　　in so brief a history of so rich a literature, the problem is how
to get room enough to give, not an adequate impression-that is
impossiblebut any impression at all of the subject. to do this i
have crowded out everything but belles-lettres. books in
philosophy, history, science, etc., however important in the
history of english thought, receive the merest incidental mention,
or even no mention at all. again, i have omitted the literature of
the anglo-saxon period, which is written in a language nearly as
hard for a modern englishman to read as german is, or dutch.
caedmon and cynewulf are no more a part of english literature than
vergil and horace are of italian. i have also left out the
vernacular literature of the scotch before the time of burns. up to
the
date of the union scotland was a separate kingdom, and its
literature had a development independent of the english, though
parallel with it.
　　in dividing the history into periods, i have followed, with some
modifications, the divisions made by mr. stopford brooke in his
excellent little primer of english literature. a short reading
course is appended to each chapter.
