HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY NEW YORK CHICAGO STUDY LISTS, CHRONOLOGICAL TABLES AND MAPS TO ACCOMPANY AN INTRODUCTION TO ENGLISH LITERATURE BY HENRY S. PANCOAST NEW YORK HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY 1908 Copyright, 1908, BY HENKY HOLT AND COMPANTi ROBERT DRDMMOKD COMPANY, PHINTERS, NKW YORK NOTE Although this little book is intended to sup- plement the revised edition of the author's In- troduction to English Literature, it may not be amiss to point out that it is practically complete in itself. It could be used in conjunction with any other similar manual, or as a hand-book of reference for the more ordinary facts and dates by the student or general reader. Many difficulties were encountered in preparing the map of Shakespeare's London. This is the first attempt ever made (so far as the author is aware) to show the location of the theatres and certain other points of literary interest, on such a map. Under all the conditions, absolute accuracy could hardly be hoped for, nor was it essential to the author's purpose. The map pretends to be nothing more than a sketch of Shakespeare's London and vicinity. It is designed to give the student a general notion of the topography of the town and its surroundings, and of the approximate position of some of the chief points of literary interest.

The following list is intended to be a practical working guide for the student or the general reader. As a rule, the references are to cheap and readily obtainable books, and (except in a few cases) works in foreign languages have been excluded, unless they can be had in an English translation. It has been found impracticable to include all the excellent school or college editions of standard texts. To have done this would have involved an unnecessary repetition of titles, and extended the list to an unwarrantable length. Many of them, however, have been omitted with reluctance. In some cases a method of approach to an author has been indicated by enumerating a few of his works in the order in which they are to be read. Books especially recommended are starred (*); this means that they are considered for some reason, indispensable, or particularly desirable; they do not, of necessity, possess the greatest intrinsic merit. The following abbre- viations are used in the list: E. M. L. = English Men of Letters Series; G. W. S. = Great Writers' Series; D. N. B. = Dictionary of National Biography; E. E. T.

Suggested Readings. Cowper's works will be found to repay close and repeated reading, both for their intrinsic merits and for their intimate relations to the literary and general history of his time. The student should make himself thoroughly familiar with the Letters, which can hardly be over-praised, and with The Task; he should know, of course, all the best of the shorter poems (Lines on the Receipt of My Mother's Picture, The Loss of the Royal George, The Castaway, John Gilpin, etc.), and he should have at least some acquaintance with the earlier poems (The Progress of Error, Tirocinium, etc.) which are often unduly neglected.
