Longer English Poems: With Notes, Philological and Explanatory, and an Introduction on the Teaching of English (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book, for reasons which need not here be specified, has been completed very slowly. Half of it was printed and in private use some two years ago. I only mention this fact here for the sake of explaining any differences of treatment that may seem to separate the earlier from the later pages. Probably, if I were to re-write the Introduction now (it was written and printed in the Christmas of 1869), I should alter some things in it. No teacher or student, with an interest in his work, but must be perpetually reconsidering and modifying his views. We are often informed that Rome was not built in a day; but neither was the humblest and pettiest village that is: and so the theories of the most inconsiderable scholar as well as of the worthiest master, if there is any thinking and attention at all, are perpetually growing, not, it is to be hoped, wild, but mature, or at least maturer. With regard to the texts in this volume, it has not been thought right to tamper with the orthography of their authors. Whatever may be thought of such liberties in works designed for that volatile being the general reader, there is surely no justification for them in manuals prepared for the student of literature and language. In every case except one, the latest edition published during the authors life has been followed.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive collection of essays that examines the teaching of English language and literature, with an emphasis on the importance of studying classic works. It places modern teaching methods within a pedagogical and literary context, arguing for a blend of traditional and innovative teaching strategies. As such, the author provides numerous specific examples of how to effectively teach poems such as Milton's "Lycidas," Wordsworth's "The Prelude," and Scott's "Rosabelle." Through these examples, the author calls for a return to "great books," while equipping teachers with the tools to engage their students with these texts. This book will be of particular use to teachers and students of English literature and language. It offers a wealth of practical, adaptable, and proven methods for more effective teaching. Above all, the author demonstrates how understanding grammar and etymology, considering the historical and social context, and paying attention to rhythm and prosody makes for a more rewarding and productive learning experience.
