When we treat English authors as
( mere entertainers whose business it is
to provide elegant amusement for our
idle hours we are guilty of a miscon,
ception as to the meaning of literature
which is denounced specifically or i'm
plicitly by every great critic in our
language, and which is certain to pre-
vent all or almost all the possible
good results of our study. The an
swer is to get entirely away from that
theory of literature and to realize that
the poets and novelists and essayists
are men who are trying to unity and
explain life to us and to give us the
zest for it which their divine vision
has brought to them. We must face
literature squarely, recognize in it a
record of the meaning of our civiliza-
tion, and, without confusing it for a
moment with its historical and social
and philosophical bearings. Finally.
in order to give our students anv love
of literature which will be more seri-
GUS than an idle Irritation we must
make plain to them that their first
business is not to appreciate" but to
Observation-Disclosures.
