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.

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 Theories of History : History Read across the Humanities

In the past few decades, scholars have celebrated the end of history and pro-claimed its rebirth.

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 land of footprints

Books of sporting, travel, and adventure in countries little known to the average reader naturally fall in two classes-neither, with a very few exceptions, of great value. One class is perhaps the logical result of the other. Of the first type is the book that is written to make the most of far travels, to extract from adventure the last thrill, to impress the awestricken reader with a ful…

On the beach are flimsy summer cottages, and hard beside them is the old harbour, guard…

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.

And experimenters on the longitude may as well know, so that they may act advisedly in attempting another brick moon or in re…

The idea that the extraordinary narrative which has been called the Joyce-Armstrong Fragment is an elaborate practical joke evolved by some unknown person, cursed by a perverted and sinister sense of humour, has now been abandoned by all who have examined the matter. The most macabre and imaginative of plotters would hesitate before linking his morbid fancies with the unquestioned and trag…

E-book Round the red lamp

My first interview with Dr. James Winter was under dramatic circumstances. It occurred at two in the morning in the bedroom of an old country house.

I am told that one of my parents, who h…

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.

The cavalry were in front of the Grande Armee, and the Hussars of Conflans were in front of the cavalry, and I was in front of the Hussars. But…

My father once ran for Congress, but…

E-book The hound of the baskervilles

‘No, no, my dear Watson, not all—by no means all. I would suggest, for example, that a presentation to a doctor is more likely to come from a hospital than from a hunt, and that when the initials ‘C.C.’ are placed before that hospital the words ‘Charing Cross’ very naturally suggest themselves.’ ‘You may be right.’ ‘The probability lies in that direction. And if we tak…
