Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selected Essays of Education, Areopagitica the Commonwealth This book has been prepared primarily for the use of my students of Milton, but it will, I trust, be helpful to all those who care to know more of a great poet and teacher of men. A part of Milton´s prose is hardly worth the labor of reading to-day, because it deals with questions pertaining solely to the seventeenth century, and because it is weighted with the mannerisms of his age in violence of language and in involved method of argument. Some of his prose all students of literature should know, in order to see and feel its relation to his poetry; they should feel the large rise and swell of the prose periods, the richness of imagination, the fervor of feeling, the wide learning, and the nice, discriminating choice of words. They should read it, moreover, to compare Milton´s mode of thought and expression with that of the present time. Most students are, in reality, trained in eye and ear by the reading of newspapers and magazines. Their conception of the use of English words, of the English sentence and paragraph, is largely formed from such sources. The reading of the best of Milton´s noble and dignified prose is, therefore, illuminating and salutary. I have chosen the three pamphlets given because they discuss problems which are still of living interest to us. There is no more vital question, nor one upon which there is more disagreement of opinion, than upon the right method of educating our youth. The freedom of printing is to-day practically settled, but so profound is the influence of the press that we are concerned to know the steps by which it attained its freedom and power.
