Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Syllabus of English Literature This book is designed primarily for college courses in the history of English literature. Its object is three-fold: to supply the facts essential to the intelligent reading of the selections; to point out the characteristics which render each author significant in the development of our literature; to set the student at work for himself by encouraging him to find in the texts illustrations of the significant points named in the outlines and in the studies. It is expected that the book will be used in conjunction with one of the anthologies, such as English Poetry and English Prose, edited by Professor Manly; Century Readings in English Literature, edited by Professors Cunliffe, Pyre, and Young; Twelve Centuries of English Poetry and Prose, edited by Professor Newcomer; or the older volumes of selections such as Ward´s English Poets and Craik´s English Prose. We no longer regard a jumble of facts culled from a hand-book and mixed with bits of criticism as proof of a knowledge of literature; in theory, at least, we send the pupil to the poem or the essay. But every experienced teacher knows that in the present method two dangers lurk: the failure of the pupil, through his ignorance of fundamental facts, to grasp the full significance of a piece of literature, or of a writer, or of a period of literary development; and the extreme difficulty of intelligent reading. These dangers we seek to avoid through the lecture, the conference, and the examination. But if the lecturer finds it necessary to dictate pages of dates, bibliographies, and summaries of criticism, and the examination test only the memorizing of these facts and the knowledge of the stories or the themes of the works studied, wherein have we advanced beyond the old method?
