Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selected Lyrics From Gray: And His Contemporaries This volume has been prepared with a view to helping high-school students towards an understanding of the principles which underlie force and charm in poetic language, particularly as exemplified in the lyrics of Thomas Gray. To this end there are embodied in the work a discussion of the general literary characteristics of the poet´s age, specimens of contemporary work in lyric poetry, critical notes and exercises intended to assist the student in arriving at an appreciation of each poem as a whole, and in the case of Gray, also of the power and beauty of his diction. The selections from Gray are intended to be studied minutely. Selections from other poets are given to illustrate the work of Gray by representing the literary atmosphere in which he lived, and to emphasize his personal characteristics by the contrasts or parallels which they afford. Similarly, the biographies have been written not as comprehensive accounts of Gray´s most famous contemporaries, but rather as explaining their relation to him, and as illustrating their approximation to or divergence from his manner of life and his views upon it. The notes, it is well to remark, are intended to serve the pupil in making his prelection or preparation for recitation. The teacher will assign a number of lines or pages for home study, and during the next recitation ply the class with questions based upon the notes. This done, it is very desirable that he should interpret the poem to the class, giving its setting in a few vivid sentences, and reading the lines with all the dramatic power at his command. In conclusion he should briefly and enthusiastically, comment on those features of the piece in which he is especially interested. Nearly all success in this work, an excellent authority tells us, depends upon the amount of keen enthusiasm the teacher possesses and manifests for the matter in hand.
