PREFA CE.
HIS Chart is an outgrowth of my experience in the class-room with a number of classes in the History
of English Literature. It is in fact, as in name, only a Chart. It has not the completeness which
pertains to the purposes of Tables of Literature. It covers, however, the entire field, being made for
students who would take a long and thorough course in English. Its design is practical, chiefly to serve
as a thread, answering to what the Germans so well call a leitfaden, to guide pupils through the maze of
English Literature. The Chart has been a basis for lectures and topical work, has been almost indis-
pensable for reviews, has been suggestive for courses of reading, and, incidentally, has been as indicative, as
diagrams are wont to be, of perspectives in history, of proportions in kinds of literature, and of similar
instructive points.
For convenience, there have been inserted in the Chart references to a few standard books on the history
of literature, and to some collections of specimens of literature. These references may adapt the Chart to
those doing somewhat elementary work. But it is presupposed that the method of instruction is topical
and by the “laboratory method.” The Chart suggests the combination of the advantages which arise from
the various methods of pursuing the study of the history of literature; viz., the linguistic, historical,
biographical, literary, and philosophical methods. (See the Introduction.)
My thanks are due to the classes of students who, in coöperation with me, have built the Chart section
by section. But especially am I under obligation to my pupil, Oscar L. Triggs, B.A., Fellow of the
University of Minnesota. Without him this first formal edition of the Chart would not have been possible
at this time. With pleasure I acknowledge several helpful suggestions from my colleague and friend,
Professor H. P. Judson.

To Divide and Conquer add Correlate and Conquer.
I. Major Period = time during which the native language of the literature undergoes no
important changes in its essential forms.
Remark 1. — Discarding the Keltic, there are three major periods in the history of the English
language and literature: —
Old English: c. 450–1154 A.D. = Synthetic language, Teutonic vocabulary.
Middle English: c. 1154–1509 A.D. = Transitional inflections, Teutonic and Romance vocabulary.
New (Modern) English: c. 1509 to the present = Analytic language, composite vocabulary.

necessarily are but approacimate.
They are chosen and justified, where possible, on account of the
coincidence of significant literary and political events.
II. Minor Period = time during which the native language of the literature undergoes no
important changes in its unessential forms.

ſ (1) Dialects grouped as Northern, Midland (East and West),
and Southern. (2) Strong and weak declensions, cases
and genders much confused. Adjectives have final e as
sign of pl., and to distinguish strong and weak declen-
{ sion. Common infinitive takes “to.” Pres, part. begins
to end in inge. The dual disappears. (3) Vocabulary —

(1) East Midland dialect prevails. (2) Other declensions, save
for a few relics, conform to the strong declension. The
grammatical gender is lost. Case-forms are reduced as
º at present. The e final marks various inflections and
becomes uncertain. (3) The Anglo-French element is
thoroughly anglicized.
1509, see I., Rem. 2.
(1) The national tongue (King's English) relegates dialects
as provincial, and supersedes Latin as the language of
the church and literature. (2) The inflectional e final
becomes silent leaving the adjective uninflected. Nom.
and obj. cases of pers. pronouns are used interchange-
ably; e.g., ye obj. (orig. nom.) and you nom. (orig. dat.
and acc.). Its appears rarely. They be (indicative) ap-
pears alongside they are. The third pers. Sg. prs. indic.
(Northern termination) -s appears beside the (East Mid-

vocabulary is greatly increased from the Latin, and
slightly from the Italian, Spanish, French and Greek.

(2) Third pers, sg. indic. -th becomes archaic. New verb-
phrase made up of the pres. and past tenses of to be and

III. Era = time during which a marked social or political movement has a predominant influ-
ence upon literature. Era (L. aes) = a counter of history.
Rem. 1. Sixteen Eras are marked upon the Chart.
Rem. 2. The Eras are: 1. ROMANO-BRITISH, c. 300–600, from the time of the first traditional
British poet to the end of the English conquest of the Britons at the battle of Chester (607).
2. TriBAL, c. 449–607, from the landing of the Jutes under Hengest, at Ebbsfleet, to the estab-
lishment of the Northumbrian kingdom.
3. ANGLO-SAXON (name used only in political sense by Latin authors of the period), c. 607–925,
the time of the Anglian and Saxon kingdoms until Eadward, the son of Ælfred, is owned (924)
overlord by Northumbria, and even by Scots and Strathclyde.
4. ENGLISC (O.E. form used lovingly by Ælfred and Ælfric), c. 925–1016, time of first national
sympathy, under impulse of Ælfred's victories and writings, under the supremacy of Wessex, the
diplomacy of Dunstan, and the pressure from without of the Danes. But at last Northumbria and
Mercia joining Swegen, attack (1012) Wessex, which introduces the next Era.
5. CoNQUEST, c. 1016–1154, Danish and Norman (1066), foreign kings and literatures induce
Saxon hatred, and linguistic and literary degeneracy of O.E.
6. MAGNA CHARTA, c. 1154–1258, time when the foreign policy of Henry II indirectly prepares
the way for unity and freedom. The combination of barons and bishops wrests the charter (June
15, 1215) from John. The revival of the Saxon spirit and of liberty gives opportunity for an out-
burst of literature, temporarily checked, however, by the Barons' War (1258–65). (Battle of Lewes,
1264) “Now England breathes in the hope of liberty.”
7. ANGLO-NORMAN, c. 1258–1362, time of the rapid development of the House of Commons,
delegates from the boroughs first summoned to Parliament (1264), first legally summoned (1295).
The Commons promote the spread of the English tongue; time of the rapid fusion of conquered and
conquerors into an English people, the Anglo-French element becoming distinctly severed from
the Normans of the Continent. Patriotism intensified by the victories of the Black Prince at
Crécy (Aug. 26, 1346) and at Poitiers (Sept. 19, 1356).
8. NATIONAL, c. 1362–1400, time of the culmination of the movement toward freedom and unity
which flows through the two preceding Eras; time of the spirit of national independence and moral
earnestness (Wiclif), of socialist (Lollard) and agrarian (Wat Tyler's) revolts.
9. REPRESSION, c. 1400–1509, time of religious persecution, of “great disfranchising statute”
(1430), of Wars of Roses (1455–85), and of the “New (absolute) Monarchy.”
10. RENAISSANCE (ENGLISH), c. 1509–1559, time of the introduction and sway of the New Learn-
ing now retarded, now reinforced, by a political and vacillating religious reformation.
11. REFORMATION, c. 1559–1660, time of the establishment of the ethical and religious refor-
mation, of England's leadership of the Protestants, of the colonization of America, and of the
culmination of the reformation in Puritanism.
12. RESTORATION of the Stuarts, 1660–1688, time of the suppression of Puritanism and in
great measure of constitutional liberty, influences which hereby became purified and intensified;
time of French fashions, and of licentious brutality.
13. Constitution, 1688–c. 1789, time marked off by revolutions, between which lies a peace-
ful but progressive stage of the constitutional movement which had flowed from the day of Magna
Charta.
With the establishment of the Constitution, under which the House of Commons assumes
supreme power, a rational atmosphere becomes prevalent. Partisanship is attendant upon the rise
of party government. The end of Robert Walpole's ministry (1742) and the appearance of the
elder Pitt, “the great commoner,” with a “world-power” policy for England, indicate a coming
transfer of power from the aristocracy which, through a dependent House of Commons, had
become autocratic, to the people, – something realized at once in America by the Revolution of
'76. There is significance in the rise of the Press as a popular influence as heard in the cry,
“Wilkes and liberty” (1764).
14. LITERARY REVOLUTION, c. 1789–1815, time of the recognition and advancement in literature
of the revolution at the close of the preceding Era, while politically there is a reaction against the
French Revolution.
15. POLITICAL REFORM, c. 1815–37, time after the overthrow of Napoleon when “radical reform *
by peaceable means was demanded, resulting, after the suicide of Lord Castlereagh (1822), in rapid
political progress, crowned by the Parliamentary Reform Act (1832), a transfer of power to the
middle classes.
16. SoCIAL REFORM, c. 1837 to present time, when political rights having been attained (note
the rapid extension of the suffrage since ’67), industrial and social reforms are sought. Christianity,
supplemented by commerce, affords the motive, and invention and science afford the means, for
intercommunication and for diffusion of knowledge. The insular spirit is disappearing, as is shown
by the popular use of such terms as “intercolonial,” “Anglo-American,” and “international.” The
Era complains with notes of disappointment, as did its Laureate a half century ago,
“All things here are out of joint,
Science moves, but slowly, slowly, creeping on from point to point.”
INTRODUCTION. vii
Nevertheless the Era feels and sees nearer the epoch depicted in the vision of its Laureate, where
“The battle flags were furled
In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world.”
IV. The Foreign Influences, when not indicated by the names of the Eras, are marked by
names printed vertically in the same column.
Rem. 1. ITALIAN is the first influence after the formative period of the language, having its
spring in the genius of Dante (1265–1321) and Petrarch (1304–1374). It comes first in Chaucer's
day as a personal influence, making itself felt in a new taste for allegory; and again as a popular
influence in the “courtly makers” of the age of Henry VIII, in Spenser, Sidney, Lyly, and the
Elizabethan dramatists.
Rem. 2. The FRENCII influence became dominant in the latter part of the seventeenth century,
and is first noted in a change in the style of Dryden. There is a general yielding to French stand-
ards of style and criticism, and their authority is maintained for still another century over one
school of English critics.
Rem. 3. GERMAN. The introspective spirit of German letters, represented by Goethe (1749–
1832), became at the end of the eighteenth century a concurrent influence in English literature, as
is apparent in Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey. This influence, to which has been added that
of modern German scholarship, has continued to this day, although at no time has it been dominant.
Rem. 4. Minor foreign influences will be suggested by the titles of works.
W. Age = time during which an author has had an important immediate influence; e.g., that of
Johnson; or the time of the immediate influence of a group of authors marked through some name
with which they are associated; e.g., that of Elizabeth.
Rem. 1. An Age recognizes chiefly the power of personality in literature.
are paid to the Biographical Method of study.
Here compliments
Rem. 2. Twenty-one Ages are enumerated on the Chart, and are largely self-explanatory. In
one or two cases the name of an Age is supplemented with an old or popular name inserted in a
parenthesis.
WI. The Body of the Chart gives the names of representative authors and specimens of litera-
ture arranged for the parallel study of the Poetry and of the Prose of an Age.
Rem. 1. (1) THE FRAMEWORK is the name given the marginal subdivisions of the Chart. (2) In
general studies the work introductory to the taking up of an author or specimen may well be the
setting up of the “Framework.” (3) On the other hand, in special studies, often it will be profita-
ble to work back from the particular author or specimen to the “Framework.” (4) There should
be, by way of review and application, a summary of each Age, correlating it with the points sug-
gested by the “Framework.”
Rem. 2. (1) GROUP NAMEs, printed in SMALL CAPITALs, are used about which to group certain
authors or kinds of literature. (2) A few names, printed in LARGE CAPITALS, are universal
“group names.”
WII. References to a few authorities for the authors and specimens follow their names,
indicated by the following abbreviations and signs: — -
B. = BRINK, Bernhard ten, “Early English Literature,” translated by Kennedy, Henry Holt. 1884.
G. = GossE, Edmund, “A History of Eighteenth Century Literature,” Macmillan & Co. 1889.
M. = MORLEY, Henry, “English Writers,” Volumes I, II, III, IV, Cassell & Co. 1887–1889.
Min. = MINTo, William, “A Manual of English Prose Literature,” Ginn & Co. 1887.
Min. Char. = MINTo, William, “ Characteristics of English Poets,” William Blackwood & Sons.
1885.
S. = SAINTSBURY, George, “A History of Elizabethan Literature,” Macmillan & Co. 1887.
St. = STEDMAN, Edmund Clarence, “Victorian Poets,” Houghton, Mifflin & Co. 1886.
W. = WARD, Thomas Humphrey, “The English Poets,” Volumes I, II, III, IV, Macmillan & Co.

* = “English Men of Letters,” edited by John Morley, Harper & Brothers. -
(), Roman numbers in parenthesis = Selections in “Old and Middle English Reader,” Zupitza,
edited by Maclean, Ginn & Co. 1886.
f. = flourished, c. = circa, cont. = continued.
WIII. Philosophical Periods = periods determined by a Philosophy of English Literature.
Rem. 1. Ten periods are noted, on the Chart, several of them, however, having a number of dis-
tinct Phases. For a general reference as to the scope of the periods consult Bascom,” or Bascom
as used by Welsh.f
Rem. 2. These periods are merely indicated by way of suggestion. Each one will desire, after
extensive parallel reading, to fill these out by his own discussion of causes, of controlling tenden-
cies, and of persons. The column of Philosophical Periods is placed on the right of the Chart
because, though the Philosophy of the Literature is complementary to its History, in the logical
order the “why” should follow the “what.”
