Caroline Frances Eleanor Spurgeon (24 October 1869, India – 24 October 1942, Tucson, Arizona) was an English literary critic. She was educated at Cheltenham Ladies' College, Dresden and at King's College London and University College London.Caroline Spurgeon is known as the first female university professor in London, the second in England. She was actually the first female professor involved in English literature, and the first fully accepted in England at all. From May 1900 she lectured on English Literature in London. She became a member of the staff of Bedford College, London, in 1901.[1] She was an expert on Geoffrey Chaucer and in 1911 wrote a thesis in Paris on Chaucer devant la critique, and in 1929 in London on 500 years of Chaucer criticism and allusion. In 1936 she settled in Tucson, Arizona, where she died, apparently on her 73rd birthday from undisclosed causes. Spurgeon, Virginia Gildersleeve, Meta Tuke, Lilian Clapham and others enjoyed interweaving intimate relationships and shared their summers (see - Our Story) [more]

Foreword. The Two Earliest Of The Nine Main Divisions Of English Literature Are By Far The Longest--Taken Together Are Longer Than All The Others Combined--But We Shall Pass Rather Rapidly Over Them. This Is Partly Because The Amount Of Thoroughly Great Literature Which They Produced Is Small, And Partly Because For Present-Day Readers It Is In Effect A Foreign Literature, Written In Early Forms Of English Or In Foreign Languages, So That To-Day It Is Intelligible Only Through Special Study Or In Translation.

This book aims to provide a general manual of English Literature for students in colleges and universities and others beyond the high-school age. The first purposes of every such book must be to outline the development of the literature with due regard to national life, and to give appreciative interpretation of the work of the most important authors. I have written the present volume because I have found no other that, to my mind, combines satisfactory accomplishment of these ends with a selection of authors sufficiently limited for clearness and with adequate accuracy and fulness of details, biographical and other.

The Britons. The Present English Race Has Gradually Shaped Itself Out Of Several Distinct Peoples Which Successively Occupied Or Conquered The Island Of Great Britain. The Earliest One Of These Peoples Which Need Here Be Mentioned Belonged To The Celtic Family And Was Itself Divided Into Two Branches. The Goidels Or Gaels Were Settled In The Northern Part Of The Island, Which Is Now Scotland, And Were The Ancestors Of The Present Highland Scots. On English Literature They Exerted Little Or No Influence Until A Late Period. The Britons, From Whom The Present Welsh Are Descended, Inhabited What Is Now England And Wales; And They Were Still Further Subdivided, Like Most Barbarous Peoples, Into Many Tribes Which Were Often At War With One Another. Though The Britons Were Conquered And Chiefly Supplanted Later On By The Anglo-Saxons, Enough Of Them, As We Shall See, Were Spared And Intermarried With The Victors To Transmit Something Of Their Racial Qualities To The English Nation And Literature.

William Joseph Long (1866–1952) was an American writer, naturalist and minister. He lived and worked in Stamford, Connecticut as a minister of the First Congregationalist Church. As a naturalist, he would leave Stamford every March, often with his two daughters Lois Long and Cesca, to travel to "the wilderness" of Maine. There they would stay until the first snows of October, although sometimes he would stay all winter. In the 1920s, he began spending his summers in Nova Scotia, claiming "the wilderness is getting too crowded". [more]
