A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

English Composition, Book Two, completes the work begun in the first two years of the high school by treating the four forms of discourse, as well as Grammar and Diction, from the more advanced point of view of the third and fourth years. It furthermore presents work on theD rama, theN ovel, theS hortS tory, theE ssay, and Poetry, designed mainly to cultivate a discriminating appreciation of these forms of literature. The aim of the book is not merely to develop skill in expressing thought with clearness, ease, and force, but also to lead the pupil to draw from his inner consciousness, ideas of which he is but dimly aware, and to find in his own experience the richest store of material for composition. The purpose, in other words, is to encourage invention and to develop orderly habits of thought, as well as to teach the principles of good style. The text is intended not as material for recitation, but rather for discussion between teacher and pupil, in preparation for the practical work of composition. The real test of the pupils grasp of a principle will be found in his ability to put it into practice in his own theme writing. In connection with the themes, the chief effort of the teacher should be directed toward cultivating the pupiF spower to criticize his own themes before they are submitted in their finished form.
