By Josephus Nelson Larned

Book Overview

Books, Culture and Character is a non-fiction book written by Josephus Nelson Larned and first published in 1906. The book is an exploration of the role of literature and culture in shaping human character and behavior. Larned argues that books and other forms of cultural expression have a profound impact on the development of individual character and the values of society as a whole. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of this relationship between books, culture, and character. Topics covered include the role of literature in education, the influence of popular culture on character, and the importance of preserving and promoting cultural heritage. Larned draws on a wide range of examples from literature and history to support his arguments, and the book is written in a clear and accessible style that makes it suitable for both academic and general readers. Overall, Books, Culture and Character is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the complex relationship between culture, literature, and human character.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
