Book excerpt: Excerpt from College Readings in English Prose The specimens included in this volume may lay claim to representing a greater range in subject matter, in typical forms, and in levels of style than other compilations of the same kind. Here will be found a good deal of that literature of ideas which forms the staple of some recent volumes of selections. But in addition to those things which form a common ground of interest to all students, the editors have taken account of the special interest of the engineering and agricultural student, and aimed to provide material which should appeal particularly to his taste without being so technical in treatment as to baffle the lay intelligence. To diminish further the literary and classical odium, the volume includes a few models which do not rise above respectable mediocrity, mechanically correct and workmanlike pieces of writing, devoid of all distinction of style but fulfilling certain definite requirements of modern journalistic practice. A similar purpose is served by the appendix of student themes, which have been chosen as affording a standard of writing which the undergraduate might reasonably be expected to attain. It is in accordance, furthermore, with the same principle of immediacy of appeal that a considerable proportion of the matter has been taken from contemporary writers. Contempo rary models are of value in the first place as illustrating the standard practice, but they have an additional advantage in that they do not overawe the beginner as the mighty masters of old are likely to. They are helpful indeed in emphasizing the enduring force of the principles which underlie the practice of the traditional masters of writing. Between the acknowledged masterpieces and the less tried material in this volume the editors have aimed to preserve an equal balance.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in English Prose of the Eighteenth Century The principles governing the choice of selections may be briefly explained. In the first place, it was thought well to re present the half-dozen (more or less) most important prose writers of the century by fairly generous and complete speci mens of their work, approximating some twenty to thirty thou sand words each. These selections cover, in the experience of the editor, the assignments of prescribed reading set for one or two weeks, in college courses dealing with the century as a whole. The authors thus largely represented are Defoe, Swift, Steele, Addison, Johnson, Boswell, and Burke. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book American College Course Classic Reprint written by Seymour Eaton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American College Course As stated in the Introductory Note to the first volume of the present series, these books are in reality, as their names imply, popular studies. Everything in them has been written or prepared with the needs of the general reader or student in view as distinct from those of the professed special student. The intention has been to afford such information respecting the authors selected for treatment as will make the study of them not only a pleasure, but an easy pleasure. To that end broad and general views have been presented rather than minute and special ones. Pains have been taken to illustrate the personalities of the authors; to show them as they were as men and citizens, and in their private life and home relations. Very useful, we trust, will be found the notes prepared for readers for use in their own individual studies of the authors. These notes are sufficiently complete to meet the needs of all classes of readers - those who desire to go pretty far in their studies, as well as those who have time and opportunity to go only a little way. Although published in three volumes, these studies constitute one continuous series. Ten authors have been selected for treatment, the ten greatest names in American literature. The student-reader should not rest satisfied until he has made a pretty thorough acquaintance with the whole ten.

This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from College Readings on Today and Its Problems There is an increasing tendency to combine the study of Eng lish with other fields, which we believe educationally to be a move in the right direction. While this collection makes no pre tense at student orientation, it will to some extent serve this pur pose, for the material selected concerns the major fields of study such as Science, Economics, Sociology, Medicine, Art, History, and Ethics. For convenience the essays have been classified under descriptive headings. Another significant trend in education is training for leisure time. This will unquestionably be of increasing importance in the present social and economic readjustment. A new standard of values is being sought. We feel that both directly and indirectly this text affords students an Opportunity to examine, discuss, chal lenge, accept, or reject the Opinions of writers entitled to con sideration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harvard College Library: From the Library of George Lyman Kittredge Gurney Professor of English Literature, 1917 1941 The poem of which the following pages offer a prose rendering is contained in a ms., believed to be unique, of the Cotto nian Collection, Nero A. X., preserved in the British Museum. The ms. Is of the end of the fourteenth century, but it is possible that the composition of the poem is somewhat earlier; the sub j ect-matter is certainly of very old date. There has been a considerable divergence of opinion among scholars on the question of author ship, but the view now generally accepted is that it is the work of the same hand as Pearl, another poem of considerable merit contained in the same ms.

Download or read book Readings in Literature Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Franklin B. Dyer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in Literature, Vol. 2 This collection of readings IN literature is designed as a basal Reader for the eighth grade of the Elementary School or the mid-year of the Junior High School. It has been prepared with the realization that this is a period of transition for most pupils from elementary to secondary education, and that the character of the literature is an important means of bridging the gap between the two. The high-school requirements in literature usually include Poetry, Essays, Biography, Oratory, Prose Fiction, Drama, and Scripture. It is the purpose of this Reader to acquaint pupils with these types of literary expression in their simplest and choicest forms, without taking the keen edge off the pupils' interest by anticipating the more difficult selections that will be read later. The book thus lays the foundations for high school English by presenting many kinds of poetry from Addison down through the recent World War by numerous biographical notes and sketches of statesmen and men of letters, and essays of humor and fancy; by many Simple examples of oratory from American and English statesmen, including some of the most recent; by short stories and tales from Irving, Poe, 0. Henry, and living writers; by a sketch of the life of Shakespeare, and three great scenes from Julius Caesar; Old Testament readings from the book of Daniel, the Psalms, and the book of Job.

This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Best College Short Stories, 1917-18 In my annual yearbook of the American short story it has been my custom to indicate the dietine tive stories in American periodicals by prefixing to the titles one, two or three asterisks, to indicate an ascending series of literary values. I have found it interesting to apply these tests to the stories in the present collection, and when the fact is taken into consideration that no professional writers are in cluded in the volume, I feel that the results are an interesting proof of the imaginative awakening among our American college undergraduates. I should list each of the three stories I have already mentioned with three asterisks, five other stories with two aster ishs, and four others with one asterisk. In other words, of the twenty-two stories in this volume, selected by Mr. Schnittkind as a fair cross section of undergraduate writing, I should have regarded twelve as worthy of distinctive mention judged by the standards applicable to the best professional work.
