Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Theories of Style: With Especial Reference to Prose Composition; Essays, Excerpts, and Translations This volume, the editor imagines, may prove serviceable to teachers of English in more than one way. From its origin - and apart from the style of the editor´s translations - it may be regarded first of all as a body of literary models to be used in illustration of some good handbook on English prose composition, by classes in what is technically known as Exposition, i.e. written explanation. The editor´s conception of such a volume of models arose partly from his belief - which needs no discussion here - that of the three generally recognized Forms of Prose Writing, namely, Description, Narration, and Exposition, only Exposition can be advantageously taught as a practical art by the average instructor in English to the average class; partly from his objection to certain books of "standard" selections, which professed rhetoricians have seen fit to compile for similar purposes of illustration in the classroom. In his opinion these compilations suffer from one fairly obvious defect. As a rule, they seem to lack a fundamental principle which every teacher of thinking and writing is supposed to demand of every book, and to inculcate in the mind of every pupil. They seem lacking in unity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
