Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Southern Student´s Hand-Book of Selections for Reading and Oratory The South has been, from the foundation of the government, the peer, if not the superior, in political oratory, of any other section of the Union. In letters, too, it has done much - much more than it usually gets credit for; though that it has not been equally prominent in this field is due in part to the natural predilection of the Southern mind for statesmanship and arms, and largely to that former ease of living of the educated classes, which made literature as a profession distasteful, rather than to any lack of culture, taste, or genius, - for, witness the surprising growth in volume and value of its contributions to our recent literature, made under the exigencies of its new political and social regime. And yet to American school children the very names even of Southern orators, poets, and prose writers are unfamiliar, simply because the Readers and Speakers heretofore prepared have, from ignorance or design, been sectional or not national - composed of material of either Northern or English origin, to the exclusion of almost everything Southern. This, then, is the raison d´etre of the present volume, which, however, does not attempt a complete survey of Southern eloquence and letters, but aims chiefly to represent the "New South" in oratory, dialectic, poetry, and general literature, in the hope of supplying to our schools a compilation which will be found fresh and interesting, as but few of the pieces used have ever before been in any text-book. While intended for a Reader and Compendium of Recent Southern Literature for advanced classes, it will be found adapted to use as a Speaker in all schools and colleges.
