Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Joan of Arc: And the English Mail-Coach It cannot be denied that De Quincey´s prose offers many difficulties to young readers. To them those comparisons and allusions which his quick, resourceful mind compassed with a single bound often present but the discouraging necessity of ferreting out unfamiliar facts and relating them by associations which are, at best, but "new hatched to the woeful time." The notes, therefore, have been made more numerous than the strictest pedagogical orthodoxy might approve in order to clear the way for a free, unhampered response to the life and color, music and magic of these two essays. So true is it that De Quincey´s prose, like Milton´s poetry, must be heard to be appreciated, that it is hardly necessary to express the hope that some good reader may, at the outset, read the essays aloud to the class. Then may follow at discretion such lines of study as are suggested by the introduction. Some apology is, perhaps, due for the elementary character of the outlines for the study of De Quincey´s style and the criticism of any essay. These topics were honestly developed in actual classroom work in an attempt to encourage pupils to discuss an author´s style; and, readily remembered in their logical order, they succeeded in assisting even the most inarticulate student to express some personal appreciation of a whole essay or of passages selected here and there for criticism. But better than being glib about the style of Joan of Arc and The English Mail-Coach is being impressed by their power; and it is the sincere wish of the editor that those who use this volume will frankly discard any part of its equipment that does not make for that end.
