Book excerpt: English grammar, as a formal subject, distinct from other branches of instruction in the vernacular, made but sporadic appearances in the American schools before 1775. After the Revolution its rise was extremely rapid. English grammar gained momentum as the hold of Latin grammar weakened, and by the end of the first quarter of the nineteenth century it became so generally taught that the common term grammar school, formerly applied to the secondary school of the Latin-grammar type, was now by common consent used to designate an intermediate school with English grammar as its central study. The past 25 years have seen a revival of attention to grammar, but of a very much saner type than before. No other study in the curriculum has had a more spectacular rise and a more dramatic fall. Moreover, concerning no other study to-day are educators more in doubt. The first purpose of this study is to trace the course of this rise and fall, with the changing educational ideals and theories accompanying it; to analyze the causes of the varied changes of the subject, and to determine when, where, why, and by, whom the successive modifications were inaugurated and carried out prior to 1850. The second purpose of this dissertation is to arrange systematically these varying methods used from 1750 to 1850 and to show how they are interrelated both with the shifting conceptions of the nature and purpose of grammar and with the place given the study in the curriculum. The third purpose is to establish with concrete data a basis of reliable facts, especially in the vague period of the English grammar before the American Revolution. A fourth purpose which this study has been compelled to consider incidentally is to show how grammar was interrelated with declamation, oratory, composition, and literature, as these five branches of instruction in the mother tongue of a higher order than reading, writing, and spelling gradually made their way into the program of American schools. Chapters covered in this paper include: (1) Early instruction in the vernacular preceding English grammar; (2) Early appearances of English grammar in America; (3) Influences adding grammars to the curriculum; (4) The rapid rise of grammar after 1775; (5) Traditional methods of teaching Latin grammar transferred to English grammar; and (6) Gradual changes in method before 1850. Appended are: (1) Chronological catalogue of English grammars in America before 1800; and (2) A comparison of the English programs of Turnbull and Franklin. An index is included.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Grammar in American Schools Before 1850: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty, of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature, in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Education N O effort seems to have been made to develop these two important aspects Of English. Grammar with historical accuracy. Indeed, trea tises on the general curriculum, in their infrequent references to this particular branch of the vernacular, are filled with inaccurate state ments of fact and with misleading generalizations, particularly in regard to the early periods.3 Only one who has had to deal with such inaccuracies can realize how difficult it is to ascertain the truth con cerning English grammar. It is therefore with due reservations that the writer states, as his third purpose, an effort to establish with concrete data a basis of reliable facts, especially in the vague period Of English grammar before the American Revolution. A fourth purpose which this study has been compelled to consider incidentally is to Show how grammar was interrelated with declama tion, Oratory, composition, and literature, as these five branches of instruction in the mother tongue of a higher order than reading, writing, and spelling gradually made their way into the program of American schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, America was captivated by a muddled notion of "etymology." New England Transcendentalism was only one outcropping of a nationwide movement in which schoolmasters across small-town America taught students the roots of words in ways that dramatized religious issues and sparked wordplay. Shaped by this ferment, our major romantic authors shared the sensibility that Friedrich Schlegel linked to punning and christened "romantic irony." Notable punsters or etymologists all, they gleefully set up as sages, creating jocular masterpieces from their zest for oracular wordplay. Their search for a primal language lurking beneath all natural languages provided them with something like a secret language that encodes their meanings. To fathom their essentially comic masterpieces we must decipher it. Interpreting Thoreau as an ironic moralist, satirist, and social critic rather than a nature-loving mystic, Transcendental Wordplay suggests that the major American Romantics shared a surprising conservatism. In this award-winning study, Professor West rescues the pun from critical contempt and allows readers to enjoy it as a serious form of American humor.

This book was released on 2008-08-27 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining language debates and literary texts from Noah Webster to H.L. Mencken and from Washington Irving to Charlotte Perkins Gilman, this book demonstrates how gender arose in passionate discussions about language to address concerns about national identity and national citizenship elicited by 19th-century sociopolitical transformations. Together with popular commentary about language in Congressional records, periodicals, grammar books, etiquette manuals, and educational materials, literary products tell stories about how gendered discussions of language worked to deflect nationally divisive debates over Indian Removal and slavery, to stabilize mid-19th-century sociopolitical mobility, to illuminate the logic of Jim Crow, and to temper the rise of "New Women" and "New Immigrants" at the end and turn of the 19th century. Strand enhances our understandings of how ideologies of language, gender, and nation have been interarticulated in American history and culture and how American literature has been entwined in their construction, reflection, and dissemination.
