About this title

Synopsis

The Sixth Reader: Consisting Of Extracts In Prose And Verse, With Biographical And Critical Notices Of The Authors : For The Use Of Advanced Classes In Public And Private Schools by George Stillman Hillard is a nineteenth?century teaching anthology designed for advanced classes. It blends prose and poetry with biographical sketches and critical notes, and incorporates an introductory treatise on elocution by Prof. Mark Bailey that connects vocal technique to clear, expressive reading. The work emphasizes training in expression, emphasis, pauses, and the relationship between voice and meaning. Part I concentrates on the Principles and Illustrations of the Elements of Vocal Expression, including Force, Time, Slides, Pitch, Volume, Stress, and Quality, with guidelines for determining a general spirit and for yielding relative emphases to ideas. It features didactic reading selections from both American and British writers (e.g., Grace Darling, Rip Van Winkle, The Old Clock on the Stairs, The Slave Trade) and educational aims such as shaping expressive, humane reading as disciplined art. The anthology also offers biographical sketches and selections intended to cultivate patriotism, virtue, and historical awareness in students.
