Synopsis
Elements Of Literature, Or, An Introduction To The Study Of Rhetoric And Belles Lettres by Eustace A. Ansley is a comprehensive manual on literary theory and composition. It defines literature and the aims of authors: to instruct, to please, and to move. It treats the two fundamental elements of composition—thoughts and words—and the necessity of unity and coherence. The work surveys the faculties of genius, memory, imagination, sensibility, judgment, and taste, and presents a taxonomy of styles (simple, temperate, sublime) and of five major kinds of composition: epistolary, historical, didactic, oratorical, and poetical, with subdivisions including epic, drama, satire, lyric, and prose. It offers practical guidance on constructing arguments, transitions, and figures of speech, as well as methods of study: reading, analysis, translation, imitation, and practice. The Appendix provides strategies for acquiring the art of composition and a long table of questions guiding careful analysis. The book aims to train students in criticism, creation, and appreciation of belles lettres.
