Synopsis
Sympathetic Study Of Books: An Address. June 18, 1895 by George Augustus Strong. The address, delivered at the commencement of Harcourt Place Seminary in Gambier, Ohio on June 18, 1895, explores the 'sympathetic study of books' as a bridge between history and literature. Strong argues that true understanding comes from imaginative engagement with the lives behind texts—the biographies of great figures and the genius of poets. He distinguishes historic imagination from sympathetic interpretation, emphasizes the unity of history and biography, and contends that the real poets reveal their genius through their works, not merely their lives. He praises Shakespeare, Spenser, Milton, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Browning, and Longfellow, urging students to cultivate reverent sympathy with those who shaped literature. The talk also urges disciplined scholarship, careful judgment, and a devout spirit, making the case that reading with imagination can illuminate the heart of humanity and the aims of literature for both scholars and students.
