Summary "A Book of English Prose" by Percy Lubbock is a collection of literary excerpts arranged for educational purposes, likely written in the early 20th century. This anthology features selections from notable English authors, exploring themes such as character, leadership, and human experience, making it suitable for students in secondary and high schools. It aims to provide insights into English prose and its evolution through time, combining historical contexts and literary craftsmanship. The beginning of the work introduces the editor’s intent and context, outlining the various contributors and their notable pieces. The collection starts with an excerpt from Sir Thomas Malory's "Morte d'Arthur," diving into the dramatic events surrounding the characters like King Arthur and Sir Gawaine. This is followed by poignant letters such as Queen Elizabeth I's speech to her last Parliament, which showcases her reflections on leadership and duty. The early passages set a tone of commentaries on life and mortality, paving the way for themes that resonate throughout English literature and encouraging readers to appreciate the depth of prose through a variety of perspectives.
