On Teaching English: With Detailed Examples And An Enquiry Into The Definition Of Poetry - Softcover
Synopsis
On Teaching English: With Detailed Examples And An Enquiry Into The Definition Of Poetry by Alexander Bain is a foundational work in rhetorical pedagogy. It surveys prevailing opinions on how best to teach English, offering a two-track approach that combines systematic principles in composition with the close study of exemplary texts. The book presents Select Lessons on the leading intellectual and emotional qualities of style, illustrated by passages from Shakespeare, Bacon, Macaulay, Carlyle, and others, and covers practical topics such as Essay Writing, Paraphrasing, and the translation of poetry into prose. A major portion is devoted to an extended Definition of Poetry, exploring the role of language, contrasts with Science, Oratory, Morality, and Religion, and the relationship of poetry to Narrative, Description, and Exposition. Bain argues that poetry is a branch of Fine Art whose aims include elevating thought, beautifying language, and alleviating human pain. The volume advocates teaching by principles buttressed by continuous textual exemplars, emphasizing discrimination in style and the management of structure to produce lucid, economical, and effective English.
