wine of the Puritans (1909), presented the thesis that American culture has been so pervaded by puritanism with its materialistic emphasis that the artistic side of the nation's life has been profoundly neglected. Although this theme was developed in such subsequent books as America's Coming-of-Age (1915), The Ordeal of Mark Twain (1920), and The Pilgrimage of Henry James (1925), later works, including Emerson and Others (1927), indicate his growing respect for American literature. In 1937 he won the Pulitzer Prize in history for The Flowering of New England (1936). Other volumes followed in the series he called Makers and Finders: New England: Indian Summer (1940), The World of Washington Irving (1944), and The Times of Melville and Whitman (1947). In this series, his masterwork, Brooks interprets American literary history; it is a vivid, varied chronicle, rich in anecdote and infused with the author's humanism. . more information

From the publisher: "Van Wyck Brooks has long been acknowledged as the most distinguished American literary critic and historian of our day, and the literary history of the United States which he began with The Flowering Of New England will surely stand for many years as his primary contribution to our culture. The World Of Washington Irving precedes chronologically the brilliant survey of New England literature begun in The Flowering Of New England and continued with New England: Indian Summer. Washington Irving's time encompasses the birth of the American literary tradition, about 1800, and its rapid growth into the tumultuous years of the early 1840's. Exploring that period, Mr. Brooks has moved away from his regional studies to a consideration of national growth. This volume and those to follow deal with the literary histories of New York, the Middle States, the South and the West." . more information

Yea, my steps have been strengthened in his way. ". This edition is not illustrated. From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: John Bunyan, 1628-88, English author, b. Elstow, Bedfordshire. After a brief period at the village free school, Bunyan learned the tinker's trade, which he followed intermittently throughout his life. Joining the parliamentary army in 1644, he served until 1647. The reading of several pious books and a constant study of the Bible intensified Bunyan's religious beliefs, and in 1653 he began acting as lay preacher for a congregation of Baptists in Bedford. In this capacity he came into conflict with the Quakers led by George Fox and turned to writing in defense of his beliefs. In 1660 agents of the restored monarchy arrested him for unlicensed preaching, and he remained in prison for the next 12 years. During this period Bunyan wrote nine books, the most famous of which is Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666) , a fervent spiritual autobiography. Soon after his release in 1672 he was reimprisoned briefly and wrote the first part of his masterpiece The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come, published in 1678. A second part appeared in 1684. By the time Bunyan was released from his second imprisonment, he had become a hero to the members of his sect, and he continued preaching and writing until his death. The principal works of these later years are The Life and Death of Mr. Badman (1680) and The Holy War (1682). Pilgrim's Progress is an allegory recounting Christian's journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City; the second part describes the manner in which Christian's wife, Christiana, makes the same pilgrimage. Remarkable for its simple, biblical style and its vivid presentation of character and incident, Pilgrim's Progress is considered one of the world's great works of literature. Bunyan's continued popularity rests on the spiritual fervor that permeates his works and on the compelling style in which they are written. His prose unites the eloquence of the Bible with the vigorous realism of common speech. . more information

'One of the great Russian playwrights, Maxim Gorky, is known to English-speaking audiences almost solely through 'The Lower Depths.' Actually he wrote a considerable number of plays that have long been familiar to Russian audiences, and here for the first time seven of them are presented in admirable translation by Alexander Bakshy, together with a biographical sketch of Gorky and a note on each of the plays. This anthology presents a cross section of Gorky's work, including, for example, 'Enemies," a play about striking workmen that shows why Gorky has been regarded asone of the major prophets of the new Russia. These, then, are important not only as plays in their own right, but for the portayal at the hands of one of the eminent Russian writers of thelives of the people of all classes who were living in the uneasy transition between the nineteenth century and the revolution of Lenin and Trotsky, and Stalin.' . more information
