Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A General Sketch of European Literature in the Centuries of Romance 'Had I my way in the teaching of English literature, I would have the student start with a "General Sketch of European Literature," somewhat resembling Mr. Freeman's General Sketch of European History in its aim and scope and manner of treatment... Such a "General Sketch of European Literature" I would fix once and for all, as an outline map, in the brain of the young student... It is essential that he should know where were the headquarters of literature in each successive period... When Boccaccio is spoken of in connection with Chaucer, when Tasso or Ariosto is spoken of in connection with Spenser, or Boileau in connection with Dryden or Pope, or Goethe in connection with Carlyle, he ought at least to be able to place Boccaccio and Tasso and Ariosto and Boileau and Goethe aright in the general movement of European literature, and in the same measure to conceive aright the relation of each to the literary movement in our own country.' - E. Dowden. 'Literature enables nations to understand one another.' - W. Bagehot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A General Sketch of the European War by Hilaire Belloc A General Sketch of the European War by Hilaire Belloc Excerpt from A General Sketch of the European War It was further pointed out that of its very nature this victory must be an imme diate, brief, decisive thing. Delay, a check (improbable or impossible as that check seemed to be) would mar his chances of victory, because both of his forms of superiority would be affected by it.

The eleven chapters in this international volume draw on a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to focus our attention on medieval and early modern things (ca. 700–1600). The range of things includes actual objects (the Altenburg Crucifixion, a copy of Hieronymus Brunschwig’s Liber de arte distillandi, a pilgrim’s letter), imagined objects (a prayed cloak for the Virgin Mary), and narrative objects in texts (the Alliterative Morte Arthure, the Ordene de Chevalerie, Hartmann von Aue’s Erec, Heinrich of Neustadt’s Apollonius of Tyre, Luís de Camões’s Os Lusíadas, and the vita of Saint Guthlac). Each in its own way, the papers consider how things do what they do in texts and art, often foregrounding the intersection between the material and the immaterial by exploring such questions as how things act, how they express power, and how texts and images represent them. Medieval and early modern things are repeatedly shown to be more than symbolic or passive, they are agentive and determinative in both their intra- and extradiegetic worlds. The things that are addressed in this volume are varied and are embedded, or entangled, in different contexts and societies, and yet they share a concerted engagement in human life.
