Opis: England an Account of Past and Contemporary Conditions and Progress (Classic Reprint) - Hall John Manley

Excerpt from England an Account of Past and Contemporary Conditions and Progress

In planning a study course on England for the members of the Bay View Reading Clubs, and for "solitaire" members, it seemed important that much consideration should be given to contemporary life and conditions. Of some countries their golden age is in the past. Of such are Italy and Spain. There are other lands which live or have lived deeply in some particular field, where the race of each has expressed and may still be expressing its endeavor with so much splendor that all else is of secondary value. Witness how French and Dutch history and art eclipse all else of interest to students. But England's greatest vitality is now, and it is expressed with almost unrivalled force in nearly every field of thought and activity. England is, all in all, the greatest moral, political, literary, and civilizing power in the modern world. Therefore, a consideration of contemporary England is a theme of the very first importance, and to omit it in any scheme of study would be a serious defect. But when search was made for the right book, behold there was none! Great libraries were searched and English publishers were interested, but the book had not yet been written.
