Excerpt from Five Great Authors: Complete Characteristic Selections From the Works of Irving, Hawthorne, Soon, Dickens, Hugo When the time that can be given to the study of literature is limited, it is Often better to study the works of several authors than to give all one's time to the study of one only. This book includes selections from five famous authors. The selections are representative, and the authors are representa tive too. That is, from these stories and extracts we may form a fair idea of the literary character and position of the men who wrote them. And the men who wrote these pieces are among the greatest writers of our century. Washington Irving was the first American man of letters who made himself a reputation abroad as well as at home he remains the representative of the earlier literature Of our country. Hawthorne is our greatest romancer he was not under stood and appreciated early in his career, but by this time he is universally known and loved by us. Sir Walter Scott is the most famous of English novelists his Waverley Novels form an epoch in the literary history of the nineteenth century. Dickens, some twenty years after Scott, repeated Scott's success from his first great book to his last he filled a place in the minds of English readers second to none. Victor Hugo is the one great name in the French literature of our century which overtops every other no other man can stand for modern French literature as properly as he. If, then, we are to make a beginning in forming a taste for good literature, these men are as good men as we can find. If these extracts send their readers to the works of their authors, they will do a great service. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
