E-book History of English Literature

Little indeed is known of the origin of English Literature, though it is reasonable to assume that verse of an extemporary kind was composed long before the period of the earliest written records and that we can be certain that poetry made its appearance long before the first prose was written down. It is important from the outset to remember that the extant remains of Old English Literature ha…

E-book Handbook Cognition and Emotion

The present volume does not generally focus on the question of whether thoughts (cognition) or feelings (emotion) are more functional.

Yet, it has become increasingly apparent that cognition and emotion often inter…

E-book Emotions in Korean Philosophy and Religion : Confucian, Comparative, a…

he nature of emotions was generally criticized in the Western tradition of philosophy. This criticism of the emotional part of human nature and experience is known to have its root in the mainstream Platonic tradition.

E-book A History of Rome to 565 A.D

The student beginning the study of Roman History through the medium of the works of modern writers cannot fail to note wide differences in the treatment accorded by them to the early centuries of the life of the Roman State.

E-book The brick moon

I have no sort of objection now to telling the whole story. The subscribers, of course, have a right to know what became of their money. The astronomers may as well know all about it, before they announce any more asteroids with an enormous movement in declination. And experimenters on the longitude may as well know, so that they may act advisedly in attempting another brick moon or in re…

E-book The mountains

Six trails lead to the main ridge. They are all good trails, so that even the casual tourist in the little Spanish-American town on the seacoast need have nothing to fear from the ascent.

E-book Brave tom

On a certain summer day, a few years ago, the little village of Briggsville, in Pennsylvania, was thrown into a state of excitement, the like of which was never known since the fearful night, a hundred years before, when a band of red men descended like a cyclone upon the little hamlet with its block-house, and left barely a dozen settlers alive to tell the story of the visitation to their…
