Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the study of English Literature, as distinct from Philology, is a vital aspect of a quality education. It presents compelling evidence that English Literature has been grievously neglected in educational curriculums, despite its importance as a cultural and intellectual discipline. The author decries the widespread practice of conflating English Literature with Philology, arguing that this overemphasis on the study of language has led to a misunderstanding of what constitutes the study of Literature. By providing historical context and examples, the author presents a compelling case for teaching English Literature on its own terms, as a means to understand our history, our morals, and our very selves. Furthermore, the author underscores the importance of studying English Literature alongside other national literatures, particularly those of Greece, Rome, Italy, and France, to gain a broader perspective on world literature and its shared thematic and technical elements. The ideas presented in this book are bold and timely, challenging the status quo and advocating for a more comprehensive and holistic approach to the study of English Literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331248705_0
