Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions and Proceedings of Modern Language Association of America, 1886, Vol. 2 The opposition to the modern languages exhibited by the friends of classical learning and the impatient recoil of the friends of the newer culture against the classics have to a large extent proceeded from a failure to define clearly the purposes in view, and to show how differently in one or two respects the two groups of study stand related to training and culture. The overlooking of this difference has tended to confuse the issues and to sharpen the antagonism. With the spirit that accepts or rejects the old, because it is old, a company of scholars can have no sympathy. In estimating the value of the ancient or modern language in systems of education, we must inquire first what the methods of study are, then how the two groups of languages stand related to these methods as applied to one or the other of these groups. We concern ourselves this evening mainly with the modem. I. An important aim in studying a language may have reference to the practical use of the language in conversation. In days when Latin was the language of the church and the courts, and later the medium of conversation between learned men and diplomatists, a method of study tributary to fluency in speech had for that language some importance. But the increase in travel, the facility with which men of different nations visit one another, and the broader interest of scholars in common things and common men make some knowledge of foreign languages now a matter to many of advantage. Whereas three centuries ago the number studying modern languages for conversational use was relatively small, it has become essential in the leading countries of Europe, that at least two modern languages should be thoroughly studied in the schools with this practical use in view. - As far as our own country is concerned, we are three thousand miles from European culture; and England is the country which we as a rule first visit when traveling in the old world, England offering our own language and conferring in that language on all lovers of wisdom and culture a priceless literature and impressing, if I may say so, her language on the great cities of Europe. Certainly we are not forced by geographical position to this as the chief method of study of the new tongues, as are the French and Germans. Undoubtedly, however, this is the earlier and first idea with which foreign languages were studied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It seems equally probable that while the professor of a modern language will have had a great advantage over most scholars in learning the vocabulary, and idioms, and phonetics of that language, he will not have mastered it as completely as his native tongue. It may be assumed as certain that, unless he accustomed his organs of speech to its sounds as a child, there will generally be a touch of strangeness in his pronunciation. A knowledge of phonetics, though carefully applied, cannot efface the hardening effects of years, and the prepositions, genders, and vocabulary will with most students even after years of practice be less natural than the same features of their own tongue. It is, then, for every student a question of degree as to how perfect his conversational use of a foreign language may become, a question determined by accidents largely, by the aims of the scholar, by the breadth or narrowness of acquisitions sought. Too much time given to perfecting one's self in this accomplishment, means time taken from other, and often more important, pursuits. Still, if no one beginning at eighteen can become a perfect master of a foreign language, it must nevertheless be well worth while for some, especially those who are to be teachers, to aim at it, and approximate it as closely as possible, and it is always true that that language of which one knows so much of the vocabulary and grammar that it can be used with some correctness in conversation on ordinary subjects is so far forth more truly an instrument, and this condition gives a truer sense of enjoyment and mSstery. How far composition in the foreign tongue, a somewhat different attainment from fluency in speaking and yet close...

This book was released on 2007-12-07 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early years of American nationhood, beginning at the close of colonial rule and ending with the onset of the Civil War, saw both a young country and its literature grow in confidence and develop an awareness of self-identity. Pride in the new nation was a primary characteristic of much literary output in the early years of the country, whether in the form of fiction, poetry, drama, essay, travel writing, or journal. As the country grew and generations began to be born on the new land, Romanticism took hold, lauding not only the construct of the nation but also the natural power and potential of the country. This era of American literary expression has left behind a rich legacy of traditionally canonized authors, as well as material published in the growing periodical press that was of immediate importance to the population at the time. Literary Research and the Era of American Nationalism and Romanticism: Strategies and Sources examines the resources that deal with the literature produced in the approximately 70 years of antebellum American literature. Covering all formats, the volume discusses bibliographies, indexes, research guides, archives, special collections, microform, and digital primary text resources and how they are best utilized for a literary research project. Suggestions are offered for best practices for research while exploring a wide selection of resources that run the gamut from classic standards of American literary bibliography through contemporary open-access digital resources.
