Excerpt from The Renaissance and Welsh Literature: Being a Review of Some of the Welsh Classics in the Light of the Humanistic MovementThese Simple re¿ections upon some of the more notable of our Welsh classics are put in print for the benefit Of the intelligent laity among whom I labour, and are intended as a stimulus to further and deeper reading of the books discussed. They pretend to be no more than they really are - Simple re¿ections. The line of thought adopted starts from the assumption that in investigating the history of literature the best method of procedure is to extract general history from the life-story Of individuals and their books. The more marked characteristics of any period of literature are revealed in certain authors who may be taken as types Of that period. The seers of any age are few as compared with the visionless multitude, but it is to them we must go for an interpretation of the writing upon the wall. In the works of master-minds, the spirit of the age in which these minds lived is incarnate, - is clothed with literary ¿esh and blood. Great men may not be able to grasp the whole of any truth, or see the ultimate issue Of the part of it which they discover, but what they do see and grasp they handle with the dexterity begotten of intellectual and Spiritual superiority.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
