Book Description
Excerpt from Syllabus of a Course of Lectures on California Literature and Its Spirit For nearly thirty years I have been collecting and studying California Litera ture, with the avowed Object Of some day writing a work upon the subject, that should be not only an anthology, but a History of the Literature of the State and its makers. Though diverted by the multitudinous affairs of a busy' life, I have steadily pursued this object, and, in consonance with the larger purpose, have written a number of articles on California authors' and their work, and given many lectures upon the subject. During the last few years the latter phase of the work has Opened up considerably and the following outlines, in the main, are of lectures that I have delivered in various cities of Cali formia, to Women's Clubs, High Schools, Colleges, Lodges, Parlors and other audiences. Generally they have been given in one course of ten lectures; some times reduced to but five. Occasionally a single lecture has been chosen for de livery, as, for instance, The Humorists of California; The Nature Writers; or, The Founding Of the Overland Monthly. That on Joaquin Miller has been given repeatedly, and in many Cities throughout the Union. While to those unfamiliar with the great scope of the subject it may appear that so many lectures ought very fully to cover the field, it will be self-evident to the well-informed student that I have given an inadequate and incomplete sur vey of California Literature in this series. Yet it is confidently asserted that, to those who will take the trouble to browse in the pastures here Opened up, as rich and varied a feast as they have ever enjoyed before will be their happy lot. The wealth and variety of California Literature has not begun to be esti mated, nor its vast importance understood.
