Mere Literature is a collection of essays written by Woodrow Wilson, who later became the 28th President of the United States. The book was originally published in 1896 and is considered a classic in the field of literary criticism.The essays cover a wide range of topics related to literature, including the role of the author, the function of criticism, and the importance of style. Wilson also discusses the works of several prominent writers, including William Shakespeare, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Walt Whitman.Throughout the book, Wilson emphasizes the idea that literature should be appreciated for its own sake, rather than for any practical or utilitarian purpose. He argues that literature has the power to inspire and enrich our lives, and that it should be studied and appreciated as an art form.Mere Literature is a thought-provoking and insightful collection of essays that will appeal to anyone with an interest in literature and literary criticism. Wilson's writing is clear and engaging, and his ideas are still relevant and influential today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
