　　The outpouring of English literature overflows all boundaries,including thecapacious boundaries of The Norton Anthology ofEnglish Literat~re. But thesepages manage to contain many of themost remarkable works written inEnglish during centuries ofrestless creative effort. We have included epicpoems and shortlyrics; love songs and satires; tragedies and comedies writtenforperformance on the commercial stage, and private meditations meanttobe perused in silence; prayers, popular ballads, prophecies,ecstatic visions,erotic fantasies, sermons, short stories, lettersin verse and prose, criticalessays, polemical tracts, severalentire novels, and a great dea　　l more. Suchworks generally formthe core of courses that are designed to introduce stu-dents toEnglish literature, with its history not only of gradualdevelopment,continuity, and dense internal echoes, but also ofsudden change and startlinginnovation. One of the joys of　literature in English is its spectacular abundance. Evenwithin thegeographical confines of England, Scotland, Wales, andIreland,where the majority of texts brought together in thiscollection originated, onecan find more than enough distinguishedand exciting works to fill the pagesof this anthology many timesover. The abundance is all the greater if onetakes, as the editorsof these volumes do, a broad understanding of the termliterature.In the course of several centuries, the meaning of the termhasshifted from the whole body of writing produced in a particularlanguage to asubset of that writing consisting of works that claimspecial attention becauseof their unusual formal beauty orexpressive power. Certain literary works,arousing enduringadmiration, have achieved sufficient prominence to serveaswidespread models for other writers and thus to constitutesomethingapproximating a canon. But just as in English-speakingcountries there havenever been academies empowered to regulate theuse of language, so too therehave never been firmly settledguidelines for canonizing particular texts. Anyindividual text'sclaim to attention is subject to constant debate andrevision;established texts are jostled both by new arrivals and bypreviously neglectedclaimants; and the boundaries between theliterary and whatever is thoughtto be "nonliterary" are constantlychallenged and redrawn. The heart of thiscollection consists ofpoems, plays, and prose fiction, but, like the languagein whichthey are written, these categories are themselves products ofongoinghistorical transformations, and we have included many textsthat call intoquestion any conception of literature as only alimited set of particular kindsof writing. English literature as afield arouses not a sense of order but whatYeats calls "the emotionof multitude."

The outpouring of English literature overflows all boundaries,
including thecapacious boundaries of The Norton Anthology of
English Literat~re. But thesepages manage to contain many of the
most remarkable works written inEnglish during centuries of
restless creative effort. We have included epicpoems and short
lyrics; love songs and satires; tragedies and comedies writtenfor
performance on the commercial stage, and private meditations meant
tobe perused in silence; prayers, popular ballads, prophecies,
ecstatic visions,erotic fantasies, sermons, short stories, letters
in verse and prose, criticalessays, polemical tracts, several
entire novels, and a great dea　　l more. Suchworks generally form
the core of courses that are designed to introduce stu-dents to

In the course of several centuries, the meaning of the term
hasshifted from the whole body of writing produced in a particular
language to asubset of that writing consisting of works that claim
special attention becauseof their unusual formal beauty or
expressive power. Certain literary works,arousing enduring
admiration, have achieved sufficient prominence to serveas
widespread models for other writers and thus to constitute
somethingapproximating a canon. But just as in English-speaking
countries there havenever been academies empowered to regulate the
use of language, so too therehave never been firmly settled
guidelines for canonizing particular texts. Anyindividual text's
claim to attention is subject to constant debate and
revision;established texts are jostled both by new arrivals and by
previously neglectedclaimants; and the boundaries between the
literary and whatever is thoughtto be "nonliterary" are constantly
challenged and redrawn. The heart of thiscollection consists of
poems, plays, and prose fiction, but, like the languagein which
they are written, these categories are themselves products of
ongoinghistorical transformations, and we have included many texts
that call intoquestion any conception of literature as only a
limited set of particular kindsof writing. English literature as a
field arouses not a sense of order but whatYeats calls "the emotion

　　"We have seen," says Mr. Burke, "the French rebel against amild and lawfulMonarch, with more fury, outrage, and insult, thanany people has bee~ knownto rise against the most illegal usurper,or the mo~ sanguinary tyrant."——Thisis one among a thousand otherinstances, in which Mr. Burke shews that heis ignorant of thesprings and principles of the French revolution. It was not againstLouis th　　e XVIth, but against the despotic principles ofthegovernment, that the nation revolted. These principles had nottheir originin him, but in the original establishment, manycenturies back; and they werebecome too deeply rooted to beremoved, and the augean stablet of par　　asitesand plunderers tooabominably filthy to be cleansed, by any thing short of acompleteand universal revolution. When it becomes 　　necessary to do athing,the whole heart and soul should go into the measure, or notattempt it. Thatcrisis was then arrived, and there re　mained nochoice but to act with deter-mined vigor, or not to act at all. TheKing was known to be the friend of thenation, and this circumstancewas favorable to the enterprise. Perhaps no manbred up in the styleof an absolute King, ever possessed a heart so little dis-po　sed tothe exercise of that species of power as the present King ofFrance.But the principles of the government itself still remainedthe 　same. The Mon-arch and the monarchy were distinct and separatethings; and it was againstthe established despotism of the latter,and not against the person or principlesof the former, that therevolt commenced, and the revolution has been carried. Mr. Burkedoes not attend to the distinction between men and principles;andtherefore, he does not see that a revolt may take place against thedes-potism of the latter, while there lies no charge of despotismagainst the former.The natural moderation of Louis the XVlthcontributed nothing to alter thehereditary despotism of themonarchy.

It was not the respite of a reign that would satisfyFrance, enlight-ened as she was then 　　become. A casualdiscontinuance of the practice ofdespotism, is not a discontinuanceof its principles; the former depends on thevirtu　　　e of theindividual who is in immediate possession of power; the latter,onthe virtue and fortitude of the nation. In the case of Charles Iand Jamesll of England, the revolt was against the personaldespotism of the men;2whereas in France, it was against thehereditary despotism of the establishedgovernment. But men who canconsign over the rights of posterity for ever onthe authority of amoldy parchm　ent, like Mr. Burke, are not qualified to judgeof thisrevolution.

"We have seen," says Mr. Burke, "the French rebel against a
mild and lawfulMonarch, with more fury, outrage, and insult, than
any people has bee~ knownto rise against the most illegal usurper,
or the mo~ sanguinary tyrant."——Thisis one among a thousand other
instances, in which Mr. Burke shews that heis ignorant of the
springs and principles of the French revolution. It was not against
Louis th　　e XVIth, but against the despotic principles ofthe
government, that the nation revolted. These principles had not
their originin him, but in the original establishment, many
centuries back; and they werebecome too deeply rooted to be
removed, and the augean stablet of par　　asitesand plunderers too
abominably filthy to be cleansed, by any thing short of acomplete
and universal revolution. When it becomes 　　necessary to do a
thing,the whole heart and soul should go into the measure, or not
attempt it. Thatcrisis was then arrived, and there re　mained no
choice but to act with deter-mined vigor, or not to act at all. The
King was known to be the friend of thenation, and this circumstance
was favorable to the enterprise. Perhaps no manbred up in the style
of an absolute King, ever possessed a heart so little dis-po　sed to
the exercise of that species of power as the present King of
France.But the principles of the government itself still remained
the 　same. The Mon-arch and the monarchy were distinct and separate
things; and it was againstthe established despotism of the latter,
and not against the person or principlesof the former, that the
revolt commenced, and the revolution has been carried. Mr. Burke
does not attend to the distinction between men and principles;and
therefore, he does not see that a revolt may take place against the
des-potism of the latter, while there lies no charge of despotism
against the former.The natural moderation of Louis the XVlth
contributed nothing to alter thehereditary despotism of the
monarchy. All the tyrannies of ibrmer reigns, actedunder that
hereditary despotism, were still liable to be revived in the hands
ofa successor. It was not the respite of a reign that would satisfy
France, enlight-ened as she was then 　　become. A casual
discontinuance of the practice ofdespotism, is not a discontinuance
of its principles; the former depends on thevirtu　　　e of the
individual who is in immediate possession of power; the latter,on
the virtue and fortitude of the nation. In the case of Charles I
and Jamesll of England, the revolt was against the personal
despotism of the men;2whereas in France, it was against the
hereditary despotism of the establishedgovernment. But men who can
consign over the rights of posterity for ever onthe authority of a
moldy parchm　ent, like Mr. Burke, are not qualified to judgeof this
revolution. It takes in a field too vast for their views to
explore, andproceeds with a mightiness of reason they cannot keep
pace with.
