Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Schoolmaster Literature: Containing Selections From the Writings of Ascham, Moliere, Fuller, Rousseau, Shenstone, Cowper, Goethe, Pestalozzi, Page, Mitford, Bronte, Hughes, Dickens, Thackeray, Irving, George Eliot, Eggleston, Thompson, and Others It is my office only to stand in the portico and open the door of the present edifice, which has been builded right skillfully by another. If the delight of the intelligent reader were the only purpose in view, hardly anything could be better than such a compilation as the present one, showing the part played by the schoolmaster in the literature of diverse ages and of different nations. It is quite worth while, for example, to take the ideal of a good schoolmaster constructed by quaint old Thomas Fuller and put it alongside the Blimbers, and to place Shen-stone´s village school, "where sits the dame disguised in look profound, And eyes her fairy throng, and turns her wheel around," in juxtaposition with the immaculate Miss Pinkerton´s most respectable seat of learning on Chiswick Mall, or with quaint old Bartle Massey´s night school for full-grown men. Here we have the schoolmaster under many lights, and literature in widely varying moods. As a means of cultivating a taste for literature and a discriminating taste in literature, I know of no better collection than this, particularly for the use of teachers, whose relish is certain to be quickened by professional interest in the subject. But literary interest and literary culture are by no means the only ends served by such a collation of representative delineations of the schoolmaster. Some phases of truth are not easily communicated in didactic form; they are seen best in the delicate shading of artistic literature.
