Synopsis

Method Of Philological Study Of The English Language by Francis Andrew March. This volume presents a progressive, classroom-centered approach to studying English through philology, blending language analysis with literary criticism. It outlines a method that foregrounds psychology, history, and cross-linguistic comparison, and it encourages teachers to guide students in investigatory work, translation from other languages, and the close examination of English authors. The book surveys topics such as the life and works of Bunyan, Milton’s Paradise Lost, Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Spenser’s Faery Queen, and Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, using model analyses, synoptical questions, and extensive prompts to examine syntax, etymology, phonology, metrics, and textual criticism. Drawing on Fowler’s English Grammar and other reference works, March provides a structured framework for philological study aimed at high school and college curricula, emphasizing both linguistic rigor and the development of critical thinking about language, literature, and national idiom.
