LITERATURE:-- Very little material has been published on what is best to select in pure literature. Probably the article “Literature” in the Encyclopædia “Britannica” is the best introduction, followed by W. H. Hudson’s “An introduction to the study of literature”, H. B. Charlton’s “Art of literary study: an approach to literature for the plain man,” and Bisseker’s “A student’s library,” _pp. 11-45_, for general literature. For English the “Cambridge history of English literature,” _14_ vols., Knowlson’s “How to study English literature,” Manly and Rickert’s “Contemporary British literature,” and Williams’s “Craft of literature,” may be profitably read and Cant’s “Bibliography of English drama from _1890-1920_, giving separate titles and short annotations.” _L.A.R. Vol. 24, 1922, pp. 41-57_ and Brown’s “The realm of poetry,” _1921_ should be consulted. Pancoast’s “American literature,” and “History of American literature,” being supplementary volumes to the “Cambridge history of English literature,” should be followed for American literature. The bibliographies and many guides mentioned on _pp. 120-150_ in Mudge’s “New guide to reference books,” should be carefully looked through. “A register of bibliographies of the English language and literature, by C. S. Northup _and others_.” Milford, _1925_, should also be consulted. The general principles of book selection must now be applied, and care taken to be certain that the principal dramatists, poets, essayists, etc., are well represented. Text books dealing with the literary histories of all countries should be available, as well as all guides to literary forms. QUESTIONS
