Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in English and American Literature: From Chaucer to the Present Time; With Standard Selections From Representative Writers for Critical Study and Analysis; Designed for Use in High Schools, Academies, Seminaries, Normal Schools, and by Private Students This book has been written because there seems to be a necessity for a work of the kind in order to teach literature successfully. Too often the drill in rhetoric and grammar which our young men and women receive in schools ends with the mere technical drill, without any application of the principles of either science to the critical analysis and study of our literature. The study of literature as pursued in the usual way is the study of special biography, and in no way helps the young student either to appreciate the classics of our language or to prepare himself for authorship. The object of this book is to present not only a brief biographical sketch of the representative writers, but also a criticism of their work, and, following this, a masterpiece selected from each author´s writings, with such explanatory notes appended as seem necessary, and such questions as will lead the pupil to study closely and critically not only the beauties, but also the defects, of his language, style, and thought. The teacher will of course add many questions which want of space prevents the author from inserting. It is thought that a sufficient number of questions, however, have been given to induce the pupil to study each selection with care.
