About Brief History of English and American Literature

Dive into the rich tapestry of English literature with A Brief History of English and American Literature, authored by Henry Augustin Beers, a Buffalo, NY native and esteemed Yale professor, in collaboration with John Fletcher Hurst, a Methodist bishop and the first Chancellor of American University. This expansive narrative spans nearly 900 years, chronicling the evolution of English literature up to the close of the 19th century. While some perspectives may seem biased‚such as Beers dismissal of Mark Twain as merely a time-bound humorist‚his research remains thorough and his critiques thought-provoking. Hurst contributes insightful summaries of religious and theological literature in the final chapters of each section. This book not only offers a unique viewpoint but also serves as an excellent gateway for those eager to explore the classics. (Summary by Kalynda)

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
