Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays on Style, Rhetoric, and Language: Edited With Introduction and Notes Rhetoric, in spite of the attention which in every age of the world has been earnestly bestowed upon it, is probably to-day the most belated of the sciences. For this the text-books must to some extent be held responsible. They all, good and bad, have a depressing air of fixity and finality. The principles of expression, we are told, were all discovered hundreds of years ago, they are rigid and inalterable, not to say sacred, and the student who lays violent hands upon them is liable to the charge of presumption and want of reverence. Teaching like this, in flat contradiction to the scientific spirit, has done much to check independence of inquiry and restrict the field of research. This state of affairs, however, cannot long endure. There are signs, such as the introduction of the study of literary criticism into the college curriculum, and the investigation of what are properly questions of rhetoric, in the psychological laboratories, which indicate that old prejudices are in process of breaking down and must ultimately be swept away. It is to take advantage of this change of front as well as to help bring it about, that the publication of this little series has been undertaken. As soon as the scientific point of view is assumed, the history of contributions to the subject becomes of great importance.
