English literature -- 18th century -- History and criticism; Pope, Alexander, 1688-1744
"The introductory essay on Romanticism in our literature is an admirable
piece of work, full of suggestive thought, but Professor Herford is at
his best--and a very fine best it is--in his brief summaries of the
lives and works of individual writers. His Cobbett, his Lamb, and
others that might be instanced, are veritable gems of biographical and
critical compression presented with true literary finish."--_Literary
World._
"A book which is remarkable for freshness and distinction of style,
philosophic grasp of first principles, and critical insight.... When we
add that the book is also conspicuous for delicacy of literary
appreciation and ripe judgement, both of men and movements, we have said
enough to show that we consider its claims are unusual."--_Speaker._
THE AGE OF TENNYSON
"A capital little handbook of modern English literature."--_Times._
"An instructive and readable manual ... an admirable first text-book on
the subject."--_Scotsman._
"Professor Walker has done his allotted task with singular skill,
wonderful judiciousness, critical insight, adequate knowledge and
mastery of facts, keen discernment of qualities and effectiveness of
grouping.... We have read no review of the whole of the Tennysonian age
so genuinely fresh in matter, method, style, critical canons, and
selectedness of phrase. As a small book on a great subject, it is a
special treasure."--_Educational News._

INTRODUCTION TO ENGLISH LITERATURE
BY
HENRY S. PANCOAST
"Seems to me to fulfil better, on the whole, than any other
'Introduction' known to me, the real requirements of such a book as
distinguished from a 'Sketch' or a 'Summary.' It rightly does not
attempt to be cyclopaedic, but isolates a number of figures of
first-rate importance, and deals with these in a very attractive way.
The directions for reading are also excellent."--Professor C. H.
HERFORD, Litt.D.
