HOW AND WHAT TO READ
Chapter v: Landmarks in Modern Literature
By Mr.. II. p.

dramatists, not even "rare Ben JON
son" or Marlowe, are read today.
For us they are dead, and Shakes
peare alone remains as the represen-
tative of the Golden Age" though
perhaps we must include in it Bacon
and Milton, writers who stand some
what apart.
Robinson Crusoe-1719.
The next principal epoch is just
one hundred years later, when the
reign of Queen Anne was adorned by
the essayists, headed by Addison; by
the classic" poets, foremost among
whom are Dryden and Pope; and by
the first of the novel writers, Defoe,
the author of Robinson Crusoe. Here
we find three different kinds of
authors equally eminent. This "age"
continued for seventy-fve years,-in-
deed, we may say hundred, expir-
ing on the appearance of the poets
Burns, Wordsworth, and Coleridge.
1t is called the Classic Age" be-
cause the leading writers, especially
the poets dryden, Pope, etc.,, tried
to follow the classic models of Greece
and Rome, and so produced work
most highly polished and theoretically
correct !, but of course it was artificial
and wanting in the instructive and
spontaneous elements of poetry as we
know it in the nineteenth century
poets. The term Classic" however,
does not apply to the novelists ts-Rich-
'ardson, Fielding, Sterne, Smollet, and
Goldsmith, following Defoe and Bun
yam. These novel writers were leeked
on as too low for critical attention;
but the prose of Addison, Steel, Swift,
Johnson, and Goldsmith was admired
as prose had never been admired be-
fore, and our later age has accepted
this prose as the greatest literary
achievement of the eighteenth CEN
fury. The modern reader will find
his chief interest in the literature of
the nineteenth century. And now
there are few dates that we should
remember.
Burns-1786.
Burns prepared the way for the
new poetry-a poetry simple, spon-
taneous, tender, and true, as the poe
try of Pope was artificial, clever, and
elegant" The Kilmarnock edition
of Burns poems appeared in 1886.
1t was a country print of the immor-
tai work of rude country poet.
Lyrical Ballads-1798.
The romantic movement" in poe
try, as it was called, was really
inaugurated in 1898, date always to
be remembered, by the little volume
of Lyrical Ballads published jointly by
Wordsworth and Coleridge. The
first of these to take up the new poe
tic movement was Scott, in his Lay of
the Last Minstrel, which at once be-
came popular. For ten years Scott
was the popular poet, but then he was
succeeded by Byron, the poet of the
dark and cynical. Close on the heels
of Byron came Shelley and Keats.
Last of all came Tennyson and
Browning.

ri desultory way that they never
know whether they are really
familiar with standard literature or
not. All the books of one author are
read because they are liked; and none
of the books of another are known be-
cause the reader never managed to
get interested, or never happened to
have his or her attention called to
that authors books. A very simple
working system is needed, with land
marks, as it were, set up here and
there to guide the choice of books at
all times and make it intelligent and
just.
Shakespeare-l6OO
English literature practically be-
gins with Shakespeare, who did his
best work about 1900 A. D., three
hundred years ago. Two important
poets come before him, Spenser, who
was still living when he began to be
known as successful dramatist, and
Chancer, who was a contemporary of
Boccacio and the first noteworthy
writer in the then new English tom
que, that tongue in which Norman
French had mingled with Anglo
Saxon in the common patois of the
people, though pure French and Latin
remained the languages of the court
and of scholarship.
The language in which Chancer
wrote is now so antiquated that it is
not easy for the ordinary person to
read it, His Canterbury Tales" are
pleasant and cheerful, for he was an
eminently sane man; but what he
wrote has been often rewritten since
his time till we are quite familiar
with most of his stories and ideas
through other channels.
Spenser, whose best work is the
Fairie Queen, though he wrote so
near the time of Shakespeare, seems
decidedly more antiquated; yet as
compared with Chancer, he is easy
reading. The Fairie Queen is one
long series of beautiful and sensuous
images, a mingling of fair women,
brave knights, and ugly dragons
which in his hands attain a dreamy
charm. Says Taine, "He was pre-
emincntly a creator and dreamer,
and that most naturally, instinctively,
and increasingly. He might 60 on for
ever describing this inward condition
of all great artists :. A character
appears to them, then an action, then
a landscape, then succession of
actions, characters, landscapes, pro-
ducing, completing, arranging them
selves before our eyes. This fount of
living and changing forms is mex
haustible in Spenser. He has but to
close his eyes and apparitions arise;
they abound in him, crowd, overflow;
in vain he pours them forth; they
continually float up, more copious
and more dense" If one likes that
sort of thing one. can soon learn to
read Spenser with ease and enjoy
ment, and in the whole range of Eng
lish literature we shall find nothing
so sensuously sweet as his poetry, in
his own musical "Spenserian" stanza.
AS we have said, for the ordinary
reader English literature begins with
Shakespeare. He was the central
figure of the brilliant era of Queen
Elizabeth: but none of his fellow

artists, giving to the people what they
can that they think the people will
like, and each in his own way.
-- IrviTlg-1820.

Our nTSt Wrllcr OF importance was
Irving, whose Eketchbook was pub
lished in 1920. Irving has been called
the American Lamb, though Lambs
essays did not begin to appear until
five years later; and he was more of
a story teller than Lamb.
James Fenimore Cooper began his
literary career as professed imitator
of Scott in 1920; but he soon de-
veloped a purely American romantic
novel, the novel of the Indian. He is
no very great novelist; but his books
are still popular.
The first American poet was Viii
liam Cullen Bryant, whose best poem,
Thanatopsis, was written when he
was eighteen, in 1912.
Between 1880 and 1910 appeared
some of the best work of Poe, Long
fellow, and Emerson; but they were
as utterly distinct in their spirit and
purpose as if they had belonged to
different ages. Poe was the poetic
inventor, the discoverer of the drama
tic principles of plot in story writing,
and the original literary critic; Long
fellow was the sweet singer of the
people, the home poet, unoriginal but
beloved by all; Emerson was the phil
osopher arsi hsan of letters combined,
the serious essay writer and interpre-
ter to the people of the new discov-
cries of the great students of philoso-
ply.
Following Longfellow were the
poets Lowell, Whittier, and Holmes,
all of whose best work just proceeded
or just followed the Civil war.
Scarlet Letter-1851.
The one great American novelist is
Hawthorne, whose Scarlet Letter ap-
peared in 1851-his first great novel
and whose best work was all COM
pleted prior to 1861, the year of his
return from his consulship at Liver
pool.
Many of our political leaders have
been great writers, too. The first
was Benjamin Franklin, whose Poor
Richards Almanac and Autobiogra-
ply must certainly be included among
the great works of American letters.
Then Daniel Webster, who stands
among the first great orators in the
English language, was the author
(between 1880 and 1860) of series
of speeches, many of which have been
accepted as an important part of our
literature. And among short mas
terpieces there is none greater than
the Gettysburg speech of Abraham
Lincoln, though it would not be pro-
per to speak of him as a man of letters.
1t will be seen that practically all
of our great American literature ap-
peared between the War of 1912 and
the Civil war. Since the Civil war
there has been a new era; but it is
not our present purpose to estimate
current writers.
SUMMARY
To summerize the whole field,
English and American, we may say
that the literature that we call stan
dard began with Shakespeare, three
hundred years ago. The first work in
that period was Spen- page 8. Col. 81
