Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Facts, Thought, and Imagination: A Book on Writing The authors of this volume have long felt the need of a book on writing which should view the subject as it presents itself to the writer, that is, as the problem of how to prepare the raw material of thought, knowledge, or experience for expression in words. They have wished to put into the hands of their students a book that should take up the study of English composition where formal rhetorics of an elementary character leave it, a book upon handling facts and developing thought. The three theoretical chapters of this volume represent an attempt to supply this need. They are to be regarded as three essays upon writing, to be read by students who have subjects ready, and need advice. This departure from the usual textbook method will commend itself to teachers who wish to break free from the conventional ruts of composition work. These essays not only give instructions for writing, but also, directly or by implication, suggest an abundance of subjects; they will be found, the authors hope, to be comprehensive in plan and thorough in detail. But their chief aim is to teach principles, not rules, to discuss the practical requirements for handling facts and thought. It is as a second-year or second-term book that this volume is presented, to be used by men or women who have been taught all they can absorb of Unity, Coherence, and Emphasis, and need most of all to write. This experiment in a new method is based upon a successful course, now three years old. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
