About this title

Synopsis

Wilson's Book Of Recitations And Dialogues: With Instructions In Elocution And Declamation : Designed As A Reading Book For Classes : And As An Assistant To Teachers And Students In Preparing Exhibitions by Floyd Baker Wilson offers a classroom-focused manual for teaching reading aloud and performance. Originally published in 1869 by Dick & Fitzgerald and later reissued, the volume combines concise theoretical guidance with practical drills. It opens with instruction in elocution and declamation, covering posture, breathing, voice production, and strategies to overcome embarrassment and stammering. The work outlines a system of voice tones (pure, guttural, orotund, aspirate, tremor) and emphasizes the proper use of emphasis, stress, pitch, time, pauses, and gesture as essential to effective delivery. Part two assembles a substantial collection of recitations and dialogues—original colloquies and celebrated pieces—ranging from Gettysburg addresses to classical soliloquies and war literature. An appendix provides exercises, model sentences, and teacher hints to foster variety, confidence, and public performance. The volume is intended as a reading book for classes and as a guide to teachers and students preparing exhibitions.
