THROUGH GOLDEN DOORS TO ENGLISH LITERATURE
A NEW SERIES By Jeannette Marks Lecturer at Mt. Holyoke College
The master-stories of English literature told for young readers. The author, who has been professor of English Literature at Mt. Holyoke and the author of several successful books for both younger and older readers, has been occupied for a long time in making a selection of the best stories from the greatest English writers beginning with Beowulf and the dawn of English letters.
The present volume offers masterpieces chosen from the earliest English literature from the seventh to the fourteenth century, stories which are not readily accessible.
The second volume will offer hero tales of the Middle English period, from Chaucer and others.
In later volumes selections will be made from the masters of modern English literature.
