Excerpt from The Harvard Classics, Vol. 39: Prefaces and Prologues to Famous Books; With Introduction and Notes No part of a book is so intimate as the Preface. Here, after the long labor of the work is over, the author descends from his platform, and speaks with his reader as man to man, disclosing his hopes and fears, seeking sympathy for his difficulties, offering defence or defiance, accord ing to his temper, against the criticisms which he anticipates. It thus happens that a personality which has been veiled by a formal method throughout many chapters, is suddenly seen face to face in the Preface; and this alone, if there were no other reason, would justify a volume of Prefaces.

The Introductory Note: "No part of a book is so intimate as the Preface". Well, thought I, that is just ridiculous. But it goes on to spell out why, and reveals that it is in the Preface the author is "suddenly seen face to face". And indeed, this volume exposes exactly this view.

Introduction to THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH LITERATURE, by H.A. Taine

In the Taine preface, we find his brilliant summary of his method of "historicist criticism". He describes the three-pronged contextual study of human productions: Aspects of (1) race/peoples, (2) milieu/setting, (3) epoch/moment.

In the "monuments of history" -- books and art -- he finds "the two most potent motors of human transformation", namely nature and constraint." He shows how their insensible operation brings religious and literary productions to full light. In his study of English literature, including religious contributions and genre, he explains how "the barbarous Saxon became the Englishman of the present day". ( )
