Produktbeschreibung

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt

Henry A. Beers, a distinguished figure in the field of American literary criticism and history, is particularly noted for his insightful work, 'Initial Studies in American Letters'. Born in 1847, Beers served as a professor at Yale University, where he made significant contributions to the curriculum of American literature. His scholarship laid the groundwork for the study of American literary history as a serious academic discipline. In 'Initial Studies in American Letters', Beers presents pioneering analyses on the evolution of American literature, tracing its unique characteristics and its divergence from European literary traditions. His writing is marked by a narrative style that underscores the developmental nature of the American literary landscape, often highlighting the cultural and sociopolitical factors influencing the authors of the period. Beers' work is thus seminal for students and scholars interested in the formative stages of American literary consciousness. His legacy endures through his lucid prose and astute observations which continue to inform the understanding of the quintessentially American voice in literature. Beers passed away in 1926, leaving behind a rich legacy of literary scholarship that continues to be highly regarded in academic circles.
